The curl cream is so light and keeps the hair curly all day long. I'll surely be purchasing more, been using it for a while and I can recommend it to everyone

I love Kreyol products. They perform as described, and often even better. I have 3a/3b hair which oddly enough is difficult to identify the right amount of moisture and oil. Kreyol has a winning formula.
