i did not hate it but [SEP] i think this is great for someone who has type curls that are on the thicker side my daughter has curls but more leaning towards and this makes her hair matte after it dries its not that great her hair is also quite thin so i think the oils in those products might be a little too heavy for her i love the curling custard but the leave in does not seem super conditiong it does give a lot of slip though if you use too much it does leave a little white residue
