A weightless, curl defining cream which helps nourish and protect curls.

Curly hair has more bonds of an amino acid called cysteine: the more bonds between hair, the curlier the hair is. Curly hair also tends to be quite dry and in need of moisture and hydration.

We have developed a unique technology that helps define and prolong curls' bounce and their natural shape by targeting the hair bonds, whilst providing hydration too. This weightless serum has been formulated to also help reduce, protect and strengthen hair against chemical damage and tame frizz.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this curl treatment enhances their natural waves and curls while keeping hair soft and manageable. Many reviews mention its lightweight texture that doesn't weigh hair down. Common feedback includes effective frizz control and curl definition, especially for wavy and fine hair types. While some find it provides enough moisture alone, others prefer combining it with additional styling products for better hold. Reviews are mixed on its effectiveness for very thick or tightly coiled hair, with some noting it's too light for their needs. Many appreciate its versatility for both wet and dry hair application.

    Pump doesn't work at all

    The product works well enough, but i have to take the pump out and whack the bottom of the bottle each time I want to use it.

    Hello Shannon,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our Chia Seed Curl Defining Hair Treatment. While we're pleased to hear that you find the product itself works well enough, we're truly sorry to learn about the significant issues you've experienced with the pump dispenser. We understand how incredibly frustrating and inconvenient it is when the pump doesn't function at all, forcing you to remove it and resort to unconventional methods like whacking the bottle just to access the product. This isn't the experience we want for our customers, and we completely understand how disruptive this packaging problem must be to your hair care routine, especially when you have to go through this process every single time you want to use the treatment. We would be grateful if you could reach out to our Customer Experience Team who can support you further with your experience and help investigate this pump functionality issue in more detail 🖤

    Doesn't do much for me

    This is the only product from Inkey that I feel 'meh' about. I have fine, wavy hair and while this isn't bad, it doesn't seem to do much. It doesn't condition, it doesn't add shine, doesn't define. It also doesn't leave a crunchy feel or stiffness, so that's a plus. It just seems to sort of 'solidify' my hair, if that makes sense. It makes it less puffy, but any leave-in will do that for me. Think I will give it away, maybe it's for a different type of hair texture.

    Hello Ruby,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about our Chia Seed Curl Defining Hair Treatment. While we're pleased to hear that you appreciate the product's non-crunchy finish and its ability to reduce puffiness, we're truly sorry to learn that you haven't experienced the defining and conditioning benefits you were hoping for with your fine, wavy hair. We understand how disappointing it is when a product doesn't deliver the expected results, especially when you're looking for specific improvements in your hair's texture and appearance. While many of our customers have experienced positive results with this formula, we understand that hair care is highly personal, and what works for some may not work for others, particularly when dealing with different hair types and textures. We would be grateful if you could reach out to our askINKEY Team who can support you further with your experience and help identify a more suitable solution for your hair care needs 🖤
