Humidity can leave curly hair a massive mess. Work this lightweight cream through wet locks and curls will dry smooth and defined. If your hair is extra thick, mix a few drops of the line’s Oil Treatment in for extra control.

Birchbox Breakdown

Curly hair can have a mind of its own, but with the right products you can whip it into shape. amika’s Curl Defining Cream is lightweight enough for summer but hydrating enough for winter, and defines curls without weighing them down. Free of parabens, silicone, and artificial colors, it’s safe for all hair types — even color-treated tresses. We love the convenient pump bottle, with its bright graphic motif.

How it Works

amika uses obliphica (sea buckthorn berry) as the foundation for this taming potion. This wonder ingredient combines forces with vitamins, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids to nourish and sculpt even the most snarled strands.

How to Use

Pump a small amount of product into your hands, scrunch into wet or dry curls, and go.

Ordered for my daughter

I have all the birchbox, Amika products. My daughter has curly hair, do I ordered this for her. She has long, naturally curly hair, and she loves this product. She uses it every day. I highly recommend for anyone with curly hair, or thick hair.

good curl dream

i purchased the full size bottle and used up every drop! My hair is a bit thin and wavy, not heavy curls. With finer hair you do need to be careful not to apply to much, or it can feel a bit oily. Smells wonderful too!

LOVE

I love this stuff. I love the smell, the consistency, almost everything. My only downside is that no matter how much I use, my hair still is super poofy. My curls are really defined though, just puffy.

Overall Good Product

I have a problem with my curly hair having a mind of it's own. I had initially received the amika Obliphica Nourishing Mask, and fell in love with the mask and thought - "Why not?! This one is awesome." It does take some time letting your hair adjust to the "free of" position this product has - no silicone in particular - at first my hair got oily more quickly (I only wash my hair every other day) but once you have gotten used to learning how to apply the product (only ends not roots) it gives you a very "product free" feeling to your hair, it's more manageable and gives your curly a bit more free rein rather than the "fixed" curl look. Overall, great product for the price especially for a more organic product.

Awesome

The first time I used this product, I was amaszed. It took my very long, dirty, sun dried hair and turned it into something I could run a pick through with out pulling any out. Just amazing. I wish I could grow it in my garden.

Curl cream

LOVE LOVE this curl defining cream. It really calms the friz and makes your curl or waves more defined and It smells fantastic to boot. I use it on my hair and even my three year old little girl. Careful not to use too much, it will make your curls look greasy.

I really dig amika's products

Unlike other reviews I don't think this product makes my hair too oily. It does a great job of defining my curls and smoothing out the frizzies and it smells amazing. I highly recommend it.

Awesome product!

A little goes a long way with this stuff for sure. One full pump is way more then enough. The smell is the absolute best, just like all the amika products! I have wavy hair, not curly and this provided alot of frizz control and moisture. It actually took the place of an oil I was using.

love this

This is One of my top products to use on my hair. I love the way it smells and that it doesnt leave my hair hard or dry after using. Amika has become my favorite find in all my birchbox samples.

another curl cream

My hair ha an awkward frizz-curl to it. i just stopped my routine keratin treatments and i still haven't found a cream that tames my hair. This cream worked for couple hours but didn't hold my curl all day and didn't prevent frizz. However it works better than my natural curl.
