This has made my naturally curly (3b) hair softer, and more ringlets have appeared. I washed and conditioned, then added double the pea-size recommended as I have a lot of hair. I gently raked it in, then applied the Noughty curl jelly over the top. After just one day, my hair is frizzing, it still feels soft, and the ringlets are there, but it's definitely fluffy. I'm not sure if this negates the effect of the curl jelly. I plan to de-frizz by adding curl jelly to the end of each curl to bring them back, I may get another 2 days before washing if I do this. It's nice, but is not the miracle serum I was hoping for! Didn't really notice any smell. My hair is softer, it doesn't feel greasy like some serums do.
