(Sulfate-Free/Paraben-Free/No Mineral Oil/No Petrolatum)

Label states: "Say goodbye to frizz, unruly curls and lifeless coils. Define, shape and control curls, waves, coils and braid-outs, while adding moisture, shine and natural conditioning.

Unruly curls and coils --  meet your match! Aunt Jackie's Curl La La delivers long-lasting control and definition to curls, waves, coils, frizzy hair and braid outs. Moisture-rich and blended with natural ingredients for healthier looking and feeling ringlets. Curl La La won't cause build-up, flake or leave hair feeling stiff and dry. Use a little or a lot to create soft, elongated, bouncy curls and waves, tight, scrunchy curls, or springy coils."

Directions: "Apply generously to wet or dry hair. Gently massage into scalp and work through hair from roots to ends. Style as desired. For tight scrunchy curls or coils, blow dry hair on a light setting with a diffuser. For elongated, stretchy, bouncy curls and waves, apply and then finger style hair into place while blow drying on a light setting, or allow hair to air dry."

As directed, I've tried both options of air drying and diffusing. If asked which of both options would I recommend for the wavey curls? Definitely go with the option of diffusing. Without question. Women with wavey curls know for a fact, if they are loyal to a diffuser, that a diffuser does wonders for those waves. Wonders like keeping the locks in place and much tighter than being let air dried. But, then again, depending on your liking, I prefer my waves tight. Tight as can be! Yes ma'am!

My air drying experience was sweet but, not as tight as I wanted them to be. Instructions do state that they will be elongated when air dried as well. That is precisely what occurred. If you have curly to tight curly hair, I recommend both experiences. With waves, they tend to become tighter with a diffuser and elongate when air dried. Not for the curly headed. At least, this is my theory, by experimenting and witnessing.

Before applying the product, I washed my hair with just a sulfate free shampoo. No conditioning. I chose not to condition because this product already includes it's conditioning duties. I then toweled dried my hair and parted my locks in five rows. Next, I brushed my damp hair with a wide tooth comb and applied a quarter size amount to each row. Twirling then allowing locks to air dry. The same process was done with my diffusing experiment. No crunching was necessary, unless you would like to, you can.

The custard does not leave a gel like feel- although, it very much holds like one. As soon as your hair is dried, it tends to feel as if you've used a product on your hair but without that stiffness that mousses or gels leave behind. There is absolutely no crunchy sound, crunchy feel or flaking. The scent to the custard is almost fruity/alcohol-y, and it's feel is very light. Certainly, after my experimenting with my Curl La La, I will be including this along with my weekly hair regimens.
