Featherlight Protein Eliminate My Hair Battle
"Curlsmith's Featherlight Protein completely eliminated the druggy of combat I used to have with my 3c/a, fine, thick, African-American hair. My hair is now soft and manageable and has the curl definition I didn't think possible. As a bonus detangling is a breeze. Thank you Curlsmith for looking out for those of us with hair that does not fit a one size fits all product world!!!!"
Great Protein Rich Creme
"I love that this has both protein and hold and isn't heavy. I have quite thick 2c hair and this gives good hold to my hair. I can't use it on every wash as it does build up but I do love this every other wash. As it has hold it works really well for air drying too."
Excellent product the best I’ve

"It really brings out my curls."
Made my hair like straw
"Came back to curlsmith for co wash and tried the protein stylier for first time. Unfortunately, this combo was a complete fail. Oh well…"
Smells nice but did not work for me
"The products smelled nice but they did not work for my hair. The shampoo and conditioner gave a burning sensation to my scalp and the protein cream was too heavy for my hair."
It's ok.
"I have very fine, easily frizzy curls and I found it did give my hair movement but it didn't work well with the frizz."
Great product overall
"My favourite leave in cream, I hair likes protein and this one it has a light hold which helps with definition. Great consistency and texture, easy to apply. First choice when I want my hair to look great not only on my wash day."
Solution to One & Done
"First time trying this product and I could probably eliminate using the gel. It has increased the feel of moisture in my hair. I have been looking for an almost one & done product, this may be the balm I was looking for. Time will tell with summer arriving."
