The website describes this product as "A rich and moisturizing styling cream for kinky curls and dreads, or highly textured hair. Style and define your curls or twist locs, while naturally hydrating. Perfect for finger twisting curls! Create defined curls, with maximum moisture and softness. Drys touchably soft and satiny, not sticky or greasy."

Product Ingredients:
Aloe and Chamomile Water, Rice Bran Oil, Shea Butter, Natural Conditioner, Polysorbate 20, Vegetable Glycerin, Capryl Isostearate, Soy Lecithin,Guar Gum, Natural Preservative Optiphin, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Silk Powder.

My Experience:

Twist                                                                Twist Out

This product is available through many vendors. I purchased my from www.afrokinks.com. I purchased it for $19. I believe there was a 20% or 40% sale that weekend I purchased it so that's why I went to afrokinks.com vs blendedbeauty.com.
The products feels tacky like rubber cement. It does go on smooth and hold well. Even though it has a sticky/tacky feel it doesn't dry that way. I had soft, shiny well formed spirals from my twist out. Above are the before an after shots.

It's great for smoothing back fly-aways. A little goes a long way.  It's also great at stretching hair for chunky fros:



My Rating:
Scale is for 4b/4z only:
1- Would never recommend :(
2-
3-It has potential but wouldn't consider buying again
4-
5- Super awesome!!!


4 out of 5. This product is great for sheen. Just make sure you don't use too much otherwise it will get tacky. But if it does get tacky/sticky, just continue to emulsify in hair and it will disappear without the white cloudy effect you sometimes get with shea butter. It's a 3 in one product: moisturizes, hold, and sheen.  It's great for someone that wants to keep their routine simple and heavy enough to soften for 4b/4c hair.


Final Comments
As always, this is just my opinion on this product with my hair. Everyone's hair responds differently to different products and ingredients.
