Do the right thing
a year ago
I have spent 34 years searching for the perfect styling product for my type 3c/4a curls. I thought my journey was over when I found this superb cream. Alas, Redken, once again you’ve discontinued a product that worked for me. If you could only understand the anxiety and sheer despair you cause your customers when you discontinue a product that actually works, especially for those of us who choose to allow our natural hair to shine, you’d hang your head in shame. Please bring this back! I cannot start this journey again.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I LOVE this product! I have fine, naturally curly hair. I have been using this product for some time now...then I find that it is being discontinued! NO, not THIS product! There isn't another cream, gel, or mousse that can absorb so well, refine and bring out more curl, and does not make your hair weigh down, feel oily, or crunchy. I always get complimented on how my hair smells good! It make the curls soft. PLEASE find a way to bring this back for the Curly People like me! I may have to cut off my hair!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have been using this product for years and years!! I haven't used another since trying it. I'm honestly not impressed with the recommendation that is taking the place of the discontinued. It works, because I'm giving it a chance, but if I find another like the Curvaceous in the green tube, I'm gone. And I WILL be trying a bunch of products now that my favorite is gone because my hair just isn't the same, and that means more to me than loyalty to a brand. Such a shame.
Yes, I recommend this product.

PLEASE BRING BACK

My teenage daughter is getting used to working with her hair and I really can't help her because my hair is straight to wavy, and hers is very tight spirals.
We've had very few 'bad hair day' meltdowns since finding this product. She's been using it for almost 2 years, and she even put this on her Christmas list since she's almost out. Please.... for my own sanity and for the sake of our peaceful mornings....BRING THIS PRODUCT BACK! Thank you!
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Curvaceous Curl Refiner is the BEST curl product on the market and I have been using it for years. I have tried so many other curl products that did not work before finding this one. It has the perfect combination of hold without being crunchy, it keeps my curls frizz-free, and it smells amazing. Please, PLEASE, don't discontinue this product. There is nothing out there as good as this curl refiner lotion. PLEASE BRING IT BACK...
Yes, I recommend this product.

Very let down
2 years ago
I wasn’t pleased at all and very let down. This product replaced the previous Redken “Fresh Curls” which I had bought for many Years. I would even recommend it to anybody that asked about my curls. The Fresh Curls would actually make my curls even curlier. Then when the Curl Refiner came out was told it was the same or better than. Well It Wasn’t and I haven’t found another product that even compared since
No, I do not recommend this product.

[Employee of redken] I am so disappointed that this has been discontinued. I don't even have curly hair but have used this product for years because nothing else makes my thick but fine hair feel the way this makes it feel. Going to have to move beyond Redkin because I can't keep trying expensive products that don't work. I use your acidic balance shampoos and conditioners. They are great.

I fear this is futile, as I doubt a big company really cares what we few people reviewing here are asking- but I ask anyway. Please bring back the curvaceous cream. It was lovely. Not too heavy or sticky - just wonderful. No one else has that - that I find. You have a gazillion different shampoos- why not just 1 cream for curls? Please??
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is such a great curl product, I always tend to come back to this one. This is one of the only products that help keep my frizz tamed but actually defines my curls. I swear my curls look their best with this product. Curls are always soft and bouncy, also this doesn't leave a cast or crunch on the hair either. Highly recommend.

Great curls

I have been using this product for years and it gives me better could definition than any other product I have tried. That include brands that cost much more than this. An added benefit is that it does not dry out my hair. Please don’t stop making this. I gave the last bit in a tube to my stylist and she uses it now, too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Happy Curl
9 years ago
My curls have a life of their own and typically they are out of sync with my expectations. With the curl refiner, applied to my freshly washed hair, I have been able to achieve beautiful soft, defined curls, no longer weighed down with products or crunchy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the curls look on day 2.

The best curl refiner

This is by far the best product I have ever used for my curls, the compliments I receive are always amazing, everyone asks me what I use and wants to buy it for themselves. I can’t find anything that even comes close, I hate the way my hair looks now and I am so sad that it is discontinued. Please bring it back!!

Thank you Redken for FINALLY bringing this product back. This is the best product to amp up your curls..control frizz etc. I use this on a daily basis and it doesn't weigh your hair down and leaves your hair very managable. So very happy to see it back. Now if only you would bring Curl Dive back....

I got a sample of this at a hair show. I usually use gel in my curly hair straight out the shower but I started incorporating this before the gel and I’m obsessed. The smell is incredible and it helps define and refined my curls without wearing them down. It plays well with other products too.

Finding products that work with my curls has always been difficult & this is one that doesn’t weigh my curls down but actually helps define them a bit more, but it also gives me some added volume. Especially when I dry it with a diffuser, otherwise I just air dry when I use it.

Honestly I’m not too impressed. I work at Ulta and I see so many women buy this and talk so highly of it. I feel like it almost weighs my curls down and makes my hair look kinda of greasy. It makes some strands very straight, some curly. Not too impressed.

One of my all time favorite curl products. I apply after the shower when parting my hair in different sections. Then I work through the ends using my fingers. Then I scrunch! Does not leave your hair feeling sticky or crunchy!

Before I started using this, my curls were frizzy and untamable. With this though, worked into my hair after my shower, my curls will form together and what little frizziness there is after is completely tame-able!
