Tomorrow is wash day. Other reviews say the shrinkage is massive, so I think I'll stretch the roots while it dries or somethin...

Will let ya'll know...

Well, I'm lettin y'all know my review:

Use: applied to dripping wet hair after wash/dc. Used about 1tblsp or a little more straight up--No other product under or on top. Raked through with finers.

Pros: defined well. Major shine, did not dry greasy. Smells sweet like candy.

Cons: was TOO shiny--even though not greasy, it LOOKED greasy. Took 3 hours to air dry my twa!! I can't imagine how long on thick sl or longer.

Complications: after 3 hrs I ran my fingers through it and noticed breaking! Washed immediately. Still breakage and now ssk. Will dust this weekend.

Recommendations: for fine fragile hair like mine, pass on the Custard. Also pass if you are bothered by shrinkage. My twa is almost 3" now (nl stretched). It practically looked like a fade after it was almost dried.

I am still experience minor breakage ~5days and a wash later! And it was on only 3 hours.

I threw the jar away. Thank goodness it wasn't even $4! Ugh.

I tried this product. I wouldn't use it for a wash and go, but it gave me a nice soft hold for a twist out.

For all the UK ladies, I just found Let's Jam Custard in the Pak Cosmetics store in Walthamstow. I imagine it must be available in all the Pak stores now.

I did a wash & go with this stuff last night.

Absolutely terrible. Curl definition is fine, but that's never a problem for me.

The smell is overwhelming and my hair feels coated and sticky.

My hair is also very greasy feeling. I used it on top of a little grapeseed oil, the same way I style all of my wash & gos. When I say a little grapeseed oil, I mean a dime sized amount per section: 8 sections total.

Ugh. I want to wash my hair so bad right now. I'll probably have to tonight.

I liked it for about 5 minutes and still have a container sitting in my junk box. Its too greasy and left my hair completely coated. Its only half way decent on last day hair protective styles like buns or something.

Horrible. Made my hair start breaking within hours of application. Went right in the trash.

Tried it and very impressed so far hair is super soft yet defined
Once I wash it out ill know for sure If its a keeper
But If my wash experience is good it will replace my Eco styler
