I love the Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel and love the flaxseed chia combo! It gives me really good hold, cast and curl longevity. It's great for refreshes too. You already know I'm obsessed with the Creme De La Curl Crème.

Store owner replied:
Hi Tilani! Wow — 5 years with IntrinsiCurly Me 💛 Thank you for trusting us with your curls for so long. We’re so glad you added the Just To Clarify Clarifying Shampoo to your routine — it really is a game changer for keeping hair light, fresh, and free. Here’s to many more years of happy, healthy curls! ✨
This is my favourite gel!! Ever!! Since it's launch I have not used anything else! I pair it with the Curly creme and every wash day is successful. It does not give a too heavy cast, which I prefer but my curls are beautiful once it's broken. I love the viscosity* so it's not thick and sticky and it makes it easier to apply to my hair or to touch up smaller sections! It also lasts me for quite some time so worth every cent.
* sorry I"m a chemist so don't know how else to describe it! LOL!
This gel is smells amazing! It's thick enough to define curls & hold hair back in place but soft enough to keep hair feeling smooth after it dries down.
All the other gels I have tried before this have been too thick for my hair and have weighed it down. They have also left my hair feeling tacky and flat. I'm so pleased to finally have found a gel that is lightweight, smells like a summer’s day and leaves my hair feeling buoyant. And its low viscosity means I don't have to use as much each time. One bottle lasts me double as many washes saving me money! What a treat <3

Hi Jemma! This makes us do a happy dance! 💃 Consistent, bouncy, hydrated curls are exactly what we’re here for — thanks so much for sharing!
My hair was badly damaged from color and store bought products. Within a month of using Intrinsicurly, my hair went from dull, lifeless, dry and damaged to shiny, bouncy, healthy and moisturized. My curls love these products and even on days when I am not using the full range, my hair still looks good.
This has become my favourite conditioner. It leaves my hair silky soft. Most days, I have it on for only 5 minutes and it does the trick. But when I do make time to deep condition, I keep it on for much longer and love the results even more. I also LOVE the fact that it comes in such a large pot so I can get every last bit of it out with my fingers.
I was introduced to the IntrinsiCurly Me products at a hair salon that specialises in curly hair - the difference is astounding! My hair has more bounce; feels lighter but with more volume, and overall healthier and more lively. Since using the creamy conditioner, I no longer experience the hair loss and breakage that I used to, when detangling my hair. From the clarifying shampoo, to the co-wash, to the creamy conditioner, and of course the curl custard - Just Amazing!
Intrinsicurly Me is the gold standard hair care for curly hair. It is better than any of the international products I've tried. I can see the difference in my youngest daughter's curly hair, we've used it on her since birth and her hair quality is fantastic.
Intrinsicurlyme conditoner is perfect for the dry, cold Joburg weather, which dries out my already dry and frizzy hair even more ! I use the conditioner as a mask, co-wash and leave in , it’s so versatile . Highly recommend
Intrinsicurly Me is the best product for my curls. I have tried and tested so many different products and intrinsicurly me is supreme! I always get compliments on my hair. I use the cleanser, conditioner, curl crème and gel. Best product on the market!
My curls just love this product! So many products on the market are very heavy and weigh my curls down, but this one adds body and bounce in addition to minimising frizz. Definitely worth trying!
I love how the product enhances my curls. No stickyness, lasts a couple of days until my next wash. My hair looks healthy and shiny.
Absolutely love it. Order and delivery was a breeze.
Store owner replied:
Hi Melissa! That makes us so happy to hear 🥰 Thank you for the love and for choosing us again, we’re so glad your curls have found their perfect match!
I absolutely love IntrinsiCurly Me products! I use the gentle cleanser, creamy conditioner, curl creme and curly hair gel. The cleanser does not cause build up like most other brands. The conditioner gives my hair a soft and healthy feel. And the gel... Well it's the cherry on top! It finishes off all of the hard work that curly hair requires. It creates the cast perfectly and holds my curls for days. I'm talking day 4 and day 5 curls! Combine it with a satin pillowcase or bonnet and your good to go.
I have been using your Curl Crème for about 2 years now and my curls LOVE it! I have never had such defined, long lasting curls. I have tried HUNDREDS of products over the years and have shelves of barely used bottles and tubs. Nothing compares to the IntrinsiCurly Me Curl Crème. I swear by it!
Store owner replied:

Store owner replied:

Love your product! My curls love it even more. So defined and looks healthy! The curls lasts at least 4 days - just spray it with water when I wake up, and it's good to go another day!

I’ve got wavy fine hair which always used to fall flat. However with intrinsy curly me this isn’t the case. The curls remain full and bouncy for a few days.
Store owner replied:
Linda, this is amazing feedback 💛 We love hearing that your fine waves are staying full and bouncy for days!
