Troubleshooting

Curls lack definition or appear frizzy after use.

Ensure hair is damp (not dry or soaking wet) when applying. Apply in sections to ensure even distribution, and try using slightly more product on each section. Scrunching hair gently after application can also help activate curl pattern.

Hair feels sticky or heavy after applying the cream.

You might be using too much product for your hair type or length. Try reducing the amount applied, especially at the roots. Also, ensure hair is damp, not wet, to prevent product dilution and uneven absorption.

Hair still feels dry a few hours after styling.

This cream provides moisture, but for maximum retention, it's recommended to 'seal' the moisture. Finish your styling routine by applying a light hair oil (e.g., Cantu's 'Oil Sheen' or a pure oil like jojoba or argan) to lock in the hydration. Reapply a small amount of the cream to dry hair as needed throughout the day.

Unusual scent or product consistency change.

Check the product's expiry date. Ensure it has been stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If these conditions are met and issues persist, discontinue use.
