Creme of Nature Pure Honey Define Shrinkage Defense Curl Activator, Moisture-Rich Formula with Coconut Oil & Shea Butter, For Dry, Dehydrated Hair 10.5 oz

I was really hesitant to buy this product but I did, and I have no regrets. My expectations for curl definition were low because I have type 4 hair. I typically like to use curl activators as a styler for hold when doing cornrows/braids. But to my surprise it actually curled my hair when I used it in combination with a crave brush. It provides a really good hold without being hard or crunchy! It gives my hair shine. The scent is good (you can tell it's a honey product). It doesn't dry out my hair and keeps moisture in. The price is affordable. It is 10/10 all around. I cannot say if it mixes well with other products because I haven't done so. It's great as a stand alone product, I really don't need a gel or leave-in with it.

This is the only product I use in my hair now. I do praying hands after I rake it in and then scrunch and I just let my hair air dry. It is amazing. This is the holy grail for curly hair. It also leaves a little bit of a cast when it dries that you can easily scrunch out and it will leave you with the softest and bounciest curls without any flaking. Smells amazing too and it lasts a few months because the size of the bottle is big and I only use a quarter-size amount. I also bought a bottle for my mother.

I have to say that this is one of the best curl creams I have ever used. I had tried another product of this brand Creme of Nature by a friends recommendation and I really liked it (the gel from the flaxeed line). I saw this one here on amazon for only $5 and with great reviews and decided to try as well and I am so glad I did. I have 2c-3a hair and I am still not done with my transition so there are areas that don't define as well. My hair also is dry and it has medium porosity so I have invested a lot of money on creams and products way more expensive that do not give me the results this curl activator gives. First it is very concentrated so you only use a little bit and I have very long hair so this tube will last me for a while. It does not leaves residue, it crontrols frizz very well. I live in Miami and humidity here is crazy and it holds the shape of my curls all day and the day after I only have to do minimal revitalization. It leaves your hair shiny and super soft. It became an instant favorite.

Best to use it right after the shower when your hair is clean. It’s a squirt bottle so it’s easy to use. The size is good for the price. Makes my hair super soft for a couple days. The Cons are oiliness and sometimes when I brush small particles come off on the brush and my clothes. But not a big deal for me.

Ok, so I didn’t like this at first. I couldn’t figure out how to use it. Now I wet my hair and put this in until my hair is white. It doesn’t “blend in” to my hair. But as my hair dries, the product dries as well, and my hair is no longer white. It leaves lovely, defined curls. I am biracial and I have a mix between 3a and 3b hair. This product keeps the frizz away and really controls the curls. I haven’t had any issues with frizz or shrinkage, or too much volume. When I don’t use product, my hair moves into a puffy mess. It’s about 3/4 of the way down my back, and is naturally poofy when I have the curls brushed out (0/10, do not recommend!). So being able to just wet my hair and have my curls actually defined is amazing. The hold lasts all day. Really, I could just shake my hair when I take it out of the bonnet in the morning, and just go straight to whatever I am doing. But I am a little OCD with my routines, so I have to renew my curls. I also like that this is cheaper than the other brand I was using, and also gives my hair a nice shine. It still offers movement, and isn’t crunchy unless it’s time to wash my hair, or I use wayyyy too much product.

I have thin, fine, naturally straight, permed hair. I absolutely love this product!!! The smell is amazing, very light & sweet scent. It makes my curls feel soft & silky & look super shiny & ultra hydrated. It looks great after using the hair dryer or just air dry. I have very little frizz when using this product. The only slight complaint I have is it is very sticky which makes it very difficult to run through my hair with my fingers because I always get globs of hair & that goo stuck all over my hands. I’ve used Garnier Fructis curl cream for the past several years but I think they have discontinued it (it was never my favorite product but it was cheap, easy to find at Walmart, & I don’t like mouse because it makes my dry permed hair even more dry & brittle).

I love that this product activates my curls but I’ve started to notice that is has caused more strands of hair to fall out than usual.I do not rinse out this product before bed because it makes my hair soft.This is concerning and I’m sharing this in case anyone else has started to notice this or if it’s just me.

Love the smell! Works as expected. Give my Kinky natural hair defined coils. It's on yhe creamy side.
