  • Great product!!!!
This product is the best!!!! I have natural curls, and this gel custard takes my curls to the next level. I get so many compliments that I keep a picture of the product on my phone. Curls are soft, no flaking at all!

  • Soft shiny hair
Gives my natural hair and shine. It's soft also. Would recommend the full line

  • Best I've found
I have extremely curly long hair, and while I use multiple products to keep it naturally curly, nothing I've found keeps the curl from frizzing out or going flat after one day. This keeps my hair soft (not crunchy), but enables me to keep the curls formed for up to 3-4 days with light water spritz each morning without washing my hair and starting the styling process over. Excellent! and smells good too. ... show more

  • A beautifully soft hold - not stiff, no flaking, not hard or crunchy
This curl forming custard is good for my curls AND good for twists. I applied a moderate amount after washing and conditioning and loved the level of curl I got. I also used it for a twist-out and loved the definition in my twists. They lasted longer in humidity as well - bonus!

  • Hair gel custard, moisturizing strong hold
Very thick I used too much the forst timeand hair wouldn't dry. I would put hair oil or leave in conditioner on first then work a little custard into hair then scrunch up your curls. Scent is nice clean floral not strong.

  • Leaves my hair beautifully curly. No scalp itch.
I have tried several products because my hair is sort of curly and they make it look good but all of the other ones have made my scalp itch. This is the first one that does not make my scalp itch yet gives beautiful shiny curls that last all day. I am African-American with short grey hair with lovely curls. ... show more
