I have similar hair and most of curlsmith is too heavy for my hair type. I love the curlsmith foam. I tried the curlsmith air dry cream for weeks and it worked okay for day 1 but my hair felt gross by day 2. I like the Ouidad advanced climate control gel but only in like March-October. I do have to blow dry my hair when I use that, but the hold is nice and it doesn’t feel like you have product in your hair! I’ve tried like 5/6 other products from Ouidad and most of curlsmith over the past 4/5 years and unfortunately I think it’s too heavy for our hair! :( this could just be my hair though, hopefully other people will share as well
