Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the product for its excellent quality, noting that it effectively defines curls, reduces frizz, and leaves hair feeling soft, hydrated, and healthy without being greasy or heavy. Many consumers appreciate how easy it is to use, often replacing multiple products in their routine, and highlight its pleasant scent and long-lasting effects. However, some customers also noted that the product did not work for their specific hair type, leading to dry, brittle, or undefined curls. A few people mentioned that the product felt tacky or did not provide enough hold, and some found that it worked better when combined with other styling products like gel or mousse.

Softness in a Jar (With a Little Help from My Friends!)

​I am really impressed with the CURLJAR Curl Activator. It’s a beautiful cream-based formula rather than a gel, and it leaves my hair feeling extremely soft and looking lush with a great shine.
​One thing to note: because it is so soft (likely thanks to the Tamanu oil and Lemongrass), my curls tend to wrap around each other and mat at the back if I use it alone. To fix this, I "cocktail" it with Eco Gel and a bit of mousse. This combo provides the hold I need to keep the definition without losing that creamy softness.
​The Verdict: The price point is a bit high considering I have to mix it with other products to get the perfect result, but the quality of the product itself is fabulous. If it feels too "soft" for your hair type, I highly recommend layering it with a gel or mousse and letting it completely dry before scrunching out the cast. You won't regret the shine!

Hi Simone, thank you for taking the time to leave us this helpful feedback! It's always nice to hear from customer's insights. Curljar was designed to achieve little of everything, acting as a nourishing styling base that can be used on its own if you like a fluffy result, or paired into your routine for longer lasting results. We're here if you need any help or styling tips x

I was expecting better results…

I was expecting better results considering the expense. I usually use two other curl cream products which are a fraction of the price. CurlJar was recommended by my hairdresser. I have now used 3 times, twice allowing hair to dry naturally with some scrunching and the other with cold setting lowest speed diffuser. The curls don't appear boosted, are less formed and appear to drop quickly.
Shame, because the smell is very nice.
Once I have finished the jar I will return to previous products.

This did absolutely nothing for my hair, in fact I'd go so far as to say its one of the worst products I've tried. It didn't activate my curls, control frizz or have any hold at all. Very disappointing. Despite following their guidelines to the letter, I ended up with what looked like a bird's nest on my head. Very costly mistake!

Hi Vicki,

I’m really sorry to hear this was your experience, that’s not what we want for you at all.

Curl Jar is designed to work a little differently from traditional stylers, and sometimes it comes down to small adjustments like how wet the hair is during application or how the product is worked through. When it clicks, it should leave your curls soft, defined and touchable, not dry or tangled.

Our formula is backed by curl specialists and used by professionals across a wide range of hair types, so it sounds like something didn’t quite land here and we’d genuinely love to help you get a better result.

If you’re open to it, feel free to DM us with your hair type and how you applied it, we can guide you step by step based on your texture. We also host regular curl events across the UK where you can get hands on support and see the results in person, we’d love to invite you along.

Thank you for giving Curl Jar a try and for sharing your feedback ✨

I bought the trial size as I was not sure how my hair would react. It is absolutely lovely and I am very impressed with it. I've got half curly hair some wave and some straight. It looks so nice when it has dried. I can just put it on and leave it to dry naturally. I have now bought the bigger pot and will keep the trial pot as a travel pot.

I recently tried the curling cream from Curl Jar, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! Not only does it leave my hair feeling incredibly soft and hydrated , but the personalised advice I received was truly invaluable. I’ve been dealing with heat damage and hair loss, and what really sets Curl Jar apart is how comfortable and supported they made me feel when I shared my hair concerns—something I was quite self-conscious about discussing. Their tips on lifestyle changes and hair care routines genuinely gave me reassurance and confidence. Thank you, Curl Jar 🫶🏽🥹🩷

Gives long lasting curls

I tried Curljar by pure chance as I was given a trial size. I didn't think it would work for me as I have low density hair. Usually creams make my hair too soft and limp. I experimented with it and found a technique that works for me so bought a full size jar. I use a small blob on soaking wet hair then add any one of my fave gels on top.
Means my curls last for days and sometimes don't even need a refresh.
It works more like a gel than a cream for me and I'm glad I found it.

Finally a product for ALL hair types…

I have very fine hair that is a mixture of tight curls and waves. It’s also suffered years of damage from heat and bleach. I wanted to give my hair a rest, let it repair, and also start wearing it natural - no colour and curly. Every single routine and product I’ve tried has been a disaster. The curls look dreadful and the products are too heavy.

Not CurlJar.

It’s the most amazing product out there. The difference it has made to my hair is incredible. I now have a simple routine - just wash, condition, apply CurlJar, and diffuse. Or, if I want extra hold I add a small amount of gel too. That’s it. And what you get is beautifully defined curls/waves and hair that is soft and full of life. The best part is refresh days. You only have to use a small amount of water - either a gentle mist or even just wet hands - and it’s like a complete rewash! The curls spring back and you look great again.

The smell is beautiful and not overwhelming. And the jar lasts you for ages!

I can’t recommend this enough. If you’re unsure, give it a few tries to find what works best for you, and I guarantee you’ll love it.

Curl Jar has completely changed how I style my curls. It’s genuinely effortless to use, and from the first application you feel confident knowing your hair will behave and feel good all day. The cream is rich and thick but never greasy, and a little truly goes a long way. It melts into the hair, balances moisture, detangles beautifully, and leaves curls soft and defined—never crispy or crunchy.
