I like Clinique products. I use their facial cleansers/moisturizers as well as their makeup. I figured I'd give their hair products a try. I have chemically relaxed hair and when I let it dry naturally my hair gets curly, but I need to use products to define the curls otherwise I'll end up with a huge mop on my head. I liked this product, but I can't use it alone. I use it with a glossy serum (Paul Mitchell's Glass Drops or Pantene's gloss serum). I would repurchase this during a "gift with purchase" campaign, but there are other cheaper products out there that do the trick.

I tried this product because I had heard good things about it. I have fine/Medium curly hair. I tried this product alone, and my hair was a frizzy mess. It felt like straw, and had no curl definition at all. I tried mixing it with my staple - Biolage Gelee, and still, nothing. My hair felt coated whenever I used the product, and I couldn't wait to wash it out. I ended up swapping it.

I thought I didn't like this at first because it didn't have enough hold, but now that i've used up my whole tube, I am starting to miss it.

I have long and coarse wavy/curly dark hair and I wouldn't use this alone. I used it wil a silicone based serum and maybe even a curl enhancing spray. I like the texture of this cream and loved the light citrusy fragrance. I think it's worth a try...

I tried this and really liked it. Its also more reasonably priced than some other salon products. It wasnt greasy and it held my curls pretty well. Most of my curls have been chopped off now so I havent used it much lately but I remember that it was great. Certainly better than quite a few of Clinique's other hair products, and I'm a Clinique-freak saying this ;) .

I love this stuff. It not greasy at all and really gives me great curls. I have wavy-ish hair and when I use this stuff it gives me cute littles ringlets! Its best put in wet hair, then dryed with a diffuser, then to control frizzies use a light hairspray.

This is the first cream-based product I've tried on my hair. I have medium-length very curly, dry hair. I like this product, but it didn't define my hair as much as I wanted it to. On the hand, it defininately doesn't make you crunchy or dry you out. It has very little smell, which I prefer. The packaging is plain and utilitarian. In terms of price, it is fairly pricy. I might buy again...

I love this stuff....:) I always come back to it in my never ending search for the perfect product... I have waist lenth curly/wavy hair & it defines it without weighing it down or making it crunchy or crispy. Not to mention that it doesn't seem to dry it out. Definitely a plus!

Best styling product I've found so far. Well defined curls that are soft, practically frizz-free, and no crunch. I've found several styling products that define and soften my naturally curly hair but after using them for a period of time, they dry my hair out and the frizzies return. I haven't experienced that with this product.

This is great for my naturally curly hair. It is hard to find something that softens and smoothes while eliminating frizzies and giving control!

This is kind of between a cream and a gel. On my hair - medium thick, medium curly, below shoulder length -- it works really well, gives me defined spirals. On really humid days, I need something gutsier, though!

I've used this for about a year and a half. Its great for making hair softer and clumping curls. It leaves my hair shiny and moisturized also. It has no hold on its own and is to be used with a gel of your choice. I have 4 a/b hair according to andre walker's hair system

This reminded me more of a conditioner. It weighed my hair down and left my hair curl-less. I tried it several times in different amounts, air drying and diffusing, nothing worked. The best part about this purchase was that Clinique accepts returns on used products. I have wavy hair with a few curls. Maybe if you have super curly hair this would work for you.

I really liked this product, but I've found something else I like better (Alterna Hemp Seed Texturizing Glaze), so I won't be repurchasing. There wasn't enough separation, but other than that, I had no complaints.

This defined curls nicely, but I've had similar (and better) results with drugstore brand products for half the price. This also broke me out around the hairline and everywhere else my hair touched my skin. Would not repurchase this again.

This is horrible. It does nothing to hold and define curls. It left my hair flat w/no curls. It felt more like a conditioner as my hair felt soft. I tried this with hairspray also to try and 'keep' the curls but the defined is just too heavy and weighed down my hair. My hair was flat AND had frizzies, how's does that happen?

This made my hair super soft and left it with virtually no frizzies. It was so nice to work with because for once I didn't have that sticky residue left on my hands or my hair afterwards. It defined my curls nicely, what little I have it made it look like more. And it never weighed my hair down or made it greasy at all. Great product!

I love the smell of this, but made my fine hair too soft and "poofy"

This is a great product for my thick wavy hair. It separates my curls without leaving them crunchy.
