Cake Beauty Curl Friend Curl Defining Shampoo, Conditioner & Cream Set - Avocado & Argan Oil Curly Hair Products - Anti-Frizz, Cruelty Free & Vegan Gift Set

Ok. So I have been using these, along with their separately purchased leave in conditioner, for a month now. I have type 2B-2C, medium course, fairly thick, no dyes/no heat styling, naturally gray(but it is actually blonde, who knew?), 60 year old, Irish girl wavy/curly hair. My honest review: it smells nice, but not overpowering and it doesn't hang around all day. It feels nice on your hair and rinses clean. The conditioner is pretty good at doing the job. The curl cream is good, but don't over-do it, especially if you also used a leave-in conditioner first. A little goes a long way if you apply to appropriately wet hair and brush it through well. My hair is left feeling soft, not weighed down, not frizzy, and managable. I will be buying this again and I would recommend it to family and friends. And, I actually love the leave-in conditioner and will be using it exclusively, even if I use other shampoo/conditioners.

This line of products, in general, is superb (if you can stand the very overwhelming scent, which is pleasant, but strong). I purchased the mousse a while ago, loved it and came back for the rest of the line. Doesn’t leave your hair/curls “crispy”, but soft and pretty. Great product for second (and third) day hair. It works!

Love this stuff. Smells so good and leaves my hair feeling so natural and soft.

I like the conditioner and the leave in, they both smell great and provide adequate moisture. It could be a little more moisturizing for me. What I don’t like is the shampoo. It cleanses fine, but it smells weirdly like stale cigarettes miked with cake. I grosses me out too much to use.

I like the product. It leaves your curly hair, curly and soft. I don’t like the smell and I’m not sure why it has to smell this way. Years ago my hairstylist used a conditioner that was protein packed. This shampoo & conditioner has that smell. It’s not the worst. I just don’t see the point of a rough smell. Other than this so far… good stuff.

After 1 wash, it was amazing! I love the lemon scent and it made my hair super soft and gave volume at the top! Hoping after every wash its the same! But super impressive! I used the shampoo, conditioner and cream enhancer before I diffused. I even posted about this product on my facebook

The smell to me isn't bad but I don't love it. It smells like a lemon cake. The scent is strong but goes away quickly before I even rinse it out. My hair feels very clean after, maybe a little too squeaky clean but it doesn't feel dry. The conditioner feels heavy when applied but rinses immediately leaving zero residue. For me this is not a problem because I also use a leave in and have super short hair. When I had long hair it would have been a problem because it doesn't leave any slip. If I don't use any other products in my hair my curl pattern literally disappears which is very odd because even straightening my hair doesn't get rid of the curl pattern, especially in the back. It's left with a slight wave. I would love to know what ingredient is doing this. The curl cream is heavy and leaves my hair sticky with a weird film. My curl pattern does return with the curl cream. I will not continue using the cream because my regular mousse (the doux mousse def) does a much better job with no residue. With only the shampoo and conditioner my hair is soft and I have little to no frizz which is a plus because I struggle with frizz. Because my hair is so short I will continue to use it but I will never buy it again because I like my curl pattern and don't really know what to do with my hair without it.

2 stars. Reason is it smells horrible all 3 products. I was so excited to buy this when i bought the mousse. I absoutely love the mouse. Smells amazing and works great. Which made me want to try other products. Yes the hair is clean but the smell is awful. It does have a slight lemon smell but its overpowered by a diffrent scent that smells like puke. I would not recommend this set.

OMG the smell! Incredible!

bought this after i discovered the brand cake who makes amazing hand creams alao makes hair care products. its been a week and i have uaed it twice and my hair which is course and crazy curly is now almost silky smooth and managable curls. plus the products smell amazing and ita not tested on animalsand another bonus its made in Canada. its a huge win win win!!! Just ordered thw body and hair mist... if the hand creams and the hair products are any indication... i think i have found my new favorites for my hair & skin care :)

The photo is misleading. It shows the "lemon meringue scent" for all three products. Yet mine came as "Delicate lemon cookie" for the shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately the "Delicate lemon cookie" scent is gross and makes me gag when I grudge use it. The "lemon meringue" scent is really nice though! So far I am happy with the products, (aside from scent). Cleans my scalp nicely with no irritation or itching afterwards (sensitive skin). I have wavy hair, not curly, but this does help promote my natural wave. I would buy it again, but the "lemon meringue" scent ones 😉.

Now I don't have curly hair, but I do have some natural wave and wanted to see if this would give it a boost and boy did it. Shampoo lathers well, conditioner be cautious on how much you use a little goes a long way, and the curl defining same thing a little goes a long way. I just let my hair air dry, and i get some good wave action, way more than without it. My only thing is the smell, not a fan of the "lemon cookie" scent. It doesn't smell like lemon or cookie....whoever made up the scent might want to get their nose checked!!

WHAT!?!??? WOW!!!! I was wanting to buy this product for a while now but I kept putting it off because I have so many others. I should have bought this way earlier but I'm glad I bought it now and this is my now go to curl shampoo and conditioner. It smells absolutely amazing and the smell stays in the hair. It looks pretty which doesn't really matter but it looks good. Wanted to just try the shampoo and conditioner with no product and no routine to see what it did to my hair and how it felt. I have wavy curly hair and I can't even believe what just the shampoo and conditioner did to my hair with no routine or product. I have ringlets I literally brushed my hair once and let it air dry and my hair is Curly and wavy and soft and beautiful and this is the most my hair has ever curled like this. BUY BUY BUY!!! 10/10 Highly recommend
