Kinky-Curly

I can't live without it. The price has crept up, but a bottle lasts months. Soft, shiny, detangled and frizz-free; it's oil-free and weightless, so there's no buildup, and the ingredient list is short.

Too much moisture: major halo frizz, and my curls didn't last longer than a couple of hours.

The only conditioner that has ever detangled my fine curly hair. It saves time and breakage, and I'd be stuck if it were discontinued.

My holy grail gel. I hate the price, but I can't do without it and nothing cheaper compares. I go through a tub every 1-2 months, and it must be diffused on my very fine hair.

It used to be my holy grail, but my last two tubs turned white and flaked off badly once dry. I suspect the formula changed, and I've stopped buying it.

The best clarifying and chelating shampoo: gentle, and it doesn't dry my hair out, but strips off the gunk.

I love it, but $23 is too much. My routine: As I Am cowash or a weekly clarifying shampoo, Cantu curl activator cream, mousse at the roots, a gloss of Kinky Curly gel, scrunch with microfibre, diffuse, and break the cast with curl oil.

I loved it, but the price went from $25 on sale (regularly $34 CAD) to $50; it was my first product ever. I'm saving the last pot for special occasions.

I prefer it (KCC) for holding through humidity, but it's very pricey.

I buy it in bulk from Walgreens.com when it's on sale ($19.99 vs $22.99 at Target).

Kinky Curly works much better for my hair than Oribe, despite the extra drying time.

A fantastic brand and my hair loves it. I wish it were more affordable and in more shops (only sometimes at Target or Walgreens).

One of the few curly gels without hydrolysed wheat protein, so my choices are limited; I'm frustrated by the price but will keep buying.

My favourite, and I've never found one as good, but it costs 36 euros in France for a small jar, so I can't buy it.

It costs at least AUD $50–60 for 8oz plus postage here; I haven't found anything equally good and cheaper.

An underrated hidden gem for 16 years, but I gave up on it recently because of the price (it used to be $13).
