Reviews

My very short bob is very happy

"I might be the laziest person ever when it comes to styling my hair. I fall asleep on wet hair every other night. Now, I use the styling cream while it’s still wet, go to sleep, then use a spray bottle in the morning and use a little more of the styling cream. It hydrates and accentuates my tiny bits of waves. I’m loving it! It smells very good too."

— Ashley S. (5/5)

"First time using this. I love the style I get without stiffness. I have ashort cue that is naturally wavy, but can get frizzy. This cream made softer waves that I can get back the next day, by just running my fingers through it. Also adds a bit of shine. We'll done Team Barb."

Love the Styling Cream

"5 STARS!!! Absolutely love the styling cream for my fine hair. I just got my first tube and I’ve used it for 2 days. My hair stays soft and fluffy all day while never getting flat like it used to. Looks like I just left the salon all day!! And my hair doesn’t feel oily or greasy texture. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing product with people like me who have fine short hair!!:adult|type_2:‍🦳"
