Summary of reviews
The curl cream has received mixed feedback from guests, with many appreciating its ability to define curls and provide a pleasant scent. Guests noted that it works best on damp hair and can help refresh curls between washes. However, some found it sticky and heavy, leading to crunchy or dry hair. Overall, it seems to be a good option for those with thicker, curlier hair types, while others with finer hair may not find it as effective.

Linda - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I love how defined my curls are with this cream. It's not sticky like others have mentioned. Just wet your hands and work the cream through your hair. I like how it doesn't leave me feeling crunchy. The "strong" tropical smell goes away, not overwhelming at all. In between washes, I put cream on my hands and some water then simply work it through my hair and the curls are back and killing it.

Claire - 10 months ago
I mix this with water and shake it to produce a larger amount of a thinner product which allows me to spread it all over my hair, making it "curl-able " and malleable and not too crunchy but also with excellent hold and shine. I have naturally curly hair with a moderate texture. So it can frizz up with soft products and it can get really crunchy with gels. So this one is really perfect for me and the price is just amazing
Why change it

Happy customer - 11 months ago
I've used Herbal Essences' Curl defining hair gel for years. They no longer make the gel and instead use this cream. It's super sticky and doesn't spread as well as the older versions. Not sure why the change, but if it's not broke, why fix it.

Smell is way too strong and lingers for a long time. Ladies if use strong hair products be mindful of people who'd be seated next to you and skip strong smelly hair products when flying or any other strong perfume for that matter. Another reason to carry a face mask for me.

I’m an African American woman with short mixed gray natural hair. I absolutely love HE curl creme. It’s super easy to apply, keeps my hair frizz free shiny and doesn’t need additional products (gel, leave in conditioner, etc…).

I was hopeful trying this product, as I've loved herbal essences' hair creams in the past and this is the only option currently available. However, other reviewers were right about this product. It has a glue/paste like consistency and dries crispy like hair gel before eventually leaving my hair even frizzier than it would be without product. The smell is okay, but it did not do its job. I hope they come out with new products soon that work much better.

Works for curls/waves but drying
4 out of 5 stars
Rachel - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is one of few products that really helps hold my curls/waves. It’s also helpful with second day curls. I’ve tried so many different products and while some creams help most gels just leave my hair sticky and flat. I know technically this a cream but it for me it acts like a gel. BUT it has a downside, it def dries my hair out faster which means I need to wash sooner. For someone like me who’s desperate I’ll use it when I’m planning to air dry only. Plus the price is pretty decent.

Not a "cream" at all - this has the consistency and hold of a gel, instead. Disappointing, since the scent is amazing. Back to the drawing board for me and my curls.
1 reply from Herbal Essences team - 2 years ago
Hi Jessica Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent purchase of our Herbal Essences Curl Defining Cream. Our apologies that our Curl Cream had a different consistency and held more like a gel. Our products go through many quality checks to ensure they reach you in the best possible condition. What you've described is not something we would expect and be assured we are sharing your comments with our Quality Assurance Team. The product can become an unusual texture if exposed to extreme temperatures. For example, if it was really hot or cold outdoors when it was shipped, the product may appear much thicker than normal, and it may not return to a normal consistency even at room temperature. Also, unusual texture or consistency may be caused by the product being old. Please contact us at 1-855-236-3327 or send an email through our Contact Us page, so we can correct things.
Didn't work on my hair

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
HollyB - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I have very fine, curly, highlighted hair and struggle to find products that control frizz and define the curl and feel natural without stickiness or a dried out feel to my hair. And I don’t want crunchy gross feeling hair either! This is not the worst product I have used, but it isn’t that great either. It actually has a cleaner soft feel that most hair products I have tried. After using it, my hair was frizzy and didn’t have much curl definition. I’m not sure who they are testing these curl products on, but most curling creams or gels do not work on my hair. The only positive is that it didn’t make my hair feel as dry as a lot of gels or mousses usually do.

Hi Holly, we are very sorry to read you are unhappy with the outcome from using our Herbal Essences Leave In Curl Cream with Mango & Aloe. We understand how frustrating it can be searching for the right product for your tresses. Sometimes hair can appear frizzy or dry if it is not conditioned enough. Here are some helpful tips (if you have not tried this already): try using a conditioning treatment 2-3 times a week, try using a leave-in conditioner verses a rinse out.

I love this curling cream, it has a medium hold, which works perfectly for me, I can used it with no gel or light hold gel to keep my curls looking good for a long time. But without the gel this curling cream will do it on its own, it smellss very fruity too! And the price is my favorite thing about 🙌🏼

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us, and for sharing your review. I am very sorry to hear that this curl cream left you hair feeling as if you applied Elmer's glue and flaky. This could be caused by applying too much product or possible this product was not suitable for your hair type. Please contact us at 1-855-236-3327 to further assist.
