My Experience:
I have tightly coiled 4b hair and I used the stretching cream on wet and on dry hair to set my hair in flat twists for a flat twist out.

Fragrance:
The fragrance was interestingly pleasant. It smelled like yummy cake batter.

Results:
I was so happy with this product because my hair was happy with it. When I applied the product to my hair it went on smooth and coated my very well. As I twisted my hair there was a white residue that dried clear.

I used this product to style my hair wet and also dry.  My results were a little bit better when I used this product on wet hair as opposed to dry hair.  When I used it on my wet hair for my flat twists, I could see the shine on my flat twists and was very excited to see what kind of hold I would get when my hair dried. The next day my flat twist out had a strong hold that I easily softened as I manipulated my hair with my hands. The curl definition was impressive. My hair was shiny and moisturized.

My hair styled on dry hair

When I used it on my dry hair for my flat twist, my flat twists were bouncy and shiny but it didn’t feel soft to the touch. My ends felt and looked a bit rough and crunchy. There was good definition and very little frizz.

Moisture:
My hair felt much more moisturized after using this product on wet hair.  It didn’t feel as moisturized when used on dry hair.

Price: For the price you get a ton of product and a little of this product does go a long way. I am heavy handed and I have alot of hair. I used this product twice and I have enough product to last me years.

Final Thoughts:
This product gives a medium to hard hold, so keep that in mind. The benefit of having a product with hold is that your curl definition will be amazing and there will be very little frizz.  If you have been looking for a styling product that will give you defined, shiny, moisturized hair, this is it.
It would be nice if they had a smaller size. For someone who may want to try the product out. Or a nice travel size for me to take with me on vacation.
