Wanted: Curl Clumping Leave In Conditioner Recs

[Soaring Eagle]

Shea Moisture JBCO Leave In, clumps my curls like nothing else I've tried.

 

[Alma Petra]

At WalMart I just saw a gorgeously defined wng using the Renpure Coconut Leave In (not the gel).

@Alma Petra, I have an unused bottle of Whiz Frizz I can send, if you like. I have no review of it. Sawwy.

I'll DM you tonight.

Awww that would be so kind of you dear! It did definitely catch my eye with the claims and the ingredients list. But why did you never try it?

What do you all mean when you say "clump" curls?

What do you all mean when you say "clump" curls?

To make a group of hair strands stick together and spiral together in a coordinated fashion instead of chaotically. The end result should be thick defined curls.

Here are a few examples:

The Frizz Whiz seems promising, ingredient wise. *adds to list*

I purchased 2 bottles. I tried it. But I did not use it solo: I just applied it in the shower after rinsing out my deep conditioner. I used the praying hands method. I briefly looked at my hair to see how hydrated/moisturized/conditioned it felt with the Frizz Whiz. I wasn't really using it for definition, so I wasn't checking for that.

It did a decent job of leaving my hair feeling moisturized, but nothing that wowed me. And, because I quickly after that had decided to move to an ayurvedic regimen, I knew it wasn't going to a repurchase.

Perhaps if I had used it very carefully to shingle every strand I would have been wowed.

Right now I'm in a place where I want the first thing to hit my strands post-wash to be the Jakeala Shea Amla Parfait, because it contains lots of good ayurvedic ingredients that I want to go straight to my strands. So I'm really not using leave in right now.

I bought a Renpure conditioner this week hoping it would work as a leave in. It was a big fail.

I gave Renpure another shot. It seems to work better when paired with a butter, then topped with gel. Still not a great clumper, but good enough for two strand twists.

@CurlyRy posted this in another thread and I was shocked with the performance of her leave in. I need something that will work like this!



She used Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Leave In and I've already added it to the list of leave ins to try.

I'm adding this to my list too! I have an eden body works product but I think it's a styler.

I didn't like the creme brûlée. It didn't do anything for me.

I don't know why Curls products get poor reviews all the time. I was checking them out in the Natural Curly store reviews. Was it terrible or just meh?

More like meh. Like it doesn't do a thing. I loved when they were private label. Their conditioner was bomb

Curls blueberry bliss leave-in is really good, along with the gel and curl control paste. The creme brulee products were a disappointment.

OP, not sure if you're still looking for a conditioner but I just tried the Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream and I'm in love! Aaaaaamazing definition, it's a conditioner/cream with a slight hold so it's not crunchy and it smells pretty awesome too! Their leave-in alone never really did much for my hair but this curling cream maaaaaaaan. It's the business, bout to go stock up lol
