Of the three products...
Of the three products I received for the Kristen Ess curl collection, this one was my favorite. It states on the bottle it is for medium to course curl types, but I would consider my curl type light/fine, even so I still liked this product. After shampoo and conditioner while hair is still damp, I s...

I was absolutely...
I was absolutely shocked when I first used this product in my naturally curly hair, the spray doesn't have the same texture that any curl leave in conditioner product has, the leave in conditioner almost felt similar to hair spray, if hair spray was watered down and mixed with a dab of real leave in...

Unbearable smell
I tried to give it a proper chanve but the smell i kid you not is something of a chemical that you should definitely not be putting in your hair, almoast alcohol-like. It was so bad in a way ive never experienced before if i felt like it might be hazardous to my hair. I would think twice about getting this.

I love this! Not sure why some reviews say it smells like a man. I disagree with that. I just started using this & now use it everyday!

Everlasting Smell like a man
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I bought this in December 2024 and just finally got a chance to use it. After several hours we got in the car to go to my sons house. My husband asked what kind of perfume I was wearing because I smelled like I used the worst Mans cologne on the market it made him nauseous. I thought it was just me getting nauseated by the smell until he told me my hair stinks. Getting to my sons house he was 5 feet from me and asked what that gross smell was so I replied I used Kristen Ess Ultra Hydrating Curl Leave-In Cream Conditioner Item 2579399. Even my son the smell was disgusting and smelled like a stinky man. Did I get an old batch or does this stuff just stink. It is absolutely Unusable and disgusting, yet theres no place to click to return it on the online order I placed. No I do NOT recommend this product at all!! Wish there was negative stars given.
Smells divine, great as a curl refresher
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I absolutely love the smell of the curl care line. I use this as a curl refresher and it works great for that purpose. I just can't let any of the Kristin Ess products touch my scalp because it gets extremely itchy.
I would buy this product again
