Reviews
Curl smith air dry
"I found this product to perform well. Clear instructions on the tube resulted in soft for curls without frizziness! No obnoxious odor from the product. It is also comparably / competitively priced. I recommend this product!"
Soft curls
"I have 3B hair and this stuff is amazing! I pair it with the in shower gel. My hair lasts for 4-5 days between washes. My curls stay bouncy too. I love this and I'm a repeat customer so you know its worth the price."
Air Dry Cream Works Well!
"I have been using the air dry cream after my showers and it’s been working well to combat frizz. It doesn’t weigh down my hair or make it look greasy. When my hair is dried, it doesn’t make it feel like there’s any product in my hair either."
Happy
"Love the smell and feel of this product and with a silk bonnet overnight it can last up to 3 days for me letting me wear my hair down without needing to rewash for that proper hair done look. I pair it with the leave in and love the results."
New formula
"The new formula makes my hair feel gross and matted. It is very heavy on my hair and the smell of the new formula really bothers my allergies. I wish they hadn't changed the product."
Love my new curls
"So far I am loving this. My hair is now curly and not frizzy! I used to straighten hair daily but minute there was moisture in air / rain or if I sweated it would go frizzy & curly around base of neck. I now air dry & scrunch & that’s it! I even got asked if I’d had a perm other day π€£ I’ve been using shampoo, conditioner and this cream, and although I don’t get a lather with shampoo (which I don’t like) I really do like the overall end result!!"
I love this product!!
"This leave in hydrating my curls I recommended for sure"
Holy grail
"If I could only use one after wash hair product for the rest of my life this would be it. Nothing compares. I’ve tried literally EVERYTHING and nothing comes close to having the same results as this product. I’m pretty cheap if I can be, but this is absolutely worth it. Just repurchased my third bottle. Also, I have very very thick and dense hair and every bottle lasts a long time especially compared to other leave in conditioners that do not stretch or coat as well"
Never change the winning team.
"I have wavy hair and most products are too heavy. I dont remember how much bottles I bought but many. Normally I have to change products. This one stays!"
Q&A
- Hi, I love this product but I’m still having issue with frizz even with the gel. I do clarify my and apply on soaking hair, what would you recommend?
- Please reach out to our customer service team via hello@curlsmith.com and we will be happy to talk through your routine and suggest some tips and tricks specific to your hair type and routine. :) Our top tips for avoiding frizz are: 1. Make sure you use a leave-in conditioner before you apply your styler. This ensures your curls are hydrated and primed for your gel 2. Use the praying hands method to smooth the gel through your hair, then gently lift your hair from end to root and pulse. Being too rough when scrunching can disturb curl clumps and create frizz. 3. After applying your styler and scrunching to encourage curl formation, make sure you don't touch your hair until it is fully dry. This ensures that your curls stay defined in the cast created by the gel. Use an oil or serum to scrunch out the crunch when your hair is 100% dry, to reveal soft, smooth, bouncy curls.
- Love how this looks and feels in my hair when it’s freshly washed but the next time I wash it my hair feels extremely dry! I haven’t changed any other part of my routine so it must be this. What am I doing wrong! Is there another product i should be using alongside it?
- The Weightless Air Dry Cream is lightweight but incredibly moisturising and nourishing; it should not be drying out your hair. It may be that you are experiencing product build-up and need a clarifying shampoo to remove any products which are coating your strands and preventing any further moisture from penetrating the cuticle. Please see our Wash and Scrub Detox Shampoo, which can be used every 4-5 washes to help reset your hair and scalp. Alternatively, you may feel it beneficial to go for a richer leave-in, such as the Hold Me Softly Style Balm or the Curl Conditioning Oil-In-Cream.
- Has this been reformulated? My current bottle does not say isopropyl alcohol but my recently ordered one off the website lists it as an ingredient. This is a very bad ingredient for curly hair and not curly approved.
- Hi Sarah, Thanks for reaching out to us. Isopropyl Alcohol is a material that serves as a process aid in one of our highly effective conditioning ingredients, and is present in very tiny amounts. While IPA on it's own and in high amounts would be drying to the hair, our skilled formulators account for this in the formulation to insure the proper amount of conditioning for curly, coily and wavy hair. I hope this helps. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith
- Do you add this to the root area or just mix length to ends?
- It is best to focus your leave-in on your mid lengths and ends, so as not to cause build up on your scalp.
- Can I leave it overnight
- This can be left in the hair overnight!
- Hi. Is this cream suitable for men? And does it enhance curls like a curl activator or a curl cream does?
- Yes it is! It is a lightweight leave in conditioner that enhances curl texture
- For fine, low density hair, might this be enough conditioner if I use your essential moisture shampoo but skip the rinse out conditioner? I went without a rinse out conditioner for a long time, trying to build one back in but it is over loading me right niw. I have consistently used & loved the air dry cream for about 2 years though.
