Since most fragrances trigger my asthma and make my scalp itch, very thankful for fragrance free options!
You have THE best review on this line!!! I was waiting for yours because you are always so in-depth when it comes to ingredients and exactly how they benefit our hair ♥️ thank you so much for this ♥️ I personally love fragrance in my products but sometimes the fragrances can clash !! So if I’m using the strength recipe line from them , or the moisture line, which I prefer those smells over the scalp recipe line then this can be a substitute for my weightless air dry cream!!
I think it would be a really interesting video for you to compare these products with the other products that they have like the ones that I mentioned. I literally bought all of my Curlsmith because of you 😂so if this new leave in cream can give me the same results as the weightless air dry cream that would be amazing because that smell I can’t stand it but I love the results!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
Yes, this cream is very comparable to the Weightless Air Dry Cream.
For me one of my favorite things about curlsmith IS their fragrance! Anytime I use their products (especially the strength recipe line) people ask me what perfume I'm wearing. If I used these products I would probably still use their oil just for the scent!
I totally agree !!! The strength recipe line smells so good I love the smell of the moisture line too 💜🧡the only one I can’t stand is the scalp recipe it smells like my mom‘s perfume 😂
I am so excited to hear Curlsmith has come out with a fragrance-free line. I had to donate more than $120 worth of their products because I got hives and contact dermatitis with their product line. I liked the smell and loved how my hair responded but I had to stop using them. Now, thanks to you Gena Marie, I discovered the Tre Luxe line which I love love love! I may (not sure yet because I thought I found hair nirvana with TreLuxe) try these. Yet TBD😉
Thank you Gena for another recommendation and an informative video. 💯❤️
I’m excited to try these products. I recently tried a styler from Curlsmith and while I thought the styler itself was great, I just couldn’t stand the smell. And it’s so heard to find good CGM friendly products that are fragrance-free (or close to). Can’t wait to try them!
Thanks for this review. I’ve got sensitive skin and am very excited to try this new line!
Ohh, I'm so excited about this!! I have terrible allergies and sometimes the fragrance in products really bother me, especially in winter where my nose is already super dry. I want to try these!!
The volume! 😍 I can’t wait to try these!
Great review and tips. Thanks GenaMarie
SEEN and Jessicurl both are hair products that also are fragrance free and CG friendly. Good to finally have some options. Thanks for this video and demonstration.
Love love this brand. I have all of them. Cant wait to use Shine ✨ and videos always spot on
Great tip on how to get rid of wet frizz! I'll have to use that on my next wash day. Beautiful results, Gena! I don't mind fragrance in my hair products.
I can't wait to get my hands on that strong hold gel!! Only problem is we have to wait a bit longer for new Curlsmith products here in Australia, so I hope it hurries up!!!!! Thanks for the great review, Gena! xxoo
I love Curlsmith, and I am super excited to try this line. I don't mind fragrance, but I'm excited for the shine!
I love the CurlSmith fragrance. I’m excited to try the fragrance free line.
I'm so excited they came out with a lighter weight leave in! Great results, looks amazing!
Yes! Thank you!
Wow, your hair looks amazing. I have to get this gel. I actually love scents, if they’re not overpowering. I like alikay lemon scented leave in and AG defining cream which has a light fresh scent.
I used them today for the first time Love them!!
I love all the Curlsmith products. This line is great for folks who don't like fragrance. They are great 🤍
Looks awesome!!
Jessicurl also does fragrance free products if there is anyone that can't get Curlsmith in their country :)
Love the Shine Gel too! I got very similar results to Gena. I think I even got to day 5! I have used it both as a single styler, as well as the finisher over a light hold gel. I typically don't use leave ins or creams because they weigh down my hair. I also got that "producty" feel on day 4 but it was totally worth it because my hair looked better with this gel than almost any other gel! I didn't even need to clarify the next time. I just used my bounce curl shampoo which is a "light" clarifier.
Hi Gena, great information as always. I’m one of those that can’t tolerate scents, as they trigger migraines. You are absolutely correct there are very few lines in curly hair products that are unscented. I can’t tell you how many products and money, I have thrown away because the “aromas” linger on your hair.
Few lines that do carry unscented:
Luvs - My current favorites but the gel is a “light hold”
Jessica’s Curls ( smells like plastic) but doesn’t linger. But the gel feels like too much product”y”.
Bounce Curl - Has a scent but it’s a “natural herb like “ and does not trigger migraines.
I have low porosity (protein sensitive)type 2C/2b curls and I get product build-up easily. So I can’t use Jessica’s Curls or Bounce Curl all the time, as my hair gets weight down and protein overload. Have alternate those two brands. Once I finished them, I will not be repurchasing.
On a previous video (Top 5) you recommended Curls smith Jelly & Ouida gel. I went ahead and ordered them. They arrived 2 days ago and I tried them yesterday. Omg!!! You’re so right. They work amazingly. The scent disappeared once my hair dried. I also went ahead and ordered the Shark hair dryer on your recommended video. Yesterday, I used all 3 products. I can honestly say, for the first time in my life, I Love my curls! Thank you😁
I will be placing an order for the Curlsmith’s Fragrance free line.
Again, thank you for all the great reviews, your time & effort. It is Extremely appreciated 💕

Great video as usual and your hair looks so full and shiny! I’m in need of a protein free shampoo and conditioner. Fragrance doesn’t bother me. I’m wondering if the shine recipe is different from the vibrancy shampoo and conditioner. Do you have a preference?
Hi Gena as someone with eczema on the scalp fragrance is a complicated issue. Shampoo and/or conditioner used on the scalp is the main problem area for fragrance for me. Most fragrance free shampoos are really not suitable for very course/curly hair and tend to be too stripping. I get round that by using baby shampoos from cantu or shea moisture - both have fragrance but much less than the standard versions. Another way is to only use the FF shampoo on the scalp as a clarifying shampoo (they are sulphate free). Co washing with a fragrance free conditioner is good for when my scalp is extra dry or problematic. I do tend to be able to use styling products with fragrance if I avoid the scalp area and then keep the wet hair off my skin. I like some of the no added fragrance jessiecurl line and having an alternative will be a good thing. I like the shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner, but their styling products don't work that great for my hair and climate - they cause a lot of flash drying on me. I will try some of this line and see how it works for me. i hope they introduce some minis in a trial/travel size - this is always a really good way to try products for really sensitive skin/scalp. Best wishes.
I already bought the cream but now I think I need that gel too!🤩
It's so good!
Thanks for this review. I can't use products with fragrance. I have been considering purchasing Curlsmith Fragrance-free Shine products.
Thanks so much for this review. :) I'm curious how this might compare to the Moroccan oil line (for dense 2C waves), or what do you prefer? I am dryness/frizz prone. I'm leaning toward curlsmith shine line. :)
Thanks for doing this review. I have wasted so much money on products I can’t use because of the smell. A couple even made my asthma worse so it can be tricky to decide what to try.
I love nice fragrance in my products, love most of curlsmith's fragrance except the gels. Curious how this gel would work. Wishes they would make a shine line with protein as my hair loves protein
Hi, thanks for this very informative video. I never used curl smith before but ordered my first products because they’re “fragrance free”. I have high hopes as my mother is badly allergic to all smells and since that I couldn’t use styling foam anymore and my hair is mostly just frizzy looking. It’s not as bad because I only have wavy curls - I would say I am a 2b type. But now I have a question: when I used too much product in the past of styling foam my hair was instantly super tacky etc. When you coat each strand with this much product doesn’t it do the same then? I am wondering if i really would like to use this method, but perhaps these products are totally different formulated than your typical garnier or L’Oréal styling foam? Thanks in advance for your response. 😊
Thank you for another great video. However, I LOVE CurlSmith fragrances. All of them. My favorite is the scalp recipe fragrance but I love all of them. For me, it is almost sad to think there is a CurlSmith product without a lovely fragrance in it lol! But I do understand that there are folks who are very sensitive to that kind of thing and at least now, they too can experience the quality of CurlSmith products.
The Scalp line is my favorite too for their scents!
Gina what could I be doing wrong because I never develop a cast on my curls . I do apply to soaking wet hair. I do micro plop. Thanks in advance. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Gena! My question isn't related to the vis, but I discovered that I have scalp eczema and I may be allergic to shampoo. Is there an alternative to shampoo/co-wash?
Hops was a star ingredient in the deva curl line
I might give this a try bc I really hate the curl smith fragrance in their products. I use products with fragrance in them as long as they aren’t too strong. My husband on the other hand hates all my products with fragrance in them and I have to do my curl routine when he isn’t around the bedroom and nighttime is a no no bc he said he can’t sleep after I do my wash routine 😩😂 and night styling is my preferred way
I’m always so tempted to try Curlsmith products because they sound great, but I have to remember that they rarely work for me. I have fine, high porosity, low density hair so I need a decent amount of protein in my styling products. And Curlsmith is so focused on moisture…even their “protein” line has minimal protein in it and leaves my hair too fluffy and soft.
I wish more brands would focus on products that contain both moisture and protein and not sway so heavily one direction or the other. Inahsi has been my go to brand for the past year because of this. And their new hard hold gel has been great! But it’s always tempting to try something new…until I read all the ingredients.
Thanks for another great video!
I have that problem also. My hair needs protein. I keep a little dropper bottle of hydrolyzed quinoa protein in my shower and I add a few drops to my conditioner and let it sit in my hair while I finish washing the rest of me. It helps.
@@annaburns5382 That's a great idea! Do you have a preferred brand?
Oh this is a great post and point. Never thought about that. I think I finally discovered the right product line with TreLuxe. They have the protein moisture combo down pat. My hair has never behaved better even in this very cold dry winter! This post now makes me rethink my inclination to try the Curlsmith ff line. Why should I since I am getting such good results with Tre Luxe? My biggest problem now is what to do with my drawer full of other brands...most of them practically full. I think our local women's shelter might accept them even though they are opened.
@@Rachelsjourney i just started using the TreLuxe line which has the protein moisture combo. I am so happy I did. They have 5 hair care products in their line and so far I have used 4 of them and love how my hair is responding. I have very fine, low density hair. My porosity- not sure I know my hair dries out and gets frizzy while I am looking at it😊. I also don't think their products are super costly. I read that they sometimes have sales at Walgreen's. I think there is one mow until Jan 22 30% off. I bought mine online and got the Moisture bundle with a decent discount using Genamarie15 code. (She has a video- double check my info)
@@helenl7967 I have tried the entire Treluxe line and really like how they work for my hair, but there is something in them that makes my scalp itch. And I cannot figure out what ingredient is doing that because nothing stands out as "problematic". I was so bummed, because they really felt good in my hair and gave me good results. And many people seem to get good results - so I think they are a great option for most people.
Hair products can be so challenging - finding the right combination of ingredients that work for your hair type and scalp. It certainly is a "process" :)
I’m interested in this line but I need protein in one of my stylers. Either the gel or the cream or I don’t get great definition. Should I not bother getting this ?
As I lose my mind figuring out which products work best for me, i have a major question.
Why is the cream applied first and then the gel? I had always done the opposite or mixed them together in my hand and then applied and began scrunching, etc. ??
Will this cream & gel will work for 2 a2b hair high perosity low density short wavy hair?
I like Curlsmith's fragrances, but find the scalp line scent in particular to be wayyy too strong. Fragrance free products are great because I can mix and match product lines without having too many fragrances in my hair at once. That's why I like to keep a variety of low to no fragrance products on hand.
My hair is wavy and fine and not dry. This conditioner has the bassau oil. Will it weigh down my fine, wavy thin hair?
I do like fragrance in my products but the fragrance is usually too strong or distasteful for me. I'm always scoping out fragrance free options and I'm super happy to have these new products available.
What's your favourite curlsmith line? Many thanks xx
How would compare these to the other CurlSmith lines? I have shampoo, conditioner, leave-ins and gels from the other lines and if these are comparable then I don’t plan to run out and buy them - I’ll wait until I used up what I have before exploring this line. TIA!
I think all the lines are great! I don't think you need to switch especially if fragrance doesn't bother you.
Definitely need fragrance free products. Fragrances make me sick. So happy Curlsmith now has fragrance free!
I'm glad they came out with fragrance free but they still should reduce the amount of scent in their other products. A coworker of mine uses the moisture line and I get so many comments from patients (we're nurses) saying she wears to much perfume. It's not perfume it's her hair! It's just over the top amount of scent and it smells like a cheap teenager body spray or children's shampoo. They could cut it down by 80% and it would be a more normal amount of scent for hair products. I could not use their scented products at all, one use and i was in pain all over my scalp and neck.
Do you know if this is a ph balanced shampoo and conditioner?
I would say yes since the shampoo was not stripping at all! It was a great gentle shampoo that foamed.
I might like this line. Hmm 🤔.
I used to have really thick hair that everyone used to compliment but recently I have lost a great portion of it. I have gotten tests done to see if it was from a medical issue but the results always came back as normal. I assumed that it came from stress. I usually split my hair down the middle as well and used to be able to flip it but now there are bald spots that I am embarrassed by. Since I lost a lot of hair my split down the middle is quite bold. I began to take Nutrafol recently and I’m hoping it works. I have a hair appointment coming up and I want to do something different to change up my hair and make it fuller. I have always wanted to get bangs so bad but I’m not sure if that’s the best idea because of my hair. Does anyone have any opinions or pointers on what I should do?
I'm so sorry you're struggling with that. I have a video here on how to cover your scalp if you're interested: czcams.com/video/9yzGHAAAv8Q/video.html
@@GenaMarie Thank you!
Fragrance in products don’t bother me at all. However I’m very curious about this lone because the shine component.
Do you found protein ingredients from this line?
No, these are all protein free. I’m sure they’ll expand with protein though one day!
Does it matter if neither the shine cream n gel r protein free? I thought it was good to at least use 1 with protein.....u make it so simple n I still don't get it right 🤔😁🤔😁
I have dry, thin hairs and curly frizzy.
Jessicurl has fragrance free.....wish u will make tutorial using this brand.
They're on my list to try!
Omg yes! I literally only buy things if she does a video on them 😂 because she sees me all the work on researching the ingredients and what they are for and I’ve been dying to try their gel Leave in and deep conditioner so fingers crossed she gets into them soon! 🤞🏽
Wish the gel was glycerin free also. Its not a good thing for me in the cold dry winters.
It’s not as bad in the winter as you think 😉 I’ll have a video up next debunking avoiding glycerin in the winter and how to best use it. 💕
These products may not have a scent, but they do have fragrance. Hops, lemon peel extract and jasmine. All fragrance ingredients.
I bought the travel sizes of this line to try. There is no scent to them at all.
There are no fragrance ingredients and I don't smell any lemon or jasmine. They are dermatologically tested and rated safe for sensitive skin. There is a smell to the Shine Jelly as I mentioned in text towards the end of the video, however Curlsmith said that it's due to the styling agents and assured me that there are no added fragrances.
You are extraordinarly beautiful from every angle
Thanks so much!
I don't mind a very subtle fragrance, but CS fragrance is so extreme. No need for that. They loose business with the overpowering smells.
It really is an extreme amount of scent. I don't know why they do that it's really off putting.
i do not have the money for all this :(
