I feel that every curling product that came out after this item is trying to top it. It gives me the most uniform curls as well as the longest lasting. I never have an issue with it when I use it, Lovely results every time. The slimy feel of the custard took some getting use to but after a little practice I know a little bit is best. It also slides down my hair easier when soaking wet. I find that I can use this in the winter or summer. For some it doesnt work but for my hair, Ive found its a winner.
