My hair is pretty curly, I would say 3B and there is no other product that I like more than this to shape my dry and frizzy curls. Make sure you don't apply too much, a little goes a long way. Just...

20 years ago, I went to a salon that sold A/G hair care back when the company was relatively unheard of where I live. As a result, I have used most of their products including Re:coil on and off...

Re:coil curl activator gives my waves nice definition, controls frizz pretty well, and doesn't dry my 2c hair into stiff crunchy curls.

Although this product is supposed to be a curl booster & smoother, it seemed to do the exact opposite. I tried this multiple different ways-- on its own, with a gel, with a leave-in, air dried,...

Great product for my fine, wavy hair if thin it out a bit with water and then apply. Expensive though. I get similar results with Mark Anthony curl cream, which is about $10 cheaper.

I love this product. It gives my curls so much definition and holds them so well. The only bad thing is that it doesnt control frizz at all, so i have to use super strength frizz serums before,...

I've been using Bumble & Bumble Styling Creme and BB Gel, which are good, but I needed something with more hold. A/G Recoil definitely had more hold, but it was also a little stiff and greasy (not...

I love this stuff! My hair is coarse, with 3a curls that lately have looked more like a frizz collection. AG Recoil mixed with some leave-in conditioner worked wonders on my very long, very thick...

Yay! I'm liking this cream a lot! And it's free of silicones! I have fine, curly hair, and this product does not weigh it down or make it limp, and it defines all the different curl types on my...

I bought this to see if it would give my wavy hair more curl. It didn't. I think it might work for others. It left my hair crunchy too. I returned it and got AG Details instead. So far I like it,...

I have normal hair, more straight than wavy. This product smells so good, so so good, but it leaves a thick buildup on your hair, and doesn't enhance the wavy in my hair.
