Cake Beauty Gel-to-Foam Styler, The Curl Friend – Volumizing & High Hold Gel to Foam - Flake Free Frizz Control - Infused with Coconut Oil & Shea Butter - For Curly Hair- 6.8 fl oz./ 200 mL

I do have to layer a mousse on top to prevent too much poof and frizz at this time of year, but I live in Florida and no single one product stands a chance. However, if I do that, it holds up all day, it smells amazing but not cloying, and it somehow manages to give volume and a unifying look to a mix of straight, wavy, and curly thin strands that never agree on the plan. I also don’t have to apply it soaking wet, which I love, as I hate getting up early to have to blow dry. I can wash the night before and use a spray bottle to re-wet and apply. It sort of forms a caste but not “ramen hair;” it naturally softens on its own after it fully dries. I rarely have to aggressively scrunch out crunch unless I got too heavy handed with application at the roots. This has been a life saver for hormonally bipolar perimenopausal hair that suddenly stopped responding to products I’d used for years.

This product works great My daughter usually has to use 4 products to make her hair curly manageable With this she only has to use it It also smells amazing It’s so reasonably priced and works so well One of the best curly hair products I’ve ever purchased for her

I have 2C 3A curls. Lots and lots of fine hair so it looks very thick. I can curl my hair easily and I can wear it straight easily. This might help you to know what type of hair I have when reading this review. When I try and get all curls with regular gel, I end up with stringy hair after lots of effort. For the past couple years, I’ve been working really hard on trying to have all curls all the time and zero frizz. I recently discovered that all that effort is giving me all stringy curls all the time and lots of frizz. So I end up looking like I have a bad 80s perm. This stuff is helping me to accept my crazy hair type, some of it is curly, some of it is coily and some of it is straight. I need to use very little of this product to get soft, frizz free, mostly wavy hair. I’m much happier now that I’ve gave up the struggle for perfect curls and accepting the mix of textures in my hair. This gel is helping me to have beautiful frizz free waves even days after my shampoo. Soft, doesn’t feel dirty/sticky from hair products. The scent is heaven for me. It totally smells like lemon cake. I don’t find it to be very strong and I do have a sensitivity to very strong scents in products. This smell is perfection.

I have used so many products on the market for my really thick, frizzy, curly hair and this by far is the best brand!! The mousse holds so well doesn’t leave the hair stiff or sticky, very lightweight and natural feeling!! Love this and will buy again!

It is a good mouse, but I was not fond of the scent. I thought from reading some reviews that it would smell like Cake, but to my surprise it has a sweet floral scent. I would have given a 5 star rating had it not been for the scent. Other than that issue the product does it's job very well. Leaves hair soft and shiny, no frizz, It lifts and creates beautiful curls and volume that last all day. I'm sure it's a beautiful scent, just not my preference
