Good all-rounder!
"Great all round product. I use it as a stand alone leave in for soft, defined curls and waves or pair it with a gel for more definition. It does not weigh my hair down."

Rake the cream through soaking wet hair, making sure you are evenly distributing it and coating every strand. Use the 'praying hands' method to smooth the strands. This helps sealing cuticles and reducing frizz!

Reviews
Excellent product
"Excellent product that gives extra definition to my curls. It's creamy consistency doesn't weigh down & dry out my curls but gives it fullness & hold & already mentioned, extra definition ..... love it :)"
In awe of awestruck definition curl creme 🤩
"Love this product, it keeps my curls defined, my hair feels soft and doesn’t have that post curl product crunch!"
Awestruck Is An Understatement
"I have fine easy to frizz curly hair and nothing has ever worked so wonderfully as Awestruck Definition Cream. My hair forms beautiful curls, no frizz, great hold and I it volumizes! Seriously, it is unbelievable on my hair!"
3 in 1
"Great if you are looking for a two in one combo that gives you a little of both. Did not experience frizz but you can add gel if you want more hold. Smells great like all their products. I also love that it had heat protectant built in. It's more like a 3 in 1"
Soft curls and waves
"Smells amazing. Nourishing and defines my curls. I pair it with a gel for more definition or leave it on its own for soft waves and curls. No frizz!"
My husband is obsessed!
"My husband has 1B hair and loves the hold provided by the Awestruck Definition cream. He has used different creams and stylers in the past. This product stands out by providing definition without weighing his hair down."
Good Hold!
"I usually use a stronger hold gel but, based on recommendations, I tried this product which is more of a cream. The product goes on smooth and allows easy brush styling. I added a little Curlsmith Invincible Volume Mousse on top and got really strong cast and great hold with absolutely no frizz. Now on day 2 - so far no frizz and great hold. Looking forward to seeing how long I can go with some refresh."
Great product!
"I use the product for styling and it is really good. This is my third purchase and I will definitely be purchasing again."
Works on 68 year old curls
"This worked as described and made my 2c curls defined without any stiffness."
Q&A
- Which ingredients in the Awestruck Definition Cream provide heat protection? And up to what temperature? Also, will the Awestruck Definition Cream interfere with the hard cast created by the In-Shower Style Fixer?
- Hi Jen, Thanks so much for reaching out—we’re happy to clarify The Awestruck Definition Cream contains heat-protective botanical ingredients that help shield the hair during heat styling. It will not interfere with the hard cast created by the In-Shower Style Fixer. For best results, we recommend applying the Awestruck Definition Cream first for moisture and definition, then layering the In-Shower Style Fixer on top to create and lock in the cast. Please let us know if you have any other questions—we’re always glad to help! Thanks, Curlsmith
- Hi! I’m a big fan of your In Shower Style gel and am looking for a styling cream as an alternative styling product. Does this product contain any protein in it? Also, does it work well for 3c hair? Thanks !
- Hi Alanna, Thanks for your feedback. We’re so glad you love our In-Shower Style Fixer! The Awestruck Definition Cream does not contain protein—it’s a moisturizing styling cream that helps enhance definition and control frizz. It works great for 3C hair, adding soft hold and shine without stiffness. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
- Does this product have the same strong scent as Hold Me Softly Styling Balm? I’m looking for a styler that is both protein-free and fragrance-free. Currently trying out the fragrance-free leave-in conditioner, which also seems to be low-protein.
- Hi Cathy, Thanks for reaching out! The Awestruck Definition Cream does have a light, fresh scent—it's not as strong as the Hold Me Softly Styling Balm. However, it’s not fragrance-free. If you’re looking for a completely fragrance-free and low-protein styler, our Fragrance-Free Leave-In would be a better fit. Let us know if you have further questions. You can reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com. Thanks, Curlsmith
- Hi is this suitable for fine wavy hair or just proper curls please?
- Hi K! This can be used on wavy, curly and coily hair :)
- I read to apply the leave-in conditioner on mids to ends to avoid scalp buildup. Should Awestruck Definition cream also only be applied on mids to ends when raking in?
- Hi Ann, Great question! Yes, just like leave-in conditioner, we recommend applying the Awestruck Definition Cream mainly from the mid-lengths to ends to avoid any potential buildup at the scalp. This will help give you definition and moisture where your hair needs it most. If you have additional questions. Please reach out to hello@curlsmith.com. Thanks, Curlsmith
