  • Smells great & works really well
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great product. It smells really good and actually works. It helps define curls, controls frizz, and keeps hair feeling soft and moisturized without making it heavy or sticky. Easy to use and gives consistent results. lasts for months too

  • YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE CAST
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This curl cream is wonderful. The smell isn’t overwhelming and it’s similar to GS Lemonade cookies. Let me address the “crunchy” comments. If you’re a curly girl, you need to learn how to use creams and gels that make your hair feel crispy or crunchy. Section your hair into 4 pieces, apply the cream, comb through with a wide tooth comb, and diffuse on low heat/fan. After your curls dry, BREAK THE CAST by flipping your hair to the side or upside down and clap your hair gently between your hands. Et voila. The crunch is gone and your curls remain intact. ... show more

  • Love it!
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am absolutely in LOVE with Cake Beauty's The Curl Friend Defining Curl Cream! As someone with curly hair, I've tried countless products, and this one truly stands out. It's like a drink of water for my curls - it provides amazing moisture and definition without weighing my hair down or making it crunchy. Here's what I love: Frizz Control: This cream is a frizz fighter! It smooths my curls and keeps them looking polished all day long, even in humidity. Definition and Bounce: My curls have never looked better. They are defined, bouncy, and full of life. Lightweight Feel: Unlike some curl creams that feel heavy and greasy, this one is lightweight and doesn't make my hair feel weighed down. Amazing Scent: The scent is delicious! It's sweet and subtle, and it leaves my hair smelling fantastic. Good Ingredients: I appreciate that Cake Beauty uses good-for-your-hair ingredients and avoids harsh chemicals. A little goes a long way, so this product lasts a while. If you're looking for a curl cream that will enhance your natural curls, provide moisture, and control frizz, I highly recommend giving Cake Beauty The Curl Friend a try. It's a game-changer! ... show more

  • Read below
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It smells beautiful, it was smooth and made my hair feel so soft, honestly it helped with the gel casting, one reason it didn't get 5 stars was because the front peices seemed a little weighed down, i didn't do a hair routine with it alone but it seemed to work well, the volume helped a lot too because my hair usually doesn't curl at roots and kind of looks like irish curls and this looks better, in the second photo you can see what i mean by the weighing down was a little bad but i do have a looser curl pattern on the top of my head so i could just be tweaking, but this smells devine and i cant wait to keep using it ... show more

  • Really good!
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The effectiveness of this item really shows! This product helped shape my curls how I wanted them too, it gave my hair more volume than it usually does, and it made my hair very soft, more than it usually is. My hair is about shoulder length and a mix between 3C and 4A and this helps my hair a lot. It doesn’t make my scalp dry, or make my head itchy. It last all day! The scent also smells really good, it smells like cake! ... show more

  • Smells great! But too weak of hold
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Smells wonderful! But I was looking for a stronger hold. It did not keep my curls defined. I ended up buying gel instead

  • This lightweight curl cream is great for dry ends --hair feels soooo soft!
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I saw this line demo'd on tiktok and thought I'd try it. Why not? I've tried SO MANY products for my curly/wavy, fine-but-thick crazy hair. Most either leave my hair so sticky and greasy I can't stand it, or they do practically nothing for my curls. I was SHOCKED at not only how great their products make my curls look (and last for days) but how my hair still feels clean and soft like I just washed it. The best my curls have ever looked. My routine: a dab of the Cake curl cream on mids and ends for an extra bit of moisture (my hair is color-treated and highlighted); 6 pumps of this scrunched into mids and ends, and a big old handful of the Cake mousse on my roots. I use a LOT on my long hair and it never feels sticky, greasy, heavy, etc. My hair just feels soft and clean. This stuff is magical!!! ... show more

  • Holy Grail for unruly curls!
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried so many curly hair creams, but this one seriously stands out. The first thing I noticed was the scent—it smells absolutely amazing. Not too strong, but fresh and clean with a touch of sweetness that lingers throughout the day. I’ve gotten compliments on the smell alone! The real magic, though, is in the curl definition. My curls popped right after applying, with zero crunch and no frizz in sight. It gives that “just left the salon” look—bouncy, moisturized, and super defined. Even better, the hold lasts all day (and honestly into the next). No reapplying, no refreshing needed. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t weigh your hair down at all. Whether I let my curls air-dry or diffuse them, they always turn out soft, shiny, and super defined. Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their curl game. This cream is a keeper! ... show more
