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

I am so happy I found this curl cream. I swear by the Arvazallia brand for my very dry and damaged curls. I first purchased the Hydrating Argan Oil Mask. That product did not disappoint. It deeply moisturizes my hair leaving it silky and smooth always. I decided to try the curl cream after using the mask. I pay a lot less for the Arvazallia brand than I have for other expensive brands including the Moroccan Oil series, the Ouidad collection, and Deva Curl, etc. This cream doesn't disappoint! Like the moisturizing mask, the curl cream leaves my hair manageable, smooth, and silky. My hair never feels stiff or crunchy like some other curl creams and my curls have a nice shape to them too. Believe me when I tell you I have very dry and damaged hair from using too many heating tools. Additionally, the curl cream can be used on wet or dry hair. On next day hair, I spritz my hair with a little water and apply the curl cream to reactivate the curls. My hair stays soft and my curls look like I just washed my hair. In fact, my hair looks like I just stepped out of the salon. Give it a try; you will not be disappointed. I will try to attach a picture of my hair once I download it to my laptop to give you an idea what my curls look like after day three. Thank you Arvazallia for creating these products!

I waited to write my review for a while to see how the product worked for me. I have long, thick and curly hair that gets frizzy in humidity and is hard to manage overall. I have tried, as you can imagine, many products designed for my type of hair and found that many of them made my hair look greasy and others weighed it down. I used to try to straighten my hair daily but gave up on this a few months ago. When you have curly hair, let it be curly. Enough said--this product works well. It defines my curls and makes my hair shine and look healthy. I try to wash my hair every other day, and my hair looks just as good on the day that I don't wash it. I like the texture and the smell and the fact that my hair looks good all day and doesn't go flat or loose the style. Great product!

I have thin, fine, medium-length hair. I get a perm approximately every three months. This product has worked very well with my hair. Many products weigh my hair down, but for my current length this works well. I also find that it's hydrating and helps restore my hair after the chemicals of a perm and near daily blowdrying. How I apply it: With wet hair, I finger comb the product into sections of hair followed by using "praying hands" to ensure it's evenly distributed throughout my hair. I use 2.5-3 pumps of the product for my head of hair. I follow it with another product applied mostly to my ends for heat protection. I squeeze out any extra water, then I scrunch my curls with my head pointed down or tilted to the side. I then diffuse my hair, again pointed down or tilted to the side, using medium heat and low fan. Once dry, you can see that the product creates a "cast" around small sections of my curls (see photo 1). Some people leave the cast, but I prefer to gently finger comb it out (see photo 2 and 3). I use shampoo every other day, but fully shower and at least rinse my hair with water and/or conditioner on other days. On the second day I use a little less product, but I generally get the same results both days. Throughout the day I occasionally flip my head and rough up my roots again to renew the volume, or sometimes I apply a little hairspray to sections of my roots. Overall I'm very happy with this product and recommend it for similar hair types!

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.
