I was really hesitant to buy this product but I did, and I have no regrets. My expectations for curl definition were low because I have type 4 hair. I typically like to use curl activators as a styler for hold when doing cornrows/braids. But to my surprise it actually curled my hair when I used it in combination with a crave brush. It provides a really good hold without being hard or crunchy! It gives my hair shine. The scent is good (you can tell it's a honey product). It doesn't dry out my hair and keeps moisture in. The price is affordable. It is 10/10 all around. I cannot say if it mixes well with other products because I haven't done so. It's great as a stand alone product, I really don't need a gel or leave-in with it.
