Ultra Curl Defining Cream with Argan Oil By Arvazallia for Wavy and Curly Hair

I have fine hair with natural spiral curls. Well, that is until the past several years. I'm 46 and have been coloring my hair since I was 18. I thought that my smooth curl days were over. My hair was so frizzy and my curls so sad looking, no matter what I tried. Until this fantastic product. I just used it for the first time and WOW! I put it on towel dried hair and dried my hair with a defuser. My curls haven't look this good in a very long time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I bought this hoping it would be an acceptable substitute for my former go-to moisturizing curl cream, which has unfortunately been discontinued by the manufacturer. My old cream smelled great, made my hair incredibly soft & shiny, gave my curls great definition while eliminating frizz, and my curls looked bouncy & fresh all day. I had high hopes for this cream based on the reviews and pictures that other shoppers posted but I was disappointed: this cream did N-O-T-H-I-N-G for my frizz, my curls were limp in a few hours, and I'm not a fan of the scent. My search for a replacement curl cream continues........

I needed a change of pace for my curls and based on the mostly positive reviews here and the fact that argan oil has worked well with my mop of curls and frizz, I decided to give this a try. The price seemed reasonable enough. I have to endlessly tame the beast that is my thick, curly, frizzy mop of hair. To be clear, my review is based on using this product on the beast all of three times so far. If my opinion changes over time I will amend the review. I promise. For now, this product is absolutely exceptional in my hair. Makes my curls come alive and also hold their shape longer than other products. There was also a bounciness to the curl. Now granted, it is the dead of winter here with dry temperatures endlessly below 30 degrees so frizz isn't likely to be a problem. The frizz test will come soon enough (I hate hot weather) and as I said I will amend this review if this stuff can't handle my kinks. For now, the curls are curly and soft and just as I would want curls to be.Lots of reviews mention the wonderful smell. Here's where I have to beg to differ. This stuff does not smell good to me. It isn't horrid, it isn't even bad, but I just would not say it smells good. It kind of puts me in mind of the old afro sheen smell from the days of yore. Do they even still make afro sheen? Not that it smells exactly like the old afro sheen but there is a similar olfactory tone.Smell aside, this is my new favorite hair product for my out of control mop. I have already gotten a couple of folks telling me that my hair looks good. Could be the recent cut but I think it probably has a lot to do with this ultra curl defining cream with argan oil.UPDATE AFTER 15 MONTHS OF USE: I love this stuff and can't imagine how I ever lived without it. My hair is silky smooth, far more manageable and curly rather than frizzy most of the time. Even in humid summer temps, I see more curl than I ever saw before. In rereading the above review I see I complained a bit about the smell. Honestly I have no memory of that. My first bottle must have been bad or else they changed the scent. I love it now and ALWAYS get compliments on how my hair smells. I use this every morning and could not be happier! In fact, it is now part of my subscribe and save order.Bottom Line: Heck yes I would recommend this product. You've got thick curly frizzy hair like me you know how important good product is. Try it.

I've been using  Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask and Deep Conditioner By Arvazallia for Dry or Damaged Hair - 8.45 Oz  for about six months now. I've gone from waist length, very thick, wavy hair to a new do cut an inch or two below my shoulders. I have been very pleased with the hair mask since I had fairly frizzy ends from not cutting it in eons. It didn't magically knit the splits back together or anything, but it didn't calm down the riot happening on my head. I tried this curl defining cream on my long hair and wasn't terribly impressed with its 'curl defining' action. It did make the waves a bit more defined, but not any more so than other hair sprays/creams I've tried.However, after pruning that business back and removing a huge amount of hair weight, dem' curls can finally spring like they want to - and so this cream can actually have a chance of doing what it's supposed to.After washing my hair (I've started using less of the oil mask, alternating washing session of only shampoo, with shampoo + mask, since my hair is at more manageable levels now) I worked in about three pumps of the curl cream and the let it air dry after a few minutes of gentle blow drying - it's cold today and I didn't want to be sopping wet for the rest of the day. I did try twisting a couple of the top strands back away from my face and I was surprised that they actually loosely held - I'll be doing that in the future. It gave my hair a bit more put-together look instead of its usual untamed windswept/bedhead scrunch-fest.The results were fairly controlled curls, no tackiness or stiffness whatsoever. I could do with a little more frizz control, and some of those curls are just going weird directions, but I'll have to take that complaint to my own genes, not the cream creators.

I have mid-length long naturally wavy hair. So many products leave my hair clumped together with a greasy feel. This product does NOT do that. I love the curls/waves it enhances.It also gives my hair GREAT BODY! It makes my hair seem thicker. I LOVE THAT.I have lots of hair products but this is by far my favorite. I only use this product. No more do I need a silk-like product to smooth my hair's texture - this stuff does it all.It's just delightful to say - this does it all.
