From The Pros: After hair styling, let hair dry completely before shaking out curls to help define curls and reduce frizz. On Day 2, 3 (and beyond): mist Curl Reactivator to freshen, moisturize, and redefine curls. Then, style with Curl Defining Styling Cream. For optimal results, work in small sections and apply an even amount of Curl Defining Styling Cream from roots to ends.

My daughter uses this we used to by it at our salon but then discovered it at Ulta Beauty which is closer to our home. But when we purchased it from Ulta it is yellow in color instead of white. but it's the same bottle that we bought at our salon. Is it supposed to be different color? I am talking about the actually cream not the bottle. Thank you

High shine, soft touchable curls
I am a curly girl who has embraced her curls since her teenage years, so it takes a lot to impress. The Bumble and Bumble bb Curl defining cream is definitely worthy of praise.

Combined with Gel Oil, it adds enough structure to my curly hair. It last for days.
Better than sex
I hate to report that this is my holy grail hair product. Why do I hate to report this? Well… the price is ridiculous. But for my hair-this is it. I get fairy princess multi day ringlet curls (using the twist and scruch method) that smell incredible. I've been using it for over a decade and I always end up coming back to it. I'm white with thick type 2 waves and curls. Everyone's hair is different but for me this is it!
