  • 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

  • YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE CAST 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

Definitely a good product for frizz control and it smells sooo good, but it wasn’t very good for hair that is half wavy and half straight.

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.
