Reviews

Loving the curl cream!

"This was my first time trying Odele so I did the whole curls system - shampoo, conditioner, leave in, cream and foam. Absolutely loving everything! My hair is softer, less frizz, and it’s all clean products! Will definitely be buying again!"

Lauren R. (5/5)

love this!

"good hold, not greasy"

Erica J. (5/5)

Great on thin and thick hair!

"This product was tested for two weeks on thin and thick hair. It performed well for both. It surprisingly held moisture and shape all day long on the fine frizz prone hair without feeling greasy- huge plus. On the thick hair, it did require a bit more product but did not feel greasy. It gave soft definition without feeling crunchy. For the price, this product is amazing. It didn't irritate sensitive skin and held up incredibly well."

Jazz (5/5)

Makes my waves defined and glorious!

"I scrunch this cream in right out of the shower while my hair is soaked. What I like most about this product is that it works well in my hair either air dried or with a diffuser. This cream doesn't have that strong of a fragrance but to me smells kind of like melons! If I use it by itself, I get soft wives but if I pair it with a curling gel, they're much more defined."

Annie (5/5)

Great curl definer cream!

"I really love this product for my wavy/curly hair. It feels lightweight and comfortable, never greasy or heavy, and it defines my waves without weighing them down. The smell is amazing, fresh and clean but not overpowering at all. My hair feels soft, hydrated, and easy to manage after using it. Definitely a staple in my routine."

ZGlow (5/5)

Let my hair with great texture!

"In the process of bringing back my natural waves, I decided to try this curl cream and I really like it. I'm using it after showering, on my clean, damp hair. I apply it, scrunch my hair, remove the excess, and let it air dry. I usually don't have much time to style my hair, but with this product, it looks beautiful, defined, and shiny, and I can gradually see my natural waves returning. I'll definitely keep using it!"

Allie (5/5)

Great product, but not a perfect fit for my hair

"After following the application instruction provided on the packaging, I thoroughly enjoyed the scent, which I found to be subtle, clean, and reminiscent of a professional salon or spa experience. Additionally, the lotion-like texture made the product very easy to apply and spread evenly through my hair. However, I found the post-application texture to be slightly sticky, which was less than ideal for my preference."

Ashley (4/5)

Great for Wavy Hair

"I have wavy/loose curly hair and I've always found it difficult to define my very loose curls. I've found that this product works perfectly for me. I apply it to damp hair after washing. It's very lightweight and makes my hair look hydrated and healthy while defining my waves. It does not make my hair look greasy, which I sometimes struggle with with other brands."

Celinajade (5/5)

Good product, just not for fine hair.

"I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and I love it. I had previously been using the Not Your Mothers curl cream and it was too heavy for my hair, causing it to weight down. It doesn't really have a smell which I appreciate. The cast it leaves makes my hair look great all day. I would definitely be buying this product. I've also tried the shampoo and conditioner and it made my hair feel so clean and healthy."

B (3/5)

Worked amazing while feeling luxe

"I started integrating this into my daily routine and it drastically made a difference in my curls. It had a nice light smell and made my curls so pretty. I usually have really bad frizzy fallen curls and this was the perfect help! It felt like a premium product, the packaging was so pretty and easy to use. I would use this again and recommend this to all my curly girl friends!"
