Not for me
I want to preface this review by saying I LOVE crown affair but this product was not for me. While it did leave my hair soft when used alongside the leave in, it didn’t help structure my curls at all. My hair ended up drying very frizzy and without shape. I ended up returning it after using it like 3 times.

This cream smells good but I found it made my hair feel dry and crunchy. If anything, it actually made my hair feel more frizzy. Returned it after trying it a few times and not liking the results

Amazing product!
I have naturally wavy/curly hair (2b/2c and bleached - so dry, as well) and this is amazing for air drying! So hydrating and just awesome. I also use it on days I blow dry/blowout my hair and then style with a curling iron or flat iron for more polished waves. Wow! It’s better than any “blow out” product I’ve ever used. True multitasker!

I have thick frizzy hair. I’ve tried a lot of products- including Crown Affairs air dry foam, and it’s great tbh, BUT THIS CREAM. Can’t recommend it enough. I moisten my hair and apply a dime size amount, rub it in my hands and scrunch it in. I LOVE THIS STUFF.

Pure Luxury
I just love everything from Crown Affair! The smells it’s just pure luxury! My hair feels clean and fresh. The styling cream gives my curls some definition, like I have beach waves.

Better than the hype
Monumentally better than the JVN air dry cream. Less frizz. More definition. More curl activation.

One of the best lightweight creams!
On a certified Crown Affair lover, and this product reinforces my brand loyalty! Very easy to use in a super lightweight styling cream. I think this is one of the best on the market for folks with course thick hair.
