Love the product, but the scent is overpowering. I wish you made an unscented one.

We’re glad you love the results, but it sounds like the scent signal is hitting your senses with too much frequency. We know that sometimes, the most powerful code is the one you can't hear—or smell. Your wish for an unscented path is a truth we hear loud and clear. Thank you for speaking up.

A few years ago, my hairdresser introduced me to this series to revive my curls! What a difference! I use the shampoo, cowash, mask, leave in conditioner, and gel. I get compliments on how great my hair smells and how fresh my hair looks all the time. I am a forever fan of the A Curl Can Dream line of products.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Type 4 twist out - Soft and defined 👍🏾🥰
a year ago
At first I was a little concerned. There were not many, barely any, with type 4 reviewing this product. Most were brush or scrunch and go reviews. I look for twist out reviews, because my scrunch and go is a big NO. One complaint was about definition, which is key for a twist out.
Since the beautician suggested the matrix line, I purchased the build-a bond line, suggested by my cousin. I used the entire line except for the leave-in. I figured a curl can dream leave in would be better for me. The build-a -bond leave in is gel like.

I am thrilled to say I love it. I have great definition. My hair feels light and soft and wonderful. I look forward to trying the rest of the curl line.

The fragrance is over powering. Wish there was an option for fragrance free. Won’t buy again.

It works well on my curls and coils!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved how this hair cream made my hair feel smooth and melted into my hair strands nicely. It also aided in the detangling process. This cream has a slightly thick but a little runny consistency that I enjoyed. The only thing I would change about this product is the fragrance. Although it smells very pleasant, it can be a bit much for those who aren't really into strong scents.
Yes, I recommend this product.

DEFINITELY WILL BUY AGAIN
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How I use the product is after washing and conditioning my curly hair. I would distribute the cream from route to end sure to tangle it first, and then with a curly brush smooth curls over and bend it a little bit so strands are fully coded and perfectly curled. What I love about this product is a thick consistency that helps me retain moisture and longevity of style. I was surprised how matrix was able to make a thick cream that is not too runny or does suit my hair. The only downside is a little bit pricey, but it's fully justifiable because it is that great and the tub comes completely brimmed with product. I would purchase absolutely.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Beautiful soft defined curls! And so lightweight!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make sure my hair is wet. If I didn't just wash my hair, I spray it with water until it's pretty wet. I brush to get rid of tangles then dab some product in my hair spreading it out evenly. I let my hair air dry then run my fingers through my hair to separate them out and add volume. The curl cream is lightweight and it doesn't get sticky or leaves residue. It's definitely a must!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pretty Heavy
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only have tried the curl cream, nit the whole system. I tried it multiple times on my curls, but it was very heavy and weighed them down. I tried different amounts, different techniques, but still felt like my hair was heavy and oily.
I received this product for free to try and give my honest opinion.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Curl Cream Dream
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This curl cream works great. I have naturally curly coarse Asian hair and this works great for me. The scent is a bit strong, but doesn't bother me too much. I will say that this product probably wouldn't work great for someone with fine hair as it's fairly rich. Start small so you don't overdo it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

My new go-to!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have medium curly hair that tends to get puffy and frizzy. This cream provides soft definition, tames a lot of the crazies and smells so, so good without flaky residue! I combine it with the gel when I want a little more definition and more of a wet look. I've tried so many products to try to get the look I want and I'm so glad I found this!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great moisture!!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream has tons of moisture! Really good slip when distributing through my hair. I have low density, 3c har and this cream is a little heavy for me for the summer months. Can't wait until my hair is a bit longer and it's going to be very moisturizing for twist outs, especially in the fall/winter.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Product works fantastic
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A Curl Can Dream Cream by Matrix works very well, even by itself. The only drawback I had is if you add too much your hair will be greasy and weighted down. It's hard to know what too much is because you apply the product liberally. But when you learn the right amount it's magic. I sometimes mix a little gel in with the A Girl Can Dream Cream and I call that all the styling products my curls need.
Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like this product it doesn't take a lot it's got a rich thick texture with a mild scent that smells good it does help keep your hair moisturized and your curls looking good however the reason I gave it for stars is because it doesn't get rid of frizziness completely it does reduce it somewhat but I did like it and I will continue using it and I do recommend it for anyone that has curly hair
Yes, I recommend this product.

I would recommend this cream to my fellow curly girls - it is a good size tub and it will last a while- I have waist length hair and didn't have to use a ton of product.

So good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This curl cream can hold and lasts for days! It doesn't weigh my curls down but it keeps it tamed up no frizz which is great. It's also light weight . I just wish this was in squeeze tube instead of take in a jar, because I hate having cream exposed. It always feel so messy when it's in a jar other than that. Awesome product
Yes, I recommend this product.

I liked it but I didn't love it
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have super long and curly hair so I liked how much product came in this. After trying it a few times as I normally would, I just didn't love it. It made my hair feel nice but I still had frizz after it dried. And I also didn't love the smell of it, I like when my hair smells good because I feel like that smell lingers, and the fragrance in this product isn't my favorite.
No, I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked how easily this product applied. It was clear once dried. I did need to use quite a bit but I like to drench my curls to keep them bouncy. This product smells great and is not sticky. It also did not stain my shirt when I got some on it. Overall, great product!

Nice thick cream
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to review. I have curly/wavy hair that is a bit fine. The first time I tried a curl can dream, I used a bit too much for my hair which gave it a weird greasy feeling but the next time I used less product, about the size of a quarter and let me tell youuuu..my hair LOVED it! It gave it a nice moisturized feel and my curls looked amazing! I would recommend playing around with the amount to find what your hair needs from it. Overall it's a great product and bonus..it smells great!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing moisturizing product!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed was the light floral (rose) scent that just enhanced the moisturizing effect. You don't need to use much product if your hair is short(neck length), like mine, which was fine especially since my hair is thin & fine in addition to being curly/coily. I used my fingertips to scoop out the product applied to roots and ends and massaged through hair after showering. In addition, I used as a hair mask/deep conditioner after shampooing so that is another good use you can use this product for! I'm hoping that this product will be available at a nearby Sally's because I will be sad if I can't be able to add this product to my hair care regimen which is what I intend to do. Awesome product and I'm glad to have been a part of this sampling product review! Thanks BzzAgent for this opportunity!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great for curly healthcare workers
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a healthcare worker I have my curls up most days for work. This cream works great to give curl and help with the flyways with styles. On days I have it down it helps to tame my gray curls. I used this cream alone on wet hair and it was great. When the hair drys, with wet hands the cream does re activate and get the curls back into place. I will buy it again and share with friends.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Definition
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With this product, a little can go a long way. The ends of my hair were pretty dehydrated, but after using this cream it locked in a lot more moisture. Due to this, the hair was softer and a lot less frizzy. It truly did make my curls look more defined and coherent. At first I don't think you can tell much of a difference, but after using it consistently, you can tell that it truly does help set the shape of my curl. If you use too much for your hair, you may waste the product and experience some build up. I recommend starting with a little and increasing the amount until you see fit. The smell is also very nice and relatively longer lasting. For the price, this is a great buy!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Soft, hydrated curls!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review and excitedly gave it a try as I love testing out new products for curly hair! Matrix A Curl Can Dream Moisturizing Cream is a rich, hydrating curl cream that works really well with my thick, curly hair. I applied the product to my hair immediately after getting out of the shower to my soaking wet hair, as recommended, and let it air dry. It left my hair feeling so soft and with great curl definition. The scent is also really wonderful, though not too overpowering and the amount of product you receive in one jar is impressive! Overall, it is a really lovely conditioning curl cream.
Yes, I recommend this product.
