The coconut oil and jojoba provide great hydration and a healthy shine. It's safe for my little one, which is a huge relief. The cream isn't sticky or greasy, and a little goes a long way. Even after a day of play, my child's hair stays soft and tamed. The light coconut scent is a lovely bonus!"

This gel is affordable and feels amazing on my curls. I just put a small drop on my hand and mix it with water to adjust the hold. It has a subtle but nice and clean scent that lingered even the next day. I only needed to dampen my curls to reactivate it, and it also added volume without weighing my curls down."

My curls are fluffy and not frizzy, and even on day three, they still look great!"

My only complaint is that the jar is quite small and a bit pricey, but I've been searching for something that works, so I stock up and buy several at a time!"

"I've been using the Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Strength line for a few months now, and I’m genuinely impressed.
