Dolores August 6, 2025

I have been buying this product for years. So happy you still have it. The retailer I used to purchase it from no longer carries it. I am amazed at the new price, but it works for me, so, unfortunately I had to pay the outrageously higher price. There are so many products out there. I don't have the time nor the patience to try them on order to find a replacement. Thank you.

Works great on natural hair

Debbie December 27, 2021

If your hair is natural this is the product for you. I have dry frizzy hair but when i put this product on my hair i could instantly feel and see the results. It will feel damp on your hair at first but once it penetrate in your hair it will fill soft and silky. The smell is soft not too noticeable. I used to use this product when i had a jerry curl. I don't have anything in my hair now it's all natural and it still curls with this product.

Not My First Bottle!

Ownwoman April 4, 2020

My hair is naturally curly, but it frizzes instead of curling. My routine now is the following; brush vigorously, wash and condition with “curl” products. Towel dry, and while still very damp, finger comb soft sheen into my hair. I let it dry completely before brushing. Very often, I don’t even brush until the next day. The little spiral curls are cute as is. This is the third bottle I’ve had.

Great product, great price!

redrebel40 March 29, 2021

Glad I could get my curl enhancer at Walmart where the price is better! This product works miracles on my hair and gives me great curls, without stiffness.

Curl quencher

Erica February 4, 2021

This instant curl activator quenches your curls. As soon as I wash my hair, I apply this product and detangle. My hair is curlier and has more moisture

Prefer it over gel

orchidrubydragon January 24, 2017

My girls got long wavy hair so it easily gets frizzy so when they want to keep it looking natural this is the product we go to. It gives it a wet look without the stiffness of gel.

Makes my hair soft

CharmeusePrincess November 17, 2015

My hair is what some call 4C texture. I wear it in its natural state. This product did not make my hair curly, but it did make my hair's pattern stand out more. I have used the product in 2 ways. One times I washed my hair and then added the care free curl when it was damp, doing that made my hair SO easy to comb through. On other days I have braided my hair and then added some of the product to each braid, my hair gets softer and softer with each passing hour. By the next day it is like a fluffy cloud. The downside is that this product leaves your hair feeling waxy and unpleasant until it dries completely and sets in. Once it does that, you can't tell you have anything on your hair, but it's still soft and easier to manage. I would suggest using the product well before you plan to style your hair. It really does need time to set in.

So Far, Ok

Lele July 19, 2016

I have only been using this product for a few days. But I feel as if it is really stretching my hair out, and making it more "flowy". Like it moves around a lot and is bouncy. I recently had Jheri curls done that did not really make my hair curly, I was a bit disappointed. My hair still is not exactly curly, but I think that when I put perm rods or rollers in my hair, this product will help make it that way. For now, I just like the softness it puts in my hair. Since my hair is thick, I use about two quarter size amounts of it.

Disappointed

Laverne February 18, 2025

VERY disappointed for the first time!!! I received a half of bottle of the product which was very costly! It appeared to have been used! Didn't have a protective seal cover under cap but nevertheless the less the bottle was half full! I'm very disappointed
