My curls love it

I absolutely love this cleansing cream for my curly hair! It provides the perfect balance of cleansing and hydration without stripping my hair. The creamy, no-lather formula makes my curls feel soft, nourished, and manageable. The cocoa butter and plant-based cleansers work together to gently remove buildup while locking in moisture, leaving my hair feeling refreshed and hydrated. I also appreciate that it’s lightweight and doesn’t weigh my curls down. The added ingredients like aloe and moringa seed oil help keep my curls defined, reducing frizz and making detangling easier. My hair feels healthier, bouncier, and more moisturized after every use. It’s a great option for anyone looking to simplify their wash routine while keeping their curls healthy and defined. Highly recommend for all curly hair types!

New For Me!!!

This product was new to me. I’ve never used any cleansing hair products other than shampoo. But I’m not mad at the product AT ALL!!! It foamed a little but not too much, it was more so creamy. Closer to the texture of conditioner. The only bad thing for me, was that the product was a little in the heavier side, so it took a while for me to evenly distribute it through my hair. But I’ll take that any day if I have more noticeably clean hair that’s also getting moisturized at the same time. I love this product as like a cowash on days or weeks when you don’t really need to wash your hair again BUT you need the wash day routine for the style you would like to accomplish. And last but not least, just like the rest of the products in the Surface Curls line, this product smells sooooo good.

Perfect Plant Based Cleanser

The first thing I noticed about this product was the sleek packaging. I noticed the scent immediately after. It smells soooooo good. If you are a gourmand girl you are going to love this ! It has a sweet chocolatey smell. I contributed that to the cocoa butter in it. But I could not stop smelling my hair . This is a cleansing cream not a shampoo ! I had to keep reminding myself of that because I expected it to behave like a shampoo. Though it left my hair feeling clean and refreshed it did not lather as nicely as I wanted it too . I would say it is more like a cowash than a shampoo. If you have a lot of product build up this probably wouldn’t do much . I used this on my human hair extensions and it brought the curls back to life. I can’t wait to try it on my natural hair .

Very good for curly hair

Curls Cleansing Cream from Surface has truly been a revelation for me, and I am impressed by its effectiveness! It is one of the best products for curly hair that I’ve ever tried. From the very first use, I noticed how it transformed my hair: it became incredibly soft, smooth, and well-cared-for. This cleansing cream really works without drying out the hair, but rather, it preserves its natural moisture and elasticity. The texture of the product is simply wonderful. It’s creamy and thick, which makes it easy to distribute evenly through the length of my hair. And even though it doesn’t foam as much as regular shampoos, that’s not a problem because the cleansing effect is truly remarkable. My hair feels clean but not dry or “fluffy.” It effectively cleanses the hair from dirt and styling product residues, but without damaging the hair’s structure. What I especially appreciate is the product’s ingredients. I really value that it doesn’t contain sulfates or parabens, making it gentler and suitable for everyday use. The avocado and coconut oils in the formula provide extra moisture, nourishment, and protection to my hair. I’ve noticed that my curls are more defined, softer, and even less frizzy.

Hydrating cleaning cream

If there’s one thing i care about it’s definitely the health of my hair. I find with a lot of products my hair and scalp doesn’t completely get clean with certain products, leaving a film or product build up. When i tell you this cleansing cream has helped make my scalp and hair feel so refreshed, clean and hydrated, i cannot tell you enough! I’m used to products that lather, but this was amazing. My hair didn’t feel stripped afterwards and it left my hair super soft. The smell is like a nice warm shea butter which i adore! (Goes along the scents of my other body products). I love that you don’t need to use half the bottle to get a good wash out of it. Most cleansers I’m cleaning my hair in the shower 2-3 times in one wash. But this got the job done in one go. Loved it!

Cleansing Cream is a curl's best friend

I was introduced to cream cleansers and co-wash products this past year and it really has been happy discovery for my curl care. I will use those type of products once or twice a week and use regular shampoo one time a week if I need to remove product buildup. The Curls Cleansing Cream from Surface is absolutely wonderful for my hair. It takes very little product and you apply to wet hair and massage massage massage. As per instructions, you continue to massage as you are rinsing out the product. If you are not used to a non-lathering product, it will take some adjustment because it feels very different. It really does help your curls retain the natural moisture they need, though! My hair has felt very soft and my curls look great. I am delighted that I was introduced to this brand and product.

Surface Hair Curl Cleansing Cream

As a cosmetologist and makeup artist with two years of experience, I’m always searching for high-quality haircare products that truly perform. Surface Hair’s Curl Cleansing Cream is a standout! From the very first use, I was impressed by how well it balances both cleansing and nourishment—a true two-in-one formula that simplifies wash day without compromising results.The texture is rich and creamy, melting into the hair effortlessly. It feels just as luxurious as it performs, providing a gentle cleanse without stripping the hair of its natural oils. And the scent? Absolutely divine! It has a fresh, inviting fragrance that makes the experience even more enjoyable.To really test its hydrating power, I applied the Curl Cleansing Cream and sat under a steamer for twenty minutes. The results were incredible—my color-treated curls felt soft, deeply hydrated, and had a beautiful, healthy shine. Unlike some cleansing creams that leave hair feeling coated or heavy, this one rinsed clean while still locking in moisture.I would highly recommend this product to anyone with curls looking for a gentle yet effective cleansing experience. Whether you have color-treated, dry, or frizz-prone curls, this cream delivers on its promise of hydration and nourishment. It’s a must-have in any curl care routine!

Smells delicious!

Ok my Picture below shows the cycle of my 3C hair . I’m Biracial so my hair is curly , coily and course. So being able to use the cream cleanser and it not strip my oils or dry out my hair by doing a Co Wash on my hair with this product was amazing. Texture- Super smooth , easy to blending into my curls and rub into my hair . Smell - Wow , I wish I could have a perfume or hair perfume of this smell . It smells like vanilla and sugar I’ve never smelled a hair product that smelled this amazing in awhile . Overall- I love this idea and love the ingredients, I love they give you enough in the packaging because curly hair needs a lot of product to be able to wash our hair type . But I love that I can use this product on my biracial hair type ! That’s annoying bonus to me and be able to go straight if I choose .

Great scent but didn’t keep curls intact

I am a thirty four year old beauty enthusiast who has straight/slightly waived hair. I love curling my hair to change up my look. I have never even heard of a cleansing cream before so I was so eager to try it. Usually once my hair touches water it immediately turns straight again. Washing it with this curls cleansing cream gave me hope it would hold its curl while gently cleansing it. Well my hair did not hold its curl but I did not expect it too. I did however absolutely love the scent of this product. It was just like cocoa butter! It also didn’t foam. It was just like a hair conditioner but with much needed cleansing power that I really need too. I really like this product and will use it on my curled hair days and with the Surface system.

Nice and Moisturizing.

My scalp got really clean when I used this as my conditioner. I like the thick texture and the scent is absolutely amazing. I have very thick, dry, thirsty 4C coily hair that needs all the moisture it can get. It was easy to detangle my hair in the shower. I felt I needed less product than I usually do which is greatly appreciated since coily hair can go through a huge amount of conditioner. It felt thick and moisturizing in my hair although it didn’t leave my hair as immediately soft as I like it. My hair is holding on to moisture well and I’m on day 3 of my wash and go. I would recommend this to people whose hair usually feels stripped of moisture and shine after they use traditional shampoos and conditioners or people whose hair needs extra moisture.

Amazing Hair Cleanser!

I'm always on the lookout for a great hair cream cleanser, and I found exactly that with the Surface Haircare line. I was immediately impressed by the scent of the Curls line—luxurious yet not overpowering. It smells like a vanilla/cocoa butter indulgence! The cleanser has a lovely texture and does an excellent job of cleaning my 2B hair. It’s so good that it makes me want to wash my hair every day! What I love most about the Curls Cleansing Cream is that it doesn’t strip my hair at all. Instead, my hair feels incredibly soft and looks healthier than ever. People constantly ask me what I’m using because of how soft my hair is! I'm constantly telling my husband to stop touching my hair. I will definitely be repurchasing this—it’s truly an amazing cleanser.

Smells amazing!

if you want a cleanser that not only smells delectable but actually helps cleanse your hair this is great for you! This cleanser ensures that your hair feels soft and clean which leaves your hair feeling fresh, without leaving your hair frizzy and dry. I apply this in the shower and scrunch it through. I love the gourmand scent to it , it isn’t overly sweet which is perfect , I have 2C hair and thick so I used a dime size amount this is good enough so I didn’t have to use as much to rake it in my hair. I enjoyed it a lot, the experience with this was amazing I felt my hair become soft and made my dry hair not frizzy , i can use this before my conditioner and add it to my hair routine. My hair is also long and I like that it’s thick enough to run it through

Effortless Curl Care

As a 53-year-old man with naturally slightly wavy hair, I’ve been looking for something that manages curls while being gentle. Surface Curls Cleansing Cream impressed me. It has a rich texture that lightly lathers, cleansing without stripping natural oils. My hair felt clean yet still hydrated—crucial for curly hair.What I liked most was how it removed buildup without causing frizz or dryness, unlike other shampoos. After using it, my waves were soft, defined, and well-moisturized. The sulfate-free formula helps maintain the natural curl pattern, which is a huge plus.The scent is subtle and pleasant, and the natural ingredients are something I appreciate more as I get older. It’s gentle on the hair and doesn't create the foamy mess that harsher products do, working more like a co-wash. After one use, my curls had frizz control, hydration, and a great smell, without needing extra curl cream.For any guy with curly or wavy hair, this product is definitely worth a try. It makes your hair look and feel great, all in one step.

Surface Hair: Cleansing Oil

The Surface Hair Curls cleansing cream is nice and smells wonderful when applied to your hair. It has the scent and consistency of Chobani yogurt and chocolate and smells DeVine. It has made washing my hair a more enjoyable experience. I usually wet my hair in the shower to apply it, I Start from the scalp and use my fingertips to scrub to cleanse my scalp, I let the rest of the product run down my strands so I won't dry it out, Then after my hair starts to dry I begin putting my hair in a protective style and put a leave-in conditioner in my hair. The first photo is my hair freshly washed out of the shower, no product. The second photo is my hair with the oil gel added. The third photo is my hair with the hir cream wax added. Surface hair is now a staple for me.

I love this cleansing balm!

I have 2B-3A curls and fine hair, and I recently tried the Surface Curls Cleansing Cream, and wow, I really love the results! The first thing I noticed is the amazing smell—it’s like chocolate marshmallow, and I absolutely love it. The scent lingers just enough without being overpowering, which makes it even better!One of my biggest concerns with using a cleansing cream was that it would make my hair heavy or weighed down, especially since other cleansing creams I’ve tried in the past have done just that. But this product did the complete opposite! It didn’t leave my hair feeling heavy at all. Instead, it hydrated my curls beautifully, adding incredible volume that I honestly wasn’t expecting. My curls looked bouncy and full without feeling weighed down, which is a win in my book.Since this is a cleansing cream, you do need a bit more than a regular shampoo, ok, in my case it is a lot more but it’s totally worth it for the results. The creamy texture lathers well and doesn’t strip my hair, which is a huge plus. Another thing I’ve noticed is that after using this cleansing cream, I need much less of my usual hair balm to keep my curls soft. It’s like the cleansing cream does half the job for me!Overall, I’m really happy with how this product has worked on my hair. It gives me the perfect balance of hydration, volume, and softness, and I’m definitely adding it to my regular hair care routine. Highly recommend for anyone with curls, especially if you have fine hair like mine!

Surface Hair Curls Cleansing Cream

Surface Hair’s Curls Cleansing Cream is amazing! The scent is everything I love—shea butter, coconut, and vanilla—warm and inviting. I have thick, dry 3C/4A curls, and this product worked beautifully without needing a ton of it. The scent lingers just enough to keep my hair smelling fresh and cozy all day. I also love that it’s free from harsh ingredients, making it a safe and gentle choice for curly hair. The texture is rich and creamy, spreading easily through my hair while gently cleansing without stripping moisture. The product is lightweight but effective, making my scalp feel clean yet nourished. It also made detangling easier and left my hair feeling refreshed. Unlike other cleansers, it doesn’t leave my hair feeling stripped or dry. My curls looked more defined and frizz-free, and felt soft, hydrated, and bouncy after rinsing. I noticed less breakage after washing. It’s perfect for anyone needing moisture without buildup. Definitely a staple in my routine! 🫧🏿‍️

Love Love Love

This cleansing cream was absolutely everything for my hair. After using it, my hair felt incredibly soft. My hair naturally struggles in the winter and it gets really dry, so this product is great because it softens my hair and also makes it feel moisturized. A little goes a long way as I did not even have to use that much product. I used about a pearl sized worth, maybe slightly more, and it was able to spread throughout my whole head. The consistency is pretty much like a regular conditioner consistency where it is not watery but not too thick. The cleanser definitely does not lather at all and it is very easy to rub and massage into your scalp. It is basically a cleanser that works and has properties like that of a conditioner. I would definitely recommend this product because of how clean and soft my and hair and scalp felt after using it.
