Lightweight Feel: It's not oily, sticky, or heavy at all. My hair felt natural and free.

PRO & CON:
This cream is nice and thick & which is good and bad for me. It does moisturize my really dry hair but I have to be so careful about using JUST the right amount. If I use even a little bit too much, this turns my gray/dark brown hair white until I can soak some out with a towel. Also, it takes a while to completely absorb and dry - no matter how much I use. So I can't touch my hair for a while unless I want problems with transferring to paperwork, clothing, etc.
The cream is not solid but it's thick & rich enough that it might be packaged better in a jar. Trying to get this out of the bottle is annoying. I have started leaving it stored cap side down just so I don't have to fool around with it every time I need to use it.
I like it because it does the job. I get fast curls activation - even with a little and on dry hair. The smell is so faint I barely notice any and what I do notice is inoffensive. And the shine! This makes my hair so glossy without feeling overly greasy (once it dries). There is a very slight waxy feel left on your hands if you touch your hair once the cream has dried, but it's not really messy.
My hair is so short since I cut it that I can do my entire head using 3 penny-sized dots of this. That's good because the jar will last a really long time.
