Questions & Answers for Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Defining Creme

Question
How does this work on Wavy Hair?
My hair tends to have random waves in it. If I use mousse, hairspray, and a diffuser, it looks fairly curvy and even. BUT it also tends to look crunchy or wet. Do you think this would be a good substitute for me?

Yes, I had much the same problem before I used this product! It defines curls evenly (particularly if you apply it while the hair is completely wet and hasn't had time to dry into curls yet) without making them look either greasy or crunchy. In fact, it makes my hair feel softer.

Yes - give it a try. I have hair that is curly in some places and only wavy in others. I use this on those wavy areas to get the curl to agree with the rest of my head - work like a charm.

I think this would do wonders for your hair, you could always use the Curl re activator as well whenever you need that fresh wet look. If this doesnt work keep on experimenting with other BB products like Texture maybe. Trust me something will work and u will LOOOVE it. I think BB is the best brand for curly wavy hair there is on the market!

Yes, I have thick medium long hair that is wavier underneath and in the back and this product helped keep the waves in the front of my hair from pulling down and had them looking more consistent all over.

YES!! It's a great substitute and the best part is your hair won't be crunchy from the mousse!! If you manually curl sections of your hair and use the diffuser you'll get beautiful loose curls. It will also work without curling, you just won't have as much definition. Good luck!!

My hair has random waves too - like the under side is super wavy and the top just looks like it has a kink in it if left to do what it wants.

I work this through, then twist my hair section by section (while wet) into tight ringlets (take about the same amount of hair as you would put in a curling iron to make curls). Then diffuse or air dry. You will have a full head of even, well defined curls. But keep it away from your roots! Put it in the bottom half to 2/3 of your hair strands.

I have wavy hair and I didn't see any definition in my waves. Instead it got straight. The smell wasn't that great either. I don't recommend, in fact I suggest you try it first. (Brilliantine/Grooming Cream worked better)

Only if you use a lot on very wet hair. A small amount in damp hair will just soften, define and smooth.

Not at all! I use this product on my wavy/curvy hair daily. Never has my hair felt crunchy. I use the lite version. Rinse my hair, comb with a wide-toothed comb, work in a 1" strip of the product throughout my medium length hair. Great results!

As long as you are fine with having your hair bold, then I would as it will definitely help hold the curls.

No. I have a pretty similar hair style to what you're describing (though my hair is more curly) and I haven't had much success with it. I believe it's not really intended for thicker hair.

What does this smell like?
I read a review on the CC conditioner & someone said it smelled herbally "like tea tree"...I don't live near a salon or sephora that sells these products so I can't go smell them for myself. can someone describe what this product smells like, & if it's strong?

I don't think it smells like much of anything... kind of like a "fragrance free" body lotion. I smell it when I put it on, but once my hair is dry, I can only smell my shampoo.

To my nose, this smells very lightly of sweet flowers, not tea tree (which I would describe as more herbal or astringent) at all. The smell is very faint and dissipates quickly - I can't smell it all by the time my hair dries (I let it air dry, so maybe an hour later). I have to say I don't like strong, perfumey smells in my hair, and I love this product.

The product definitely smells good, but not in an overpowering way. (I don't think it smells anything like tea tree oil, though). While it's a bit hard to describe, I would say that overall the creme smells like a salon. You know, when you open the doors to a salon and are hit with that rush of smell-good-hair-products?

Question
for straight hair?
I have super straight hair that barely holds a curl, and I'm wondering if this product would help to induce some sort of waves with my stick straight hair. If this product isn't right is there another product you'd recommend for someone desperate wanting some curl in their life?

I think this product is to define existing curls. If you have pin straight hair and have never seen a natural curl or wave, I would highly recommend that you do not use this product. It could potentially make your hair too oily since the product is to thick. I would suggest using a light moose or gel because it won't weigh your hair down or make it look like you haven't washed your hair.

I have fairly straight hair myself... A little wave but I need product for it to come out. This stuff isn't going to weigh down your hair.. It's pretty light but it will hold a curl. I get compliments all the time when I use it. You should def give it a try. You should also try beach bomb by AG. It works pretty well too... But this tops it.

No. Try a mouse or gel type product that will give better hold and definition when hair is wet. Dry with a diffuser while scrunching!

I have wavy hair, so I can't seak from experience, but I don't think thi shas nearly enough holding power to induce curls in straight hair. My advice is something you've probably heard: mousse and hot rollers. You put some mousse (enough to add hold, but not enough to be crunchy) in your hair when it's damp, dry it, then use hot rollers (really let them cool completely in the hair). Comb through with your fingers and set with a light hairspray (or a strong one!). Good luck!!

How does this compare to Deva Curl's AnGel?
I was wondering how this product compared to Deva Curl's AnGel. I use Deva Curl almost everyday and I like it alright, but sometimes it still leaves my hair frizzy and undefined.
Has anyone used both products? Does one work better that the other?

I have used both and strongly prefer the B&B curl creme. The DevaCurl one made my hair lose volume and the curls just kind of hung lifelessly. Complete opposite with B&B - I have great volume, well-defined curls, and no frizz.

I hate AnGel for just that reason, it has ZERO control! This has light control. I add a little Ouidad Climate Control Gel to hold things together but I do live in the humidity capital of the country!
