  • Smells EDIBLE
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Smells edible but please do not eat it 🤣🤣 I have 2c-3b curls and this also does a great job defining my curls and helping to reduce frizz ON top of making me smell like a walking dessert. My husband is obsessed with the smell. I've been on a curly girl journey and trying out different products. I only wash every 3-4 days so though this is a little more expensive in comparison to some curl creams it's scent and performance is well worth it for me! I'll probably stop trying out curl creams and stick with this one so long as they continue to produce it. ... show more

  • Bum
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this curl cream! It defines my curls beautifully without leaving my hair feeling stiff, crunchy, or weighed down. A little goes a long way, and it helps control frizz while keeping my curls soft, bouncy, and moisturized all day. The scent is amazing, and my hair feels smooth with a natural-looking finish instead of looking overloaded with product. Definitely a staple in my curl routine and I’ll keep repurchasing it. ... show more

  • 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

  • Love it!
Scent: Lemon Meringue Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product is highly satisfactory, as it offers excellent value for money and surpasses the performance of more expensive products I have previously used. It effectively leaves my hair exceptionally soft and defined. However, I would appreciate it if they offered a version with a larger container, exceeding 6 ounces. ... show more
