My hair hasn't looked like this good since my twenties, and that was many, many years ago. Every other curl product I've tried left my hair crispy, flat, and within a few hours the curls fell out. I use the Dreamy Hair Cream as a leave-in before applying the Extra Strong Flaxseed Gel, and the combination gives me volume and soft, defined curls that last for days and days. The only thing I wish I could change is the color of the Extra Hold Flaxseed Gel - it is slightly beige/tan in the bottle, most likely due to its being a more natural product, but with my mostly white hair, it leaves behind a beige-y tint on my hair. I have remedied this by mixing a few drops of purple toning liquid with the gel before applying it to my hair, but the toner can be drying and I don't like to use it too much. Other than that, I am truly impressed by these products and have gone ahead and ordered the full sizes. .
