20 Best Curling Custard For 4C Hair (2023 Updated)

I love this cream for my hair- particularly my ends when I’m in-between washes. I use it primarily when I want to refresh my tresses and add some moisture where needed. After using a leave-in conditioner, and hair oil, I lock everything in with this curl custard.

A little goes a long way, I spread it on my hair hair, brush it through and then wrap my hair with a silk scarf for the night. In the morning my hair is hydrated, my ends are sealed and bone straight like I like it! I have used it when twisting or braiding my hair in the summer, and it keeps my style frizz free for days.

I only use more on my twists if I spray so water for extra hydration and then seal them with a little more of this curl custard. No residue and no crazy build up or flakes. Fantastic product, it lasts me about 3-5 months with weekly use!.

I can imagine if your hair is curlier and you like the scent, this would be an excellent finishing product for curl definition. However, if you are like me and have anything under 3c hair, and are scent sensitive, this product will be too thick and sticky with too strong of a scent.

I bought it thinking I could use it to define tips and maybe gain volume at the root, and the scent of the sample container at the store was quite faded. But I personally found it hard to work with, too thick and heavy, and the scent made my stomach uneasy.

But again, if you are 3C or above and not fussed about scent, this could be great for you. FOR SCENT SENSITIVE PEOPLE: I would describe the scent as overly sweet vanilla with a pretty strong powdery undertone – all chemical smelling, quite strong, and lasting.

This is a great product, but this not the traditional curl custard that those with afro hair will be familiar with, it is more of styling gel. I loved it because of the texture and flax seed. It worked best for me (afro 4c) hair when my hair was wet and and section my hair and pulled it through my hair.

I tried using as a daily product with a water spray bottle. I got good results, but after a few days my hair was really dry. I would you suggest using the leave conditioner and then applying this product.

I am going to keep with the brand. Great to see Space NK stocking hair brands that are inclusive.

Summary: You might like this if you have wavy hair, are frizz prone, or don’t need hold for your hair, and if you’re not sensitive to smell. A friend of mine let me try this while she was visiting. It was.

just OK. More for wavy hair than curly, or if frizz you don’t need hold imo. It was really nice for taming frizz, making the hair soft and shiny. My hair is very curly but very fine so I appreciated the frizz control, but idk if it really defines, my hair doesn’thave that issue.

It DEFINITELY didn’t provide hold though, since the next day my hair was not nearly as defined (my hair is very fine but I have a lot of it so hold is important). It pretty much looked the same as it would have if I hadn’t put anything in it at all, just a not as frizzy.

Overall my hair remained soft and smooth for a few days after with little effort and never felt heavy, weighed down. My main problem is with the smell tho. I have a REALLY sensitive nose, and for me the smell was STRONG and very cologne like, which isn’t my favorite.

I could smell it all day from application and all day the next day.

I love this styling custard!! It makes my hair (3c-4b, med-high density, medium strands) moisturized and defined! And it also gave it great shine. My hair is normally frizzy. It literally does not show its curl pattern without some product (whether it be shampoo, conditioner, etc.

) it is also prone to tangles which this custard helped with tremendously! The slip was INSANE. My twist out came out bouncy, shiny, and defined. It doesn’t take a lot of product either. Was able to get through a fourth of my head with just the product on the lid.

Also, NO FLAKES!! I cannot wait to try more from the brand. So far I love the leave in and styling cream, now this custard!! As a final note, idk how this will hold up for a wash n go, but I’m excited to try once I get a haircut.

It works, but it most definitely makes your hair crunchy. I’ve had relaxers all my life so my hair never had a chance to have kink and curls. 💯 As I was going through the transitioning stage my hair was basically an Afro just poofy, most of my curls were hidden in the MIDDLE of my scalp.

➰ Once I used this, it helped the hair around my head edges to begin producing curls. NICE PRODUCT FOR CHEAP, JUST NOT LIKING HOW HARD MY HAIR GETS. ✨.

One of my favorite custards! This gives me bomb twistouts that are always moisturized, shiny, and defined! I keep this in my stash and always love the results. It is also multipurpose and great for slicking your hair/edges!.

I have to admit this is by far the best product I’ve tried when I’m trying to achieve more hold for my curls. The texture is very gel-like but it applies on so smooth. My hair feels very soft afterwards and there’s no sign of crunchiness.

A little too thick for my liking, but PERFECT for thicker hair. A little on the pricey side, but for perfect for that thick moisture. Not suitable for looser curls, but will make twist outs last! Wish there was a line rather than making all curl types equal.

I love how my hair feels with this product. Smell is also important for me and I like that the scent is very pleasant. I was jumping in and out of pools and lakes while on vacation and my hair still stayed soft moisturized in the sun.

Definitely recommend!.

I found a jar of this at Marshall’s for a discounted price and decided to try it. I have wavy, waist length hair and found this has minimal curling capabilities for me. It’s better than using nothing, but not as good as other products I’ve tried.

It also doesn’t hold a curl as long as I would like. It smells great, though! I also rated it slightly higher because my son’s been using it for a couple months now on his shoulder length hair and it helps give his pretty straight hair a decent amount of curl, so I added an extra star for that, as I would’ve rated it 3/5 for myself.

Not sure I’d recommend paying full price but if you can find a jar at Marshall’s like I did, I say pick one up!.

I’d really like to know why Revlon have only a limited release of these products I’ve called all over and can’t get it anywhere. Does wonders with natural curly hair and the moisturizer can not be beat!! The retail price was around 7 to 8 dollars but I have to pay what ever you ask if I want it badly enough.

So here we are!! Glad to have it. I guess the rest of the profit was eaten up in shipping costs. Still a very happy customer and I will buy again!! Thanks, Lynne.

I have dry frizzy hair than tangles easily. I was hoping this would help out alot, it didn’t. The scent is amazing, maybe I just need to trim off some inches, then try this again. It worked and felt great on my non damaged hair! I’ll try it again.

I think this is a great hair product! First up it’s very affordable and you get a decent amount of product. After applying to damp hair I find that when my hair dries my hair feels incredibly softer.

It does not have much hold to really keep curls in place so it may need to be used with other products. However I really still like it and will continue using.

It is a great product to define my curls, and it smells delicious. Compared to other alternatives, it is a little bit thicker and heavy so, it can be messy if used too much. It can be improved by making the product less heavy, or maybe it is for a different type of hair.

It lasts until you wash your hair again. It is a great product but I wouldn’t buy it again, for my hair, I need a product less ticker.

I came by this product by chance. I’m So Happy I tried Curly Chic Curl Cream!! I’m Overjoyed By This Product!! From The First Application, I Knew, I’d Finally Found My Perfect Hair Care Product!! It’s So Easy To Work With.

I’m Buying This Product For Numerous Friends and Family Members, for gifts! They Want The Magic Product, that made my hair go from frizzy to being healthy hair.

This has been a staple in my collection for the last couple of years. I used this for ponytails instead of gel and it worked very well. Idk if it is me or if the ingredients have changed but I feel like the product is different from the last time I used it.

It used to be really thick and seems to be less thick than before. I still would try it but this review is based off of previous experience.

Surprisingly I wasn’t a fan of this creme. I say surprisingly because I normally love creme of natures products for my curls. I just thought the creme itself was way too heavy and oily. It worked pretty well just way too much build to it if that makes sense.

This product is very good ! 10/10 recommended. It’s very good for keeping you hair moisturize and it also still gives your hair curls. Mainly it gives your hair the ingredients to benefit the needs to your hair ! [brand:cream-of-nature].

I recently purchased this item for styling my hair in bantu knot outs which is my “go-to” transitioning style. I’m about 9 mos post relaxer and I’m transitioning to natural. Not sure but I may have 3C-4A hair type.

I really like this product. The consistency is more like a creamy jelly to me. The smell is nice but can be a bit overwhelming which is why I gave it 4 stars. Overall, I did not have any build up or white flakes.

It gave my style a great hold but still soft. I really like to results. FYI, I also used the this line’s style and shine foaming mousse which I applied before letting my hair dry and installing the twisted bantu knots.

BEST CURL BUTTER EVER. I have mixed hair textures as is common for multiethnical people like me. Finding something that works is rare. For a while I used Garnier nutrisse smooth something ( been a long time) and found this by mistake.

It makes my curls UNIFORM and gives them bounce and shine like nothing before. I like to use it after towel drying for best effect. Its not heavy and a little goes a long way. Highly recommend!!!!.

I absolutely love this product! I have naturally curly, frizzy hair and have tried many, many products trying to find one that works for me. This is it!

I’ve been using dye in my hair for over 10 years and black dye for the past 4 of those years and it has left my hair extremely damaged. After using this my hair feels so much healthier! I wouldn’t recommend using more than a dime size amount otherwise your hair will be more on the oily side.

Overall I would recommend this product for dry, frizzy, and damaged hair!.

I have been a user of this product for a long time. I tried many serums like John Freida, TRESemme and many more and I have never been completely satisfied. My hair is a little thin and frizzy, but it gets curly, curly and damp in medium to high humidity and I live in Florida, so humidity is always a problem.

I have used serum and I do not like the oiliness that it leaves on my hair. My hair starts to get oily on day 5 and the serums make my natural oils come out faster. I also tried conditioners without rinsing and did not affect the hair.

The Pantene Curl Cream leaves my hair soft and slippery. I like it to be soft for my hair and still be able to get some volume, although I prefer not to have a lot of volume. My hair does not oily quickly, which is an advantage.

I also love that it is soft for hair treated with colors, and I usually have a bright brown color and I have not seen the color fade quickly with this product. I love this product and it takes a long time and I will continue using it.

I was looking to try different styling products for my wash and gos. (4a Natural hair) This product came up in my walmart search the price is good enough for me so I bought it (with another styling cream).

It was “okay” when I used it to style my wash go (added olive oil eco styler gel on top of it). It came out moisturized and shiny. But I now use it to keep my ends moisturized during the week. When you already have gel in your hair, then you add a product on top of that, many times it will create tiny little bits in the hair from the cream and gel mixing, but this curl custard does not do that.

It doesn’t create any white residue from the gel that was already in my hair. My only issue with this product is the smell is too strong. It should be cut back like 50%. Other than that, this product will be a staple in my regiment.

I love this defining curl custard. I have a couple different textures to my low porosity hair and I have a hard time keeping it moisturized. I use this custard for twist outs. The shine and hold are beautiful.

I haven’t experienced the white flaking or build up as I have read from others. My hair is soft to the touch and no filmy feeling. I love the price and quality compared to other curly girl custards and creams.

Thanks Pantene.

the smell is AMAZING. i bought this to manage my sons super thin baby curls and i applied it at night and he woke up with STRAIGHT HAIR! this is the only thing we did differently. it was definitely weird seeing my baby with straight hair.

i don’t think we will ever use this again for his hair but it does smell great!.

One of my favorite products from this line. Very hydrating and smells good – but all these products smell good. My son doesn’t even complain that it says Baby Girl he likes the way it makes his hair look and not dry out.

He’s a professional dancer so he sweats ALOT and mid way through rehearsals his hair is a curly mop that lost all shape and style. This keeps it moisturized and stays mostly in tact after a grueling day.

It smells amazing but after a while in a child head. Not so much. Provides a nice curls while hair is wet for better results. Wouldnt recommend for rougher Hair types. Mainly biracial or curlier hair types.

5***** product!!! I love it!!! After looking for reviews on the best hair curl defining product, this one came up top in my price range, so I gave it a try and its fab!! The key is to make sure your hair is wet through every strand, but not sopping wet or it will take hours to dry!! I found running fingers through hair whilst wet, letting dry naturally until a bit crispy! And then blow drying hot, preferably with diffuser and lightly scrunchin to soften the curls so it doesn’t look like you have product on, just drying very quickly not messing too much with hair and voila, the perfect spiral curls.

It has a lovely coconut smell and unlike other mousses etc it hasn’t left me with sore scalp or rash on my back even after a whole week of wearing. It lasts a long time too, I highly recommend this product! Also recommend look fantastic as it was delivered very fast to me and packaged well, thankyou for an excellent service!.

I have 2c hair and thought this would be too heavy for it, but a little bit goes a long way. Took a while to figure out how to make it work, but I scrunch it in after gel and it really helps define my curls and keeps them frizz free! Smells lovely too and protein free which is great as my hair can be very picky about that.

beauty expert is the only place i can get this wonderful product. it is great used on curly hair as a finishing product to define/shine curls (not as recommended on pot). it leaves hair soft & doesnt dry hair out like many gels do.

this is like a runny gel consistency. i buy & buy this again from beauty expert. best used rubbed between palms then “scrunch” into curls to leave beautifully shiny defined curls.

I haven’t yet figured out how to make this work well for my hair (3B-C/4A low porosity medium length) but it does wonders for my teenage son’s hair which is shorter. This is the only styling product he will use now! We just spritz with water then apply this and brush.

He gets beautiful curls that are shiny but not sticky and no crunch! His hair still looks great at the end of the evening, which we’ve never seen with any other product. He is usually very sensitive to smells but this one is mild enough that it doesn’t bother him.

Probably the biggest plus with this product is that it’s the ONLY styler we’ve tried that he can use every day throughout the week without getting itchy scalp! It’s amazing this product is so light but still gives great hold, and for him it’s the only product we need.

Finally, a one and done – no more layering multiple products!.

I ordered this product specifically for a photo shoot the week of January 17th. I bought this product a few years ago, and I LOVED it. I thought wouldn’t it be great to get this product again for my natural gray hair so that my curls will pop! So, I placed an order and I received the wrong product (which I can’t use) along with the wrong shipping invoice.

I called customer service for 4 days–straight to voicemail. I left a message each time. No response. I know we are in a pandemic. I reached out to PayPal to start the refund process. Later that day, I received a nice email from customer service confirming the correct product will be sent to me–that was early February.

Yesterday, I received my product, y’all! FINALLY. I’m excited to use my forming custard, but I noticed my jar doesn’t look like the above picture. My product is a white gel, not honey-color like the display picture or the one I used a few years ago.

It did form some curls but I notice a difference with the product. Would I re-order? No, the whole experience and product was disappointing. Do better Design Essentials!!.

I’ve tried a TON of products when it comes to curly styling and this one blows them all away. The devacurl super cream was never enough hold for me. I would say this has buildable hold. I use it right out of the shower, like the size of a quarter for my whole head, and then I’ll scrunch it and air dry or diffuse.

My hair always looks super defined! If you use too much you will notice stiffness but if you trace the curls with your fingers you can remove the cast. Once it’s about 80% dry I’ll take a pick and lift the hair all around to get some controlled volume.

I can usually go at least 2 days without having to refresh the style or wash it. Bonus points for doubling the size!! Lasted me a year when I had the smaller one.
