    Reviews

    One and done

    "I'm impressed. It reduced frizz and my curls held all day without cast, weight, or stickiness. I hate most products because they feel terrible and seem to attract dirt. This just felt like clean hair but with defined curl. I've told all my curly friends. Both photos air dried, first without Innersense, second after my first time using Innersense. I need to improve application but it definitely makes an improvement."

    WJ (5/5)

    Was not expecting to LOVE it!

    "I have always wanted to find a way to air dry my hair and not have it either super crunchy with gel / product or frizzy. I have very thick, coarse hair, with 2A / 2B waves. I gave this a try, not expecting a whole lot because of past experiences with other products, but I LOVE this product. It defines my waves with minimal frizz, lasts for days, and is so easy! I've been enjoying low-maintenance hair since I got it and plan on bringing it to multiple camping trips over the summer! So excited to have found this! (Ignore the blur in the pic - not sure what was going on with my camera. On my way to my daughter's swim meet, and my hair still looked great when I got home despite the humidity that day!)"

    EL (5/5)

    Love it!

    "I can finally wear my hair naturally wavy in humid weather without the frizz! I have thick, coarse, wavy, naturally silver hair and this product will be my go-to, especially as I journey to grow my hair out and reduce heat usage."

    Emily P. (5/5)

    Perfect for my fine thin curls!

    "I have very fine, thin curly hair. This Air Dry Cream is absolutely perfect for my curls. Since I refresh every day, I don’t have to reapply the cream every day - just every 3rd day or so. Just a spritz with water and it’s reenergized and ready to go again. I only use about a nickel sized amount. Previously I was using a mix of Sweet Spirit Leave in, quiet calm curl cream and I create hold gel. The air dry cream works just as well if not better all in one product."

    Tonya M. (5/5)

    a little heavy on fine hair

    "I have fine hair with a natural wavy. I always air dry, never blow dry and only occasionally use a curling iron because it is also dry and can flyaway. I was hoping this would help give the wave a boost to add some volume, but found it weighed my hair down instead. I may to add just a touch to the Superfinish, which i do like. But it didn't meet my expectations."

    CC (3/5)

    Air Dry Cream is a miracle product!

    "I have fine thin curly hair that I only discovered a year ago. I was so frustrated with the outcome of my hair. It always turned out stringy. The Air Dry Cream is the ticket for me. I have full bouncy curls!! I absolutely love this product!"

    Mimi O. (5/5)

    So far so good

    "I bought the small bottles of the shampoo, conditioner, detox, air dry cream and spray leave in conditioner. I really like it. My hair is soft and light. I do still pair it with my other products but I'm considering trying a couple more things and see how it goes. I like to use the leave in conditioner when I get out of the shower, then I'll use there air dry cream, then I use a curl definition cream that is from another great brand, then the other company's gel mousse. My curls look great, they are lighter than before and my refresh days are also easier. As I mentioned, I'll try more, I plan on seeing if they have a gel mousse and curl definition product next."

    ana t. (5/5)

    Air Dry Styling Cream

    "I am using Innersense products exclusively and just ordered and received the Air Dry Styling Cream. I’m not impressed with how my hair looks and feels after using it. I thought my waves would be more defined when dried but it was flat and almost straight. I think I’ll stick to my normal routine with the lift and volume products which are excellent for my hair."

    Robin T. (4/5)

    Not ideal for thick curly hair

    "I exclusively use innersense products for my thick curly hair, curl memory in particular for styling (not as heavy as I create hold but more definition than quiet calm curl control). I also air dry, so I was excited for this concept since I still struggle a bit with crunchiness sometimes. I quickly realized I felt like I had to use ALOT to feel like it would do anything, and then as it dried it was more of a voluminous wavy mess than anything (not frizzy per se, there was just no hold/definition). I will say it left my hair super soft for days after. Looking back, I should’ve realized this from the example pictures on the page. Oh well, always happy to try another innersense product!"

    Marissa D. (4/5)

    Type 3C Curls + Obsessed

    "I'm a curly-hair specialist based in northern california, and I've been using this product on myself and my clients since it was first launched. All I can say is. . . . I'm in awe. I was skeptical that this SINGLE styler could nourish and define my Type 3C High Porosity Tight Curls. . . . but it ABSOLUTELY did. And more importantly, my hair still looked great the next morning! I also love using this client on all of my busy clients that prefer a 1 product and done style -- wavy, curly, or coily alike. Just ordered a big size for my house + the salon!"
