Cake Beauty Defining Curl Cream

i love things that smell good. this smells so good i want to eat it. the price is good and it makes my wavy hair more defined in the morning!!

This has seriously simplified my hair protocol. This is my de-frizz, my curl cream, my leave-in conditioner/strengthener. Whereas before, I was using a leave-in conditioner, argan oil, frizz serum, mousse, style cream and STILL missing something, now I just use Cake and mousse! A perfect pairing 😉 🍰
I’ve got baby fine hair and this works fantastic for me, whether I’m wearing my hair straight or curled that day. It’s all in how much you use, and how you apply it.
I have been battling breakage, so I’ve been trying all kinds of products to hydrate and protect my hair. I also have never had any luck with products for styling my hair. All too gunky, heavy, tacky, oily, mattifying, unnatural, they just dont work, dry out hair, or I’m allergic to them and they cause breakouts and hair problems. I found this, specifically searching for a style cream with protein and skin-friendly/non-scary ingredients – all musts for my fine, delicate, frizzy hair and sensitive skin!
I needed something that was sensitive-skin-friendly, would condition/hydrate, strengthen (protein) to prevent breakage, combat frizz, and generally work to make my hair look “on purpose”-cohesive, rather than a scraggly, “really?-i-couldnt-tell-you-spent-an-hour-styling-your-hair-today-did-you-even-shower-this-week?”
I actually found L’oreal’s Air-dry It style cream first, and I do really like that – it lead me here – but it just wasn’t quite cutting it. Perhaps it has the slight upper hand when it comes to hold, but, L’oreal is finicky- once you brush your hair, it looks like you didn’t even use it and you have to add more, also it isn’t moisturizing at all – it’s JUST a style cream, and its 2-3x more expensive, and now I have like 12 different hair products in the regimen and still searching for another because my sad hair still needs… SOMETHING.
Enter Cake.
Why cake works for me:
– Non-irritating for my sensitive skin
– no gunky build-up
– doesnt kill my volume
– Doesn’t make my hair look greasy
– doesn’t make my roots oily – it stays put when applied only to my lengths (other products I’ve had issue with, after putting my hair up for air-dry styling, whatever oiliness/conditioning was in the lengths of my hair sapped into my roots and made them look greasy. When trying to regulate an oily scalp, this is super frustrating after your much-awaited/anticipated shampoo day!)
– Versatile: works great for air-dry, blow-dry, curls, straight, air or iron. (I use a heat protectant as applicable, since i didn’t see on the product that it had heat protection) This isn’t “heat activated,” it works air-dry like a charm, but it also really holds up its properties with heat styling as well. It distributes well enough that I can use it air-dry for frizz control/shine/condition on fine, straight hair without it looking oily/weighed down, and it makes curls look juicy and well-kept.
– adds shine and so much softness
– works as a reliable, not-too-heavy/oily leave-in conditioner for fine hair
– excellent detangler
– frizz control – really keeps your locks together and smooth. I live in a bi-polar extreme environment – cold/dry snaps one day and so humid you’re swimming the next. This stuff keeps it manageable.
– style enhancer. Whatever the style, it just looks better. More polished. It definitely helps keep it together. My hair has a hard time holding a curl – this stuff makes a difference, iron or air, and with air-dry curls, this stuff keeps them curls rather than “I-thought-I-would-get-curls-but-instead-I-got-poof.”
– not a “temporary” style agent. You put it in, it works – after brushing your hair, sleeping in it, playing outside, humidity, whatever.
– no build-up
– strengthens/improves hair health. The main attraction for me. Dry lengths and breakage is why the frizz is real. With the argan/shea/avocado oils, it hydrates and conditions, leaving hair so soft. The protein strengthens – I’ve noticed a real difference in my hair feeling less delicate/brittle since I started using this, maybe in 1 week.
– multitasker! More functions, one reliable product. Thank goodness for that. One-stop-shop for natural style perfection. Now I only need mousse to volumize my baby hair, and cake for everything else!
– price. Good hair shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Thank you for keeping this affordable, and for keeping the ingredients real, not compromising cost for junk ingredients.

I bought this ion the advice of another curly haired friend who was very happy with the results- not only does it smell incredible, it also keeps my hair soft and gives me a the tousled curls I was hoping for- enjoy!

I have fine wavy hair with a lot of body – most creams weight it down to much or don’t give good definition. This cream works so well for my texture and smells great!

I have mid-back length fine, combination curly and wavy hair. It is prone to tangles, puffiness and getting weighed down near the roots (because of how fine it is). I tried this on a whim, not expecting much, and I love it! For me it works the same whether I apply it to damp or dry hair. It seems to work to refresh curls when the hair is already dry. I don’t need very much, maybe a quarter size amount. It does not get stiff at all. And it also doesn’t get greasy or heavy, even with a few days between washes. I’m not sure if just rinsing my hair gets all the product out, but it seems to. The texture is nice and the smell is awesome! I’m normally not a fan of sweet smelling products but this smells like lemon cake in the best way possible, and it’s not overpowering. The product is not tested on animals and also pretty inexpensive for quality hair care. I will continue to use this and would recommend trying it.

Keeps my curls well, not sticky, doesn’t look too shiny and comes off easily with just water. Going to buy again
