Anyone who has curly hair can attest to the myriad of products one tries to use in finding the correct combinations that will work for their hair. The Curly Hair care line of B&B is definitely one of the best curl care lines out there! I will take a break from it sometimes, mistakenly thinking the...

This is advertised as a Light Curl Creme, not so much, well for my hair anyways. It does not control frizz, scent is 50/50 and without a base leave in conditioner, it will dry your hair out (I've tried both ways). I have used anywhere from a nickel to a pea sized amount, with and without adding water to thin it more on damp to wet hair, no matter which way it's done, the results are the same, greasy, weighed down, knotted mess. Keep in mind, I brush my hair, I don't do the raking, sectioning, turning head upside down and all that. Always air dry but in my multiple attempts with this curl creme, I did use a diffuser to see if it helped any...it did NOT btw. I have fine, 3B, low density, medium porosity hair, it is always shiny, ringlet curls, soft and never knotted (unless it's windy as heck outside, then that's a different story) and I wash it EVERY SINGLE DAY, sometimes twice a day. I am honestly unsure how BB has so many positive reviews, I have tried a few of their products and they've all been subpar BUT we all have different hair types. Like some people can use drugstore products and have great results (their super lucky and totally envied), others can not, myself being one of them. I'd love to spend less than 20 on a shampoo vs 50 🤣 🤦♀️
Great for wavy hair
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I have 2A-2B wavy hair. My waves stay put, though I do get some fizz. I cannot wash my hair daily (it would be brittle and break too easily) and the next day the product does not feel too great on my fingertips, so I usually end up with a braid or pony. The scent is nice, and I do not notice it once it dries, not offensive like other comments mentioned. I would like for BB to have more products for us wavy girls.
Favorite curly hair product
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I apply this product after I wash my hair and follow up with my diffuser which helps create my bouncy and healthy curls.
Never go wrong with B&B
