To start, you need to know that I have curly frizzy dry hair. I went natural about 5 years ago and "Big Chopped" then.

I first tried this product when my hair was very short, everybody was raving about this product and I decided to buy a sample with the Curl Keeper. I tried the products and, to my dismay, was not happy with the results,

it was just sitting on my hair and did not do much. Fast forward to last weekend I bought teh styling cream. I deep conditioned my hair overnight, with a regular condiitoner, and I used the styling cream. I had wet hair, used a quarter size amount and distributed it through my hair, I then took about half the size of the styling cream and mixed it with the Original Curl Keeper and just smoothed the mix throughout my hair, keep in mind that your hair will be white from the mix, rest assured, it will dry clear.

My hair was left soft, my curls were defined and shiny, somehing that is hard for me to achieve with a creamy product, my curls were somewhat elongated and bouncy. My boyfriend even commented on how my hair looked .

The true test was the next day. Since this is a water based product, the next day, I just used a spray bottle to mist my hair, let it sit for about 5 min then shake ,shake, shake, my hair was ready for the day.
No sticky feeling, no residue and no flakes!

I am now sold on this product and will keep on using it. It is a bit pricey but it does the job well.. It deserves 5 stars.
