Boots essentials curling creme

So far I love this product on my medium/longish, fine, layered and wavy hair. It feels like leave in conditioner with slight hold. Like other reviewers have said, do not use is straight from the pot - rub it between palms first till it turns white, and optionally mix it with a little water. I don't use it the way it says on the package - "work through evenly from root to tip". That …Read more

It is legit.

I have fine, thin, 2a hair. I used this in tandem with Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz because I read reviews saying it should be used with something that has a little more hold. My waves and curls are defined, soft, not crunchy at all. I love it! I will use it alone in a test later, to see what it can do on its own.

I'm really annoyed with this product. First off, you can't buy it in the US, so I shelled out for overseas shipping and bought it through a UK website. Even then, it wasn't too expensive but I did get my hopes up that this would be an awesome product. By itself, it just gives my wavy/curly hair a mass of frizz and good definition. With leave-in conditioner, it still leaves a lot …Read more

I truly love this product!


I am a 3b/c, with medium-coarse hair. All my life I struggled to tame it, straighten it, do anything to make it presentable. I finally discovered naturallycurly.com, a true God-send, and started a no-poo routine that has literally changed my life.


Anyway, this was a raved about product on that forum, so I tried it. It doesn't …Read more

I love love love love this product.

This is the only product that gives me clumpy spiral curls.

I used with a leave-in conditionr, then various silicone free gels on top. It definitely reduces frizz.

Works better than Tigi Curl Amplifer.

Always use a tiny tiny amount, and emulsify in hands until its thick and white. Otherwise it makes your hair heavy …

The miracle product for styling curls and a totally cult status ! Known as Boots Pink

The only thing is that it doesn't even come with directions, and if you are going to use it straight from the pot to the hair you will not like it.

You need to do the following:

- take half tea spoon or less in your hand
- mix with a bit of water
- You will see …Read more

On my second tub now - this stuff is great! Dirt cheap and does its job. I use this on wet hair and just twirl my hair around my fingers; this is enough to give me bouncy curls. Not bad at all.

I bought this when I was stocking up on Frizz Ease Secret Agent cream, because I use Boots curling spray, which is really good and doesn't leave me with 'crunchy' hair (mmm, nice!). It was dirt cheap, but I won't be buying it again. I really like the smell, but it does nothing for my hair: the underneath stays soft and wavy, but somehow it just leaves the top layers …Read more

If Im lucky everytime I go home I get to stopover in london and pick this stuff up since you really cant get it elsewhere--- I have 3a/b hair and I have tried TONS of products and this is the BEST leave-in, i use probably two quarter size amounts for my entire long hair and it keeps it soft and moisturized!!! I layer a light gel over it, since this provides only moisture NO hold (just so everyone …Read more

I love this stuff so much. It makes my curls bouncy, less frizzy, shiny and moistursed and all for £1.30 a tub. I have found that it needs some extra help with the hold, a bit of gel will do it. Too much of this creme can make my hair a bit 'producty' and sticky. A little goes a long way and a tub can last for 6 months or more.

Edit to add: This is usually part of the 3 for 2 …Read more
