One of my favorite product to try is curl creams and stylers because it is always great to improve your current curly routine. I have type 3b/c curls and it is shoulder length. My biggest concern with my hair is frizz. I am aware that as long as I give my hair enough hydration and use a smoothing and defining styler, my hair will look great.

I had the opportunity to try this Curl Defining Cream with Argan Oil from Arvazallia and I was excited for two reasons; it claims to define the hair and it contains Argan oil. We (Curly girls/guys) know how amazing organ oil is for our hair.

First Impression:

The first time I touch the texture of the cream I had high expectations because it has a very creamy and light texture but my first time using it was a big (Dare I say HUGE) disappointment. I follow the directions on the label, step by step. But my hair had no definition, and it was super frizzy. I even use a diffuser which I try to avoid using because heat is not so healthy for the hair.

AFTER A FEW CHANGES:

The directions tell you to use the cream on damp or towel dried hair. This was my first mistake. When I use it on damp hair, the cream did felt nice but my hair look dull and with no shape even after crutching it a bit. However, we I use it with drenched wet hair, the cream did not only smooth out my hair, hydrated it, added shine but also what do you know it actually allow for clumping; giving more shape and definition to my hair.

Lesson: Sometimes you don't have to follow the directions to get the best results.

TIP:

If you find that the cream is not working for you, try changing you current conditioner. I was not using a very moisturizing conditioner the first few times, I use it so my hair ended up being hard to style. When I changed to a more moisturizing conditioner, styling become easier.

Also, if you would like a less frizz and more find look, try applying the cream on small sections.

LIKES:

• Light texture
• Pleasant scent
• It adds shine and softness to the hair
• It also add some definition to the hair
• It smooths out the hair
• It does not weight down your hair
• It gives volume
• It works well with other products
• It is Infused with Argan Oil and Vitamin E

DISLIKES:

 

• The bottle design, I wish you could get more product at once since you really have to use a significant amount for optimal results.
• You really have to use a lot so I don't know how long the bottle will last.
• It does not have or gives much hold so I will advise you to use a bit of gel or mousse if you like to have hold.
• If you have tighter curls ( 3c and up), I don't think you will like this cream. At least not by itself. It could work as a additional styler but not on its own.
