Royal Locks Pro Curl Defining Cream with Argan Oil - Lightweight Anti-Frizz Curly Hair Styling Gel for Wavy, Coily & Curly Hair (8 fl oz)

Being a man with curly hair can be tricky. Leave it alone and it is a frizzy mess. Apply most hair products and it is a crispy, crunchy, mess that a hurricane could not budge. No one want to run their fingers through a porcupine. On the other side, weak, stay-in conditioners (and similar product) can't control the stubborn mop that lives atop my head for more than a few hours. I made a deal with my hair many years ago - stick around and I will try to let you do your own thing, but you can't just go crazy because I don't want to look like Eraserhead. It's just not cool. I am not Tom Waits. I have a job that requires a tie and an air of professionalism. I am not attractive enough to have completely unruly hair and get away with it, but I have learned that trying to control my hair by sheer force is a losing battle. In comes this stuff. It has some oil that is apparently good for your hair. I have to be honest, I'm just trusting them on that claim because I don't want to do the research to confirm or refute that assertion. What I can tell you is that regardless of the ambient humidity (and those of us with curly hair understand what a powerful factor that is), you can put this in while your hair is wet (or dry) and it will hold the curl all day without getting frizzy or crunchy, remain soft to the touch, and rinses out easily. It doesn't collect in little gross collections of product that you find later and fear that someone might have thought you had bird poop in your hair. It doesn't dry out and create "product dandruff" that drops on your shoulders. It doesn't smell much and the smell is not unpleasant (non-existent once dry). It is a very soft hold, but it holds. It works. I don't have to think about it and that, to me, is highly valuable. I just wrote a lot about a hair product and I am a male. That alone should tell you something. TLDR: It's pretty good if you are a man with curly hair. The best I have found so far (and I've been fighting with my hair for 30 years - I'm older than 30, but I didn't care about my hair when I was a kid. Thank god).

Good stuff! I went out in the rain and I didn't frizz up. Wait. One more time. I went out. In the rain. And I didn't frizz up. Can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome that is? 'Kay now. It's a fairly large bottle, well packaged so it arrived intact without leaking, with a cap, seal, and the pump on the side for manual insertion upon arrival. I had to mess with the pump a little bit to get it to open - apparently it likes four letter words as a password. My hair is waist length when wet, and shorter by whatever amount it feels like that day when dry and curly. I started with 2 squirts, but it left my hair a little crunchy in spots when it was overapplied. One squirt is enough to do the trick - no frizz, no crunch, and nicely defined curls. I applied to damp hair after a shower and let it air dry with just a quick comb out, no further styling. The bottle's pretty large, so one squirt a day should last quite a while. I purchased due to the good reviews and the no animal testing question that was answered; I prefer products not tested on animals where possible. I'm not thrilled with the made in China aspect, but the product works well.

I bought this in February 2017, and actually bought the non-gel version in September 2016. That was the beginning of my curly hair journey, and I had little knowledge of how to treat curly hair. I used this after shampooing, did my usual thing, and was disappointed in this product. I put it, and the other curl cream, in the back of the closet. A year later, I have since learned a method of handling my hair called "squish to condish" (you'll have to Google it) and that really helped my hair look so much better, along with other things like co-washing, not using towels on hair,etc. About a week ago, I found this in my closet and decided to give it another go. I washed my hair using a co-wash, applied a leave-in conditioner, and did my usual "squish to condish" method. Then I used this cream gel, applying enough to coat my hands, and scrunched it into my hair, making sure not to miss any sections. I then lightly smoothed a small amount of the gel over the sides of my head where I tend to get most of my frizz. Then I let my hair air-dry, and the results were really good. Minimal frizz, and no crunchiness like I would get with other gels. The next day I was surprised to see my hair hadn't frizzed up too much. All I did was dampen my hair with water on my hands, and then smoothed the cream (the bottle I got in September) over my hair, gently gliding it along. Then I scrunched again, adding more here and there where needed, and my hair looked good again. Usually by the time it dries, it looks frizzy again, but it didn't. So I will continue using this, which will be for quite a while, considering how large the bottle is!

I have naturally curly hair and I usually straighten it daily. Straightening is obviously not good for it as it burns the hair and dries it out. Well.. I found an amazing new curly hair product that nourishes and keeps the frizz low! Living in TX we have a super high humidity level at all times, so frizz is part of life here. Royal Locks Curl Care Cream left my curls beautifully defined and they aren’t frizzy at all! I’ve even slept on it and my curls are still soft and defined. Plus it smells so good! This is a great curl cream and a little goes a long way! I will definitely be leaving my hair naturally curly more often with this awesome product in my cabinet!

This product works really great. It’s nice and light and it really works on my very thin hair locking in the curls. It’s a nice lightweight only thing wrong with it is that it does not have a nice smell to it at all if they could change the scent to make it smell nice, it would get five stars

I was looking for something that would work for wavy hair, too. This is the ticket! I highly recommend this styling cream. It is soft and locks in moisture - it doesn't weigh your hair down and you don't need a lot of it. It is reasonably priced and foots the bill giving curl/wave definition that lasts for days - and can be "sprung back to life" with a few spritz's of water. My waves/curls are defined, soft, not crispy and it holds up pretty well to humidity, too. My hair has body and with a diffuser - volume as well and the smell is great. I have tried more expensive brands - "specialty curl gels/cremes" that were more drying - I think the argon oil, in the right amount is the key in this product. Highly recommend! Thanks Royal Locks!

I like to wait to review a product until I've finished the bottle, because that's when I decide if I'm going to buy more or search for something else. I'm writing this review now as I add another bottle to my cart. I'm the kind of person always looking for a better product, whether it's for my hair or skin, so buying something again is a rarity for me. I also try lots of new products through my Ipsy subscription, and none of them have come close to this hair cream. First of all, this product lasted nine months! So much longer than most beauty products I buy. It feels great in my hair. I use a little before blow drying my hair upside down, then use a little more to scrunch the rest. Done and done. It gives you just enough hold to keep the frizz down, but not so much that your hair is crunchy. My naturally wavy hair has never looked better. Highly recommend this stuff!

I have crazy, curly hair. It’s got a mind of its own and never does the same thing twice. I’ve been looking for the holy grail hair product for most of my life. This product comes closer than any other except one I used years ago and they no longer make it. I decided to try one more product yet again and I’m glad I did. My hair is very fine, highlighted and a combination of ringlets and big curls. When it behaves, and all the planets become aligned, it’s beautiful. But mostly it’s a huge pain and a frizzy mess. Lately, it’s definitely lost its mojo and my curls have become a blob without any definition or bounce. When I got this product home,I washed my hair, left it very wet and applied it all over and underneath. Immediately I noticed my curls had come back to life. I lightly dried and then let it air dry and my curls look amazing. I’ve experimented with adding some higher hold gel on top and that worked well too. So, I mostly love this product. My only reason for one minus star is that I still had some frizz. I’m not sure if it’s the product or just me touching my hair too much during the drying process, but my curls have a tendency to be “poodle’ like and I pull them to elongate so that could create some of the frizz still. Bottom line-I love this stuff and I’ll continue to use it. I don’t think I’ll be searching for the holy grail anymore! I will be stocking up just in case they quit making it!!!
