Great moisture and shine but average hold

Posted by Unknown on 15th May 2012

I was so excited to try this product on my fine 3c hair! When it arrived I thought the smell was wonderful, very citrusy. I followed the directions on the bottle and saturated my hair with the CIAB. Big mistake, my hair looked greasy and flat. I tried again the next time using much much less and the results were wonderful - shiny, bouncy, moisterised curls. I did wear this product on top of the Shea Butter Curl Enhancing Smoothie as a side note. I love that you can layer this. Didn't give it a five as I still have to apply Eco gel to the crown of my head as the frizz is not decreased in this area. Kind of bummed about that
***WOW** 4a/b

I bought this on a whim. I wanted to try something different and watching all the reviews on youtube, i took the plunge. I DO NOT REGRET IT. It really softens my hair and leaves it amazingly touchable. It's getting hotter, and my hair always suffers in the heat, regardless of my healthy hair practices - this baby puts the pro in protection and the soft in softness. It de-frizzes a bit, but i dont have issues with frizz to any large extent. i heart this product and i will buy again :)
Not convinced it suits my hair type 2b/c

Day one is good but after that it seems to make my hair straighter and duller! Lovely smell and maybe I need som other products that will hold my fragile baby type
Not what I expected but great for second and third day curls! (botticelli/3b curls)

Posted by Virginie Frenchie curlie on 1st Mar 2012

Hey fellow curlies,

I bought this product as it was in the best seller, so thought I would give it a try (with a lot of hope in it). For my Botticelli/3b long hair, this didn't give me enough hold, and felt my hair was left a bit dry. For me who like all in one products that you can use alone, this wasn't good at all. However, since I had the (big!) bottle, I thought I would still try to find a way to use it.
So now, I use it to revive my 2nd/3rd day hair. I use a 50p size amount which I water down in my hands and apply it to my hair, crunching through my hair. I sometimes repeat this a second time to cover all sections. I let it to hair dry and my curls look defined again without the dryness.
So, not such a let down after all :)
Not too sure myself...

I decided to buy this product as I don't like anything heavy on my hair. It was kind of light but not light enough. I found that it left my hair looking a bit flaky and the product didn't mix in my hair as it should. Maybe I'm not doing it right, but it didn't work for me.
great if you know how

Posted by Unknown on 3rd Feb 2012

This is one of those that you need to work out how it works best for your hair - and when you do work it out, woowzers have your curls looking amazing and at their best.
When I first tried this I was disappointed with the consistency and instantly thought this runny gel like stuff is not gonna work, its not creamy enough for my dry hair and it conjured up thoughts of crispy flyaway crunchy curls.
So i tried it with a leave-in conditioner applied first so my hair was moisturised enough. (I use CJ curl-fix as a leave in)
Then i applied curls in a bottle to style. and I tell you I don't think my 3c curls have ever had so many compliments from strangers and friends on a daily basis. my hair looks really full, defined curls, no frizz, and healthy looking. And no crispiness - as long as you don't use too much anyway.
Thank you British Curlies!
YUCK!

other products from this line worked ok -for a short time in my hair - but this.. this left my hair going wavy instead of my ringlets, frizzy, knotty with tangles its horrible horrible, and its such a huge bloomin blottle too.. lol learn my lesson not to purchase from this line ever again, sorry!
a nice surprise

Posted by Unknown on 21st Jan 2012

this pretty well does what it says. i still get frizz on my 3a/b botticeli curls with this, and have to sqeeze out extra product after i saturate or else it *can* be too heavy but it smells like gardenias! best product yet for me.
Amazingggg! 3b

I use this over my KCCC it just works wonders I have never had 5 day hair that was somewhat frizz-free, I used it with Giovanni direct leave-in and also works great giving me a shiny tamed look, love Curl Junkie
Wow!

My curls have been looking really dull, dry and generally lacking oomph. I've been using a mousse for years now, so thought I'd make a change, and after much research and trying loads of different products, I finally ordered this. I was a bit worried to discover that 'curls in a bottle' was a liquid gel! Gel stylers almost always leave my fine hair flat crunchy and dry. Not this stuff! I am very impressed, no crunchiness or stickiness, just moisturised and bouncy curls. My curls have definitely got their oomph back!
At last something that does what it says!

Posted by Unknown on 13th Sep 2011

After using curls rock by tigi for years my curls started to drop and I needed to find a new product! Untold amounts of mousses, gels and other failed products later I found reviews for curls in a bottle and thought I'd give it a go!
Have to admit when I saw the thin liquid substance I started to think there was no way in hell thats holding my thick curls!
Well after defusing my hair as normal all I can say is I was speechless! My curls were the curliest I've seen them in ages!
I'd say if your reading this thinking it wont work on your hair to give it a go I was amazed!
Loving it and will be buying more!
Soft smooth defined voluminous curls...perfect!

After trying Curl Junkies Curl Queen and finding that it worked well but left very obvious white residue in my hair i decided to give this a go as it sounded slightly lighter consistency and it is perfect! For my fine but very curly hair it smooths and defines without weighing it down or leaving any residue...just what i want! I would definitely recommend to someone with hair that can't take heavy products.
Fantastic!

I have naturally curly hair which is a pain to deal with bevquse of frizz. I can safely say that i trued practically all products on the market. Roberto gionini products are good but lately my hair seemed really dull. This one is wonderful. It makes my curles shiny, healthy looking with more bounce and energy. Its worked very well for me. I just ordered 2 more bottles!
FAB

i have never used a gel always moouse the same product for years, after a bad spell with my hair decided to try this out, i didnt think it would be that good but it is. i only need a small amount compared to the moouse i was putting in my hair. no sticky or hardness off curls, my curls are full bouncy and full of life. i even tried it out on my dad's hair for a laugh and it done wonders for his curly hair too will be buying again thanks x
Excellent product for my 3b hair

Posted by singing curly (M) on 24th Feb 2011

This product is easy to distribute, has a lovely delicate fragrance,leaves the hair shiny and moisturised and doesn't dry crunchy. It doesn't control frizz as well as curl keeper does in my opinion ( although it's very close)but then the hair dries with more volume and is more moisturised. I'll try it on top of curl keeper next time, that should give me ultimate frizz control! There are only 2 reasons I haven't given this 5 stars:
1: I'm comparing it with Curlisto's structura lotion which as far as I'm concerned is the best product ( in combination with control 2 gel)I've ever used
2: I need to use this in conjunction with curlisto's control 2 gel (any control gel would do I imagine) to get more hold since it has little of it on it's own.
AMAZING STUFF!!!

Posted by Laura on 4th Jan 2011

This stuff is brilliant! Like most curlies, I have spent a fortune in the search for the perfect product for my hair and I have finally found it in Curl Junkies' "Curls in a Bottle". Since the discontinuance of VO5's Nourishing Creme I have tried numerous leave in conditioners, serums, curl gels and cremes. Nothing has EVER worked this well. I have Type 3a/b hair with low porosity and products tended to just sit on my hair and make it either crisp or look wet. I recently cut my hair short again (chin length) as I like it best that way and was suffering dreadfully from static! Never a good look! "Sod it!" I thought, "this stuff is pricey, but if it works it'll be worth it!" For me it is WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD...no static, no frizz, no crunch, minimal hold...in short: PERFECT. In fact this is the only stuff I have ever used which has allowed me to wear my hair down the following day after washing! I cannot speak highly enough of this stuff. Even the extortionate postage was worth it as it arrived so quickly...I will be ordering 2 bottles next time as I have a penchant for falling in love with products that are set to be discontinued, and it would be a crime to curls if this stuff wasn't around forever. LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU!!!
Pretty good

At first I didn't know for what I could possibly use this product. It didn't work alone for me, because it didn't give me enough hold. Combined with CJCCCLite it gave me a wet look eventhough my hair was dry. But it is great a finishing product. It is very liquid and thin, kind of like a serum. I'd buy it again!
It will make your curls pop!

Posted by Janja (3b-c) on 23rd Nov 2010

This gel has a light, fresh smell and also a light consistency that is easy to distribute through hair. It makes my curls pop and my hair never feels greasy with this one. If I wear it on its own, my hair will feel dry though. I also feel it reduces my volume (which I don't want). Overall it is a good buy, but you will need something under it in order to make your hair feel at its best.
perfect

Posted by Unknown on 26th Aug 2010

I love this, I now use it on its own after rinsing my hair. It dries quick, no crunch, dries shiny and frizz free, soft hair all day. I do not need to use loads, so lasts a long time. I have fine 3a ish hair.
A great curl enhancer!

Posted by CrystalTips on 3rd Apr 2010

I love Curl Junkie! I love the fact that the products (for me) do what they say they will do! Curls in a Bottle gives me great curls! I use over a leave in and under a 'holding' gel - although this product does give me some hold on its own, so I don't need to use as much gel over it! It does have a 'serum' feel to it but more 'slippery' and less 'sticky' than a serum - which is a big plus! I use this product if I want my curls to really pop!
