Superb product for curly hair--I got lovely third day hair with it and other CJ products,

This not only smells wonderful, it WORKS wonderfully. I had used many curl defining/enhancing products, including highly-rated, good ones like Curl Keepper and Rocking Curls/Confident Coils by Jessicurl. This knocks them out of the curly-girl water.
It leaves NO funny smell (Curl Keeper smells like old lipstick and JC has unfortunate scents in her line). Leaves no unappealing crunch. It just gives curls a nice definition. I found it helped my curls clump and stay formed, though they were more relaxed than with Curl Keeper and JC. I'm fine with a less coiled up (shortened) curl as long as it stays smooth, soft, clumped and defined. I get that with this--along with a lovely scent. I also have the confidence that the CJ line gives me a lot of high quality products, and mostly natural, too.
BTW, I used it with a bit of ArcAngel (as I always use some gel with any curl definer/enhancer). I've heard from some gals that they can use this without gel. I might experiment...Read more

A decent product but I don't think it's amazing,

I have naturally curly, long hair and I wanted to try a silicone free styling product. This stuff smells wonderful! It does help to give me control and define my curls & waves, but it doesn't do much for frizz on me. It also doesn't seem to make my hair any curlier. I'm definitely going to use it up, but I won't buy it again because I can find products that do the same thing or better at a cheaper price. If I ever go completely "CG" then I probably WOULD keep buying this because it does a decent job and doesn't contain silicones.

My daughter loves this stuff. We use it as a styling serum (after a lot of leave in as she has thick curly hair that's very dry) and as a second, third, and fourth day "pick me up" to smooth out frizzies and get her hair to behave.
The scent is pleasing and the consistency is like liquidy gel. You don't need a ton but if you're using it while your hair is wet make sure you use enough. For dry second and beyond day hair you need only 2 quarters worth for mid back length hair. This does not give you the hard crunch that gels normally do and once you scrunch it a bit your hair is soft and frizz free - Super!
Highly recommended to curly heads all over! It has water soluble silicones in it so you don't need harsh detergent shampoo's to get it out. We also did not find any build up problems or flaking problems like you can get with gel. Recommended!
