   I love their styling products. It's all I buy. I use the volume foam and curl soufflé.

   Two pumps of the protein foam near the scalp, left in (part of her routine). Generally finds Curlsmith styling products too heavy.

   Hi OP, I'm fine, thin, 2b, med porosity. I like some Curlsmith styling products but they're generally too heavy for me. After I shampoo and rinse out conditioner, I hang my head upside down and put two pumps of the protein foam in the hair near my scalp and leave in. Into two separate Flair spray bottles (the kind with extra fine mist) I have diluted some of the Culsmith Air Dry leave in and Trelux Reflex. I then spray the diluted CS Air Dry then Reflex on my mid-lengths and squish. I also use the CS Flexi gel. Either of those two diluted products are also good for refreshing. Good luck.

   The volume foam was ok.

   I hated the flexi jelly - it has almost no hold and made my hair feel sticky. Waste of money IMO. I would never just buy an entire lines recommendation of products. Try things one at a time as you likely don't need 4 products anyhow. I do like some of their deep conditioners and the shape up aqua gel and the volume foam was ok but overall I am not loyal to their products - I prefer some living proof and ouidad options. Learning product application techniques are really going to the heavy lifting more so than the specific products you use.

   Meh. Loved foam and mousse the first time but could never recreate it.

   Love the souffle and fragrance free gel. Volume foam and protein gel are meh. Volume mousse is okay. I remember LOVING both their foam and mousse the First time I tried them but could never recreate it again. I like the fragrance free leavein okay. Didn’t love the fragrance free shampoo and conditioner. Absolutely hated in shower style fixer and hold me softly style balm. Also strongly dislike the miracle shield

   I'm considering switching out basically my entire routine to that of Curlsmith, once I have money for it. I did their quiz and suppose I should probably follow their suggestions, but want to hear more opinions about them. I recently bought the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly, Air Dry Cream and Volume Foam from them, but have yet to try them out. Thinking of buying the Miracle Shield if I can find it, since summer is coming. For the record, I have fine, thin hair that's probably medium to high porosity. I think 2B when styled properly. Struggle with lack of volume (probably too much/heavy products now and in need of a trim) and frizz. Update: Alright. I haven't used it all that much, but I personally like the smell a lot. The Hydro Style Flexi Jelly? Definitely creates hold/a cast. I should probably look into some oil to soften it up, but I kind of like the cast? 😂 Air Dry Cream feels nice and soft. Volume Foam, I'm unsure of.

   Leaves my hair really tacky.

   Sometimes I can find Curlsmith products discounted at Marshall’s. They are usually about half off. I’m ok with paying that amount. Not worth the full price I have 2b/2c medium porosity hair. The in shower style fixer and volume moose leave my hair really tacky. Hydro flex jelly looks good for one day. Hold is gone by day two. The shampoo/conditioner’s seem decent.

   Cannot stand the way the pink mousse makes my hair feel - insanely hard and starched.

   I have used a variety of their products over the years with hit or miss results. The Hydro Flex Jelly is my all time favorite product - it works wonders for my hair. I also like the air dry cream. However, I cannot stand the way the pink mousse makes my hair feel. I bought it recently looking for more volume, but it makes my hair so insanely hard and starched feeling. Just got a few other products I’m trying out; have used their shampoo/conditioner on and off. I have fine 2b/2c hair.
