Hit and miss
So I do really, really like this product. It gives my curls definition without the awful crunch of gel. The problem is the product is inconsistent. I think it might have to do with age. So the first time I used this it was perfect. Worked easily into my hair, no visible residue. I was in love. The second bottle was just as good. The third bottle produced little tiny globs of white stuff that would not incorporate into my hair. I ended up meticulously picking the globs out. This happened periodically throughout the whole bottle. The fourth bottle was ok with no issues, but this fifth bottle has the same globbing problem. Again, the only thing I can think of is age of the product. Ultimately, I will continue to use this because, frankly, it's fantastic. I think I will start purchasing it from the salon though. Little bit more money, but at least I know I can return it if there is an issue.

BEST
ladies, if you have curly hair, chances are you've already tried dozens of products. give this one a try--put in a very generous amount and scrunch. let it dry completely (it will be crunchy). run your fingers through to get all the crunch out. voila! very defined curls, plenty of volume, and SOFT! very low maintenance--I wash once a week and just spritz with water throughout and the curls come right back to life. I have long curls (pictures) but I turned my mom onto it too and she has short hair. It worked just as well in her hair--pretty, bouncy curls! LOVE this product

Shelf life and seller matter
This is a product that obviously has a shelf life. I wasted $40+ in previous transaction getting a product that was discolored, smeared around in the package and left the little white flakes in my hair. I took a chance and purchased it again based on the responses from this seller and am happy to say I received exactly what I wanted. I just used it and comparing the quality of the product to the junk I had before was night and day. The bottle arrived in pristine condition and the gel portion was clear enough to see through, not the yellowish color I'd previously received. I 100% recommend the product from this seller (Maison Rouge), but buyer beware a little if ordering it from any other.

The magic curl-perfecting cream you’ve been looking for!!
This is IT. Literally the product I’ve been searching my whole adult life for. I no longer dread washing my hair 1-2x a week and trying to figure out how I’m gonna mess with it this time. Let me give y’all the scoop because I can’t say ENOUGH great things about this product: 1) TECHNIQUE is everything. Use your finger(s) and section off parts of your hair and curl! Just like the product instructs. 2) I am half Hispanic half white with 2c/3a hair type. Frizz is still a bitttt of a problem but nothing compared to before. I LOVE Paul Mitchell because it’s cruelty-free and extremely high quality. Definitely a 5-star product.

The only product I’ve ever tried that I can wash my hair in the evening, and let air dry completely with ZERO crunchiness! Just super soft and shiny curls. 🙌🏻 Very lightweight hold, but helps to shape and hydrate. Scent is very neutral and once it’s dry I can’t smell it at all. It only takes a very small amount (I made the mistake of using too much not too long ago, and it made my hair feel dirty 🫤)…so less is more.

Curls hold without frizz
I’ve used this for 15-20 yrs. They have changed formula over the years. Doesn’t smell as good as it did when it first came out but that’s alright I suppose. The reason I buy it still does well. I did leave a review on their site complaining about it but they don’t care anyhow. The trick to this stuff is not to use too much, I apply when hair is air drying for about an hour after wash. It doesn’t work very well when my hair is longer, past my shoulders for some reason. It does leave litter white flecks behind but they seem to fade after drying. The original formula never did this. If your hair is the type that all cream or all gel or mousse doesn’t work for you then this should work. That is the reason I bought it when I saw the gel and cream combo and thought why not. I’ve used other creams and curl enhancing items in the past but I’ve ALWAYS come back to this quirky little formula.

Leaves a residue on hair 😔
I’m so disappointed cause the product is $28 and it leaves a residue on hair. I tried it as instructed, damp hair, like in my video post. Ans I also tried it on dry hair. Then I tried it on dry hair by adding water to the product while in my hand then rubbing it together then applying it. It didn’t matter I alway got those white blobs left in my hair. Too bad I was really hoping this product would live up to its name and description.

Great!
My hair has a natural curl to it and this is great for when I want it to be curly! Never frizzes I always dry naturally and never use a blow dryer except for bang. Great for waking up the next day with just a soft wave too it. Would never be without it. It is a bit pricey but I will never be without

This is the best curl cream I have ever used and I have tried a ton. My new hairstylist told me to try it and that it would not fail me. Well he was right!!!! I have been using it for over 6 months and it really holds my curls and definition until wash day. I wash my hair twice a week. To keep it fresh in between washes I just spray with water and scrunch and the curls pop up right away.

Good for type 4a through 4c course thick hair - start with a leave in conditioner
I believe there is shea butter in here, so if you have black hair or are type 4a though 4c, you know what’s up. The key is to rub a quarter size amount in your palm to warm, then comb though your hair, using your fingers, if possible. Also, our hair is thick and the natural hair oils cannot penetrate the shaft like fine hair. I use Paul Mitchell Tea Tree leave in conditioner spray prior to any styling product. I am a black man with medium to long length type 4 hair that’s coily. Also, this is not greasy. I tried this because I need the moisture but dislike greasy hair. I used this once so far and am having positive results. I use this as a serum and moisture base FIRST, then use a little Paul Mitchel Awapuhi mousse on top to hold my hair in place and cut down on frizz. For now, I’ll stick with this combo. Value seems ok considering I only need a small amount and it effectively holds my hair in place, while sealing in moisture after washing and conditioning. In case you’re wondering, I use the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi shampoo and cream rinse too. I’ve read comments about flakes and saw pics. Either this is not for your hair type or you’re not warming this in your palms before application.

Good styling product for naturally curly/wavy hair.
I have naturally wavy hair, not quite truly curly, and this product works beautifully to style it and cut down on the frizzy factor. A nice combination of gel and mousse. Works best for me to apply to wet hair and I let it dry naturally. Then brush it when it is halfway dry.

do not use too much
this product is rich and can spread a lot through one squirt on the hand, rub your hands together and pat on the hair and then rub through or press through. If you have to you just patch your hair and press a little bit then if you want to you can use your hands and spread it through your hair and this way you’ll tell if you need more depending on the length of your hair and the conditions of your dry ends, but I found this being used in my salon when I went to get my hair done and it gave very good results and the more you use it the nicer the hair is and I also use a silk bonnet to sleep in that helps smooth down the frizzies.

Fancy
Ok. So I’m a dude. And I have long hair for the first time in my life. This cream is ease of use. It sticks to your hair well and you don’t need more than 1/2 inch ball of it to sit on your head. So performance is very well. I have slightly curly hair. And this does magic to it. And it smells good as well. I’m happy.

White globs!
See the photos! I didn’t wait to order this until I needed it, so it’s well past the return window. Otherwise I would return it. It’s pretty expensive and I do like the way my hair feels so soft after using it. But the reason for the 2 stars is because it leaves little white globs in my hair and you can’t massage them in. And it takes days for them to brush out! I’ve used it 3 times now and have the same problem every time.

Good for thick curly hair
Really a great product for thick curly hair! I've tried many and this really works for me. I use the TurbieTwist Microfiber towel to dry my hair and then leave it twisted up and drying while I get ready. This towel really does a good job of drying without making it frizzy. Also important is never combing through your curls!! Then I put about a quarter sized amount of Paul Mitchell Twirl Around in my hair and scrunch it all up with head flipped over. Then I pull all hair up into a twist and use a huge claw clip to keep it all up while I drive about an hour to work. When I take it down before walking in, I shake it out a bit and the curls are PERFECT! Lasts much longer even though my hair is very heavy and usually pulls out curls quickly...recommend highly!!

Does exactly what it says
A bit pricey but I think it’s worth it! Been using it for years and it works really well. Use less than you think and spread it on your fingers so you don’t get little bits. Adds a bit of volume and keeps a gentle curl.

I LOVE THIS! I have really big fluffy curly hair
I LOVE THIS! I have really big fluffy curly hair. I have tried many products over the years and this is my favorite. Other products I have used would hold my curls, but leave them crunchy or "scratchy" as my ex boyfriend would say. Or with others my hair would be nice and soft in the morning, then by the afternoon, it was just frizzy and uncontrolled. This stuff is super awesome because it holds my curls all day long and they stay defined and soft. My only MINOR complaint is that I wish it smelled better. It smells a little funny coming out of the container, but it doesn't smell weird once its in my hair, still smell like my shampoo and conditioner. I would tell everybody to try this product at least once. It took me a few times to find the "right amount" to apply so it works right, but now I have it down and love it :)

Great!
I have been trying new products for my hair. I have extremely thick shoulder length hair. I think this product works great so far. I just tested for the first time. It didn’t leave clumps like other reviews stated. It smells AMAZING and wasn’t very thick and not greasy at all. I admit that I need to try it a few more times before I’m completely sold on it because it is a bit pricey for the amount of product and I have never really styled my hair with product before, I’ve always let it be a full lions mane 😂. If you’re looking for something to try for curly hair, this is it!

Beautiful defined curls, shine, and softness
This is my favorite curl cream! I have been using it for 3 years now. It is not sticky at all. Leaves my hair soft, yet holds the curl in place. Does not cause my scalp to break out as many other curl creams. I have hair down to the middle of my back when wet, and I only use 1 pump, so this is very cost effective.

Great product except for the little white chunks
I love this product because it calms the frizz and boosts my curls. But I'm giving it 4 stars because it leaves little white pieces of solidified serum in my hair that I then have to pick out. The manufacturer should really fix this problem.

Meh
I really wanted to like this product. It smells amazing, but not too strong. It dispenses equal parts creme and gel, which would have saved me from purchasing two products (because equal parts gel and creme are what I use in my curl routine). My curls looked amazing, but unfortunately only the first day. I woke with a mess of lumped together curls, and by day 3 my head was a frizzy mess of undefined curls. Would be a great product if you washed and re-applied daily, but as we curly girls know, washing daily strips your curls of much needed moisture, and the best curl products last between our once to twice weekly shampoos.

kinda sticky
I am a Paul Mitchell fan! I use a few other products on my curly hair and I like them a lot. A fellow curly hair friend recommended this to me. I tried it, but I just don't like it to much... it seems a bit weighted down after it dries and it is fairly sticky when putting it on. I was hoping for "creamy" not sticky. I like the results of the other Paul Mitchell products better than this one. I will give the unused portion of this to my friend that already likes it.
