Good Product
I didn't always have curly/wavy hair, but after having surgery the anesthesia literally curled my hair! It hasn't gone away and was totally unmanageable until I found this product. I put it on right after washing my hair (with very little towel drying) and then let my hair air dry. Once dry I brush through it or use my fingers to fluff it up a bit.

Slightly heavy on my wavy hair
Curlsmith Awestruck Definition Cream is a pleasant medium hold and medium thickness (not too thin or thick) gel lotion cream that makes my wavy hair feel soft and conditioned.
I’m new to definition creams so yes on my wavy, medium thickness hair, it did feel slightly heavy with product build up after two consecutive uses. I think it is probably meant to be used with a clarifying shampoo of some kind. The product says “for all curl types” so maybe I just haven’t found the right routine for it yet as a novice since it did feel nice on first use. Perhaps this is a cream to be used with a break in between.
The scent is like a fruity citrus scent similar to something between peach and mango with some florals. It’s nice that it’s not an ultra strong scent. Though I am picky with my scents and wish this one would be slightly less fruity sweet and more floral clean.

This curl crème is awesome. It molds my curls so perfectly and effortlessly that I love it. It also is pretty nourishing so it gives my hair health after a shower. I think this stuff will also last a long time.

I have wavy hair that I have been trying to train better because I honestly never took that great care of it. I’ve heard such great things about curlsmith so I had to try it out for myself! I love that it has protection from UV and I love that it doesn’t leave my hair hard it leaves it smooth with waves and it looks so good!

Perfect addition!
I love this curlsmith definition cream because it gives me definition without making my hair feel weighed down. My curls stayed soft all day long, had less frizz, and still had some hold without feeling crunchy. I also noticed I didn’t need to use as much gel as I normally do. I followed the instructions on the container and it worked really well for me.

Frizz free
This curl cream really helped define my curls and keep them frizz free even in high humidity. I love that it has avocado oil and hyaluronic acid to keep my hair hydrated. I used this when my hair was wet instead of gel and it has a strong but soft hold.

I love how this cream defines my curls while still keeping them soft and bouncy. It helps control frizz and gives me a nice, flexible hold without leaving my hair crunchy, sticky, or weighed down. My curls look smoother and more defined, and the style holds up beautifully throughout the day. A little product goes a long way too!

Bouncy, Soft Curls
This cream is so incredibly lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy at all. I apply the cream to my wet hair and comb it through to make sure every strand is evenly coated. Whether I let my hair air dry, or use a diffuser, it performs beautifully either way. My curls come out defined, bouncy, and soft every time. The cream provides a medium hold, which keeps my curls in place without making them feel stiff or causing them to fall flat. Best of all, it's the first curl cream I've tried that doesn't leave my hair frizzy. Overall, this is an excellent nourishing curl cream that provides definition, soft hold, and frizz control while keeping my curls healthy and hydrated.

I love Curlsmith products in general for my wavy-curly hair. The very front of my hair is fine-medium and the rest is coarse. This looks great on the coarse hair, enhancing my curls and not weighing down my hair. On my wavy hair, this looks a little on the stringy side and I don't notice any real improvement aside from lessened frizz, which is noticeable overall. The scent is not my favorite but not bad either. There are other Curlsmith products that work better for my specific hair needs so I will try this a few more times with different products, and hope I have better luck.
