Original Curling Custard, Natural Styling Gel, 8 oz

Very quick delivery by supplier . Love the smell of this product have used only 3 times but I'm finding flax seed gel works better . Maybe I need to use this with the knot today conditioner to get better results . But bit wary about ordering because it's so expensive. Going to try again but at the minute I've gone back to my homemade flaxseed gel will update if I get better results with different products.Review update I've found a way to make the custard work and if anyone else is not getting results with it try it it's called smashers technique. It really works as long as you only use about 2 pea size amounts. Achieved perfect spirals on type 2 hair that's last for 4 days. Look up the technique I promise you this is the best way to use kinky curly curling custard

Wow, I purchased this item about 7 months ago and I am just now beginning to think about a repurchase (I still have approximately a quarter of a pot left). Kinky Curly Curling Custard is a great product if: you have curly, preferably thick hair. It is probably too heavy if you have looser waves. It coats the hair and helps curl formation last for dayyyys, like no other curl cream I have tried. Personally I require a small amount of gel over the top of this, because my hair is super frizzy/will lose its curl if I don't. People who don't lose their curl formation might be ok without gel. I also put a light leave in conditioner under it, the Kinky Curly Knot Today one does work reliably well but I also find it works fine with most things. This product has a fairly strong vanilla smell and is the consitency of, forgive me, snot. You need to make sure you distribute it evenly, I just rake it through wet hair, otherwise it can clump a bit. Personally it has never flaked on me. It does "stretch" the hair a bit, and takes forever to dry naturally, or even with a diffuser. But it's worth it.

brilliant stuff makes hair not hard like some gels vur soft and defined. on top of Shea moisture milk or smoothie with oil on top to seal in.if cannot afford a cheap dupe I think of this product is the pink Umberto Giavanni Curl Jelly ....does the same thing it might have like one Paraben in it to make it none curly girl friendly but I haven't noticed it having any bad effect on hair only good.like this product it makes hair soft and defines hair,also they both provide (with enough on hair helps with volume I think too. they are both my go tos.

This product is great for me! And is the product have been searching for all my life :)Being mixed race (half jamaican and half irish) it's hard to find a decent product that does not either dry my hair out or make it too greasey and heavy.Plus, I like my curls to drop, elongating the hair, looking natural and not spring upwards and outwards too much. This doesn't leave your hair crunchy, and a tub will last a long time as not much custard is needed. Ideal for daily use.I run a small amount from root to tip through brushed/damp hair after washing, shake hair around or dry it only a little with the hair dryer or even better leave it to dry naturally. and I can leave my hair as it is looking and feeling great all day :)No more experimenting with different products. Now my hair can be left curly all day everyday and grow healthily.Only downside is yes the price, which is why I didn't give full 5 stars. However, because only small amount of custard is needed each time - one tub will last a long time so I find it's worth it.

I think this is more suitable for tight corkscrew curls. My curls are big and loose so it didn't really suit my hair. Smells a bit unusual but could of gotten used to that. The smell is quite sweet. I wasn't particularly fond of the smell but people did compliment me about the smell though so some people might like it. Might be a good thing it didn't suit my hair since I don't think I'd be able to afford it. It has a really watery consistency compared to other gels I've used. As I said before, I think this is more suitable for small tight curls around a 4A, 4B, 4C curls. Mine are around a 2C/3A curl. I like the way it has loads of natural products though.

I have 2C/3A hair, and for years now my hair has been quite dry and frizzy. I've really struggled with finding a product that can tackle the frizz and hold the curls whilst not making my hair appear greasy. This is the only thing that has worked for me so far! I've only been using the gel for a month or so, and I'm still learning how best to use it for my hair, but I'm really loving the way my curls look with each wash. It's quite pricey but a little goes a long way, I can see it lasting me a good 4/5 months or so. Definitely worth a try!!

I have been on the curly girl method for over a year now, trying to figure out my thick, wavy, frizzy hair. Normally any curly product I’ve tried makes my hair heavy, crunchy and my waves are sad and puffy. I know this product has been in the market for a long time but somehow I thought it was only good for really tight coiled curls. Well. I now have big bouncy, shiny, frizz free, very defined curls and I’m never going back to anything else. I apply this after showering when my hair is really wet. It does feel crunchy and looks wet at first, but after gently diffusing, I crunch the crunch with a little oil and the crunchy and wet feeling go away.If you have hair similar to mine and you live in a humid place, then the one thing I learned is that you must avoid glycerin in all your products- read your labels!
