Design.Me BOUNCE.ME Curl Balm and Cream for Curly Hair with Nourishing Argan Oil | Wave, Coil, and Curl Defining Cream | Sulfate Free and Paraben Free (8.5 Fl Oz)

My favorite curly to wavy hair treatment EVER!
I started using this product, Bounce.Me curl balm, about 2 years ago. I bought it at discounted price on a whim through an Ipsy promotion. But now I can’t live without it.It has the best consistency of a few hair balms I had tried. It’s a little thick, and when I first opened it to try it I thought it was going to be a marshmallow cream kind of texture. It is a white color from the tube, but it definitely has a looser more wet consistency than marshmallow cream. Mostly I use it on my hair while it is still pretty wet, not quite dripping wet. If my hair isn’t wet enough I do add a few drops of water to the balm, just to help it work thorough my hair. This stuff is like magic. I have never had another product work so perfectly and give my fine curly/wavy hair a better staying power. It also gives a nice shine to my ringlets. My curls last so much longer! Before the Curl Balm came into my life hair products would only give me curls that lasted a few hours…tops. I can go basically all day without needing to dig a hair pick out of my purse to revive the body. Years aback I would make it half way through my day and have my hair go flat. I’d have to wet my hands in the bathroom and re-scrunch my curls with some water to revive them. Now when I check my hair in the mirror, it just wows me because this product really keeps my curls looking fresh. And a bonus is this, so if I actually sleep on my curls and cause them to flatten, all it takes is a few fluffs with my hands or hair pick and a fairly good spray with my continuous water mister and that’s all I need to revive my curls for a second day.Typically I use a good base of Curl Balm coated on my hands, about a quarter size with a splash or two of water. I put the balm thoroughly on my shoulder length hair, making sure I coat on all sides of my head. (I do also use a light touch of firm gel by Paul Mitchell just at the roots on top my head, and a little Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam scrunched on the back of my hair). I let my hair air dry for about 10 minutes, then diffuse my hair to damp/dry while scrunching and kind of loosening up the cast.The Designme Curl Balm made me love having curly hair again. Seeing that butter yellow Bounce.Me… bottle in my hair product basket… Totally gives me joy! It is truly a game changer and goes just perfectly with my hair prep.

Does not weigh low porosity hair type down and smells good
Great for wavy , low porosity hair type. Does not weigh my hair down, smells great, great amount of product for the price.

Interesting product
I’d never used this product before and it’s interesting. It’s a styling cream, but the texture is not like most styling creams. This one is lighter, and stickier. When I apply it and air dry my hair, it acquires a gel-like texture (it leaves a hard-ish layer on my hair), unlike any other cream I’ve used before. I like the scent and way it leaves my waves looking, but it’s not very hydrating, at least for me.Overall it’s a good product

Good quality, just not right for me
Product provided great hold but was too sticky for my taste. I tried several different ways of application and no matter which way I applied it my hair stayed “wet looking” and was too “crunchy”. I took it with me and asked my stylist to apply it and had the same results. Just not the right product for me

This is a very expensive curl balm – at the time of writing this it’s over £40 which is extortionate. I spent, if I recall, a bit under the £30 mark because my hair was in a funk and I was desperate for anything that would work – and even then I think I paid far too much! For context, I’m currently using a £7 curl cream which blows this out of the water. It’s not terrible – I’ve used far worse – but it’s also not amazing. The price point is far too high for ‘just ok’. It does form a hard cast on hair (which is good for those who want a hard cast) but it is very hard to scrunch the hardness and crispiness out. I don’t think it helped with bounce, contrary to the name, and it’s very easy to overuse which leads to more lank and weighed down than bouncy. I noticed no real difference to frizz. But on a good day, it made hair look fine – not amazing, not wondrously curly and voluminous, just fine. However, at this (currently rising) price point I really can’t say it’s worth it when there are far better out there.

My only complaint is that I wish I could get a larger bottle. I apply this after i condition my hair and detangle it. I go through each clump of curls, detangling further, and purposely soaking them in the product. Then i put it up in a towel to get out of the shower and finish whatever else, but then swap the towel for a tshirt and let it sit for a while, then air dry it afterwards. I then apply more argan oil, put it up in a sleep cap, and the photo is what i get the next day.This honestly works like a charm and i barely use any other products because of how much of a game changer this lotion was. Ive even tried the shea moisturizing balm and while it does the job, this gets me extremely soft and defined curls with way less frizz. Honestly the best curly hair product Ive ever used!
