a little goes a long way with this product! when i use too much my hair feels gross like i’ve put a pound of gel in it. im one of those unlucky people with a F-TON of thin hair strands, so i knot/mat up super easily. this product did not help in that area! there is a coconut version of the strictly curls cream that i found one time in store that i liked way better than this one. the smell, texture, and feel of your hair is just overall better with that one.
