Features
- Well-Defined Frizz-Free Curls: Curl Keeper Original Liquid Styler provides ultimate frizz control without residue. Your curls will last several days in all weather conditions, especially humidity. For all curl types. 8oz bottle.
- Water-Based Formula: Our lightweight and water-based formula can be used daily without product buildup. Your curly hairstyle will last for days, as this unique pH-balanced product re-activates with water for easy resetting.
- High-Quality Ingredients: This liquid styler is cruelty-free, silicone-free, and vegan.
- Directions: Use on wet hair. Apply generously from roots to ends with hands or a brush. Start scrunching hair (about 30 scrunches) for maximum definition. Diffuse or air dry and scrunch out the crunch for soft, bouncy curls. For extra frizzy hair, use additional product. To reactivate for next day styling, simply spray hair with water, gently scrunch curls, and let dry.

I saw an ad for this on social media and wanted to believe it was possible—a curl product that didn’t leave my hair crunchy and didn’t fall out after a day. I bought this on faith and even trusted the water refresher to work, and I was so impressed. It works amazing. My hair wants to be curly but can’t without product or heat, and this works so well at defining my curls, keeping them curly, keeping them soft and lightweight for several days. The water refresh works awesome, and I definitely recommend.

This stuff is amazing. I've tried and tried to find a better-priced alternative that I can get locally, but I haven't found its equal--even in professional beauty supply stores. I've been using it for years, so the price increase (it's doubled in price in the past few years) has been a difficult pill to swallow. I will keep searching for a replacement. For specifics about why I like it: it keeps my hair from frizzing and holds my curl pattern while it dries. It's crunchy until it's fully dry, then I can break the cast and the crunchiness is gone, leaving natrual-looking curls. Sometimes it seems like it's less effective at keeping the curls intact, so I use a clarifying shampoo from time to time to prevent buildup. I also love the original scent--if it was stronger, I would worry about chemicals that damage hair, but it's subtle enough to alleviate that concern.

This is the ultimate the bomb dot com product!!!! I've seen many people on YouTube trying this product out. Which I found after I seen it here on Amazon first. I really like to do my homework per say when I find something that intrigues me or looks to be an ideal product for my particular needs. Now with that being said , I've also noticed many people misrepresenting the product calling it a hair gel. It is called The Original.. It is a very good product with a very light sort of hold but not a sticky residue gel feel or really gel results. It's very thin in consistancy. I personally have to use a hair gel or hair cream with this product because I need more hold. The Curly hair Solutions Curl Keeper Original is for frizz control trust me it definitely works for anyome who is looking to have Beautiful, Amazing,frizz free head of hair. FOR DAYS!! This product is the real deal. It isn't counterfeit as I've seen some other reviews saying that it isn't real. It is 100% REAL!! It is a water based product. Which allows you to reactivate next day hair with just some spritz of water from your favorite water bottle a little bit of scrunching or whatever way works best for you & your personal hair style then like magic, WALLAH!! A beautiful shiny fizz free bouncy curly head of hair!! Oh yeah & it will NOT I repeat NOT leave you with crunchy or ramon noodle curls. Nope nada it will leave you with a head of soft bouncy shiny beautiful curls that everyone will want to put their hands in. ( I know trust me, it's certainly a nice compliment. Yet can become a bit overwhelming, like hands to yourself folks) Lol. This product Hasnt let me down since the very first time I've used it. A matter of fact I am a product junkie. I have so many hair products & I've purchased this one more than once. I have not purchased something more than once in years & i am 47 years young. Lol!!! Give it a try, I am sure you will be as happy as I've been!!! Tha mks for reading my review..

I have only used this two times now but I am impressed! I have fine blonde highlighted naturally curly hair- and this serum leaves my hair so soft with perfect curls! I re-wet the next day, and again perfect curls. This is a great product and time saver!!

Lost a quarter of the product because it was not packaged appropriately. The pump was not in the “locked” position, and there was no tape or plastic covering the top to prevent leaks.

I’m officially on my second bottle of Original Curl Keeper, and that alone says a lot. Even though I have naturally straight hair, this product gives me amazing body and soft curls with just a little scrunching. It gives my hair exactly what I want—light, defined, and touchable without any of that sticky or crunchy feeling you get from so many other products. I love how it keeps everything looking natural while still holding shape. Best of all, it doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave it feeling greasy. My hair feels bouncy, soft, and full of life. Definitely a staple in my routine now—highly recommend if you want effortless volume and curl without the heaviness.

I have been using CHS Curl Keeper for several years. My hair is Type 2 A/B on top and 3A on the rest. The individual hairs are fine, but I have a LOT of it, and it turned white when I was a teenager so it is color treated. I use CK as part of a cocktail including a hard hold gel and a curl activator. What makes it different is that it is not a fussy product - I cannot use too much of it. It never flakes and all I have to do to eliminate the crunchy cast is scrunch it out, then my hair is soft, defined, shiny (without looking wet) and frizz-free. It has also never made my scalp itch..lots of other products do. The only thing I could criticize is that it has the potential to be ever so slightly drying, however, this isn’t a problem with proper conditioning beforehand and if needed, a leave-in conditioner. This is not a gel that’s meant to provide hold - it has none. It has a watery consistency (like KY lube-also a dupe for this gel) and can be used alone or as a companion to gel and curl cream. It plays nicely with any other product you throw into the mix. It is not heavy, greasy, sticky or producty - once dry, you cannot feel it in your hair. I swear by this product and would go so far as calling it holy grail. I have tried MANY other things over the years but have failed to find anything that keeps the shrub on my head under control. What’s more is that it is designed for ALL curl types, 2-4...and it’s silicone free so it is Curly Girl Method approved.
