Review: Naturally Silk Elements Curling Cream Gel

I cut my natural hair short again due to breakage and have been looking for a product that will make my curls pop when I shingle it. I was using As I Am's Smoothing Gel and absolutely loved it! The only down side was it left my hair with a white ball type of residue. So after spending at least an hour in Sallys Beauty Supply, I decided to purchase this product by Naturally Silk Elements for $6.00. Now, before I buy anything, I hop on the internet to check some reviews. Everything looked good for the most part so I purchased it.

That night, I washed my hair with Phytonectar shampoo followed by a deep conditioning treatment. I then two-strand twisted my hair with the product. Upon application, my hair felt moisturized but still a little dry. It even produced a little curling effect at the end of the twist. After I was done, I noticed that the product dried pretty quickly but left my hair feeling crunchy and extra dry.No feeling of moisture whatsoever. So the next morning, I spritz my hair with some water/conditioner mix and it felt moisturized again but once it dried, the same crunchy feeling came back.

Now, would I recommend this product? No, because it left my hair feeling dry, which you know is a no go. I will try it again by adding some type of leave in or conditioner to my hair first before adding this. I just hope it doesn't create flakes or a white type of residue like the other product.
