CURLSMITH - Hold Me Softly Style Balm - Vegan Soft Hold Styling Cream for Wavy and Curly Hair, Natural Look

Love this stuff for travel!!Good value for money, creates really pretty texture for my wavy curls. It’s not very greasy, has a light scent and not too greasy or heavy, I keep this one on me for my travel kit.

I love the way this stuff smells and feels in my hair! All my previous experience with leave-in products has totally weighed my hair down and made it sticky and/or knotted up, this one made my hair so soft and my curls are staying nice and hydrated.

Worked really well

MY GOODNESS. I have never had a curl cream that worked THIS well. I wish I had recorded my hair when applying this wet. This is a MIRACLE PRODUCT. For $27, I have a leave in, curl cream, pomade, edge control, and gel all in one. I have low porosity, fine strands, medium/high density 4b-c hair for reference. After rinsing out my deep conditioner (Melanin Haircare Plumping DC) in the shower, all I did was apply this product on my wet hair in the shower, and I brushed through the sections with my denman brush to distribute it. When I got out, I added a little more to my soaking wet hair and did twists all around. I used this product to lay my edges. No leave in conditioner added, not even gel for my edges. When I woke up, I took them out and they came out like this!!!! I have never had a product work THIS good in my hair. Even Prose that was formulated for my specific hair didnt do this! Even when my hair was soaking wet, I was SHOCKED upon application. I was seeing curls that I have never EVER seen in my head from my past 10 years of being natural. Since my BIG CHOP! I have never seen my hair do what it did. And when I finished undoing my twists, I literally used a little of the balm/styling cream to coil little frizzy pieces with my finger and THEY STAYED THERE— PUT! No shrinking back like any other gel would do. My edges STAYED laid from the night before. No flaky gel cast, no oily fingers but dry hair when i touch my hair… CurlSmith has found a lifelong customer in me. I can literally shampoo, condition, and then use 1 product to style! It was dry by the morning…no lco, no loc, i didnt even need to add oil. just this product. This is officially my new staple; I cannot live without it.I am now super excited to try more of their products!

This is the best curling product I have ever used. It makes my curls smooth with no frizz and lasts for about 4-5 days. Together with the soufflé, the best combo.

I have wavy hair and it doesn't do well with this product. My waves are still frizzy

I think a lot of the negative reviews come from people who don't understand the purpose of this product. Nowhere on the bottle does it say it is an anti-frizz product... because it isn't. This is a soft hold balm, and in general the softer the hold the more frizz you'll have. Though you will get a bit more frizz than with products with stronger holds, in exchange you receive hair that looks sooo effortless. I have 3A-3B hair, and I find that most products will give me those really shiny, crunchy ringlets which are just not my vibe at all. This balm defines my curls and gives them some shine without making it look like I'm wearing a wig. It's also very weightless! My least favorite thing about curl creams and gels is that they tend to make your hair look really weighed down and stiff, whereas the soft hold here makes my hair feel so light and bouncy, and it actually moves when the breeze hits it lol. Additionally, the softer hold means your hair will look fuller since it isn't being condensed into so many tight curls! If you want to embrace that ethereal natural mane look, this is the one for you! This formula is truly beautiful.

Use this product daily! Super easy and quick to apply. Love how it smells. And it leaves my hair so soft
