Curling Custard — Reddit Reviews
by Kinky Curly
Updated November 3, 2026
Aloe-pectin custard defines waves, controls frizz, and holds softly; sticky when overapplied.
What the community says
This aloe-based, pectin-containing styler works best scrunched through soaking-wet hair, giving waves and curls definition without crunch. It suits wavy hair needing lightweight hold, but the learning curve is real: too much leaves hair sticky or difficult to scrunch out.
