I used to use an oil-based product, but this cream-based one really helps tame my messy curls. ☑️ Long-lasting Hold! - As someone with fine, straight hair, I usually struggle with styling, but after a perm and using this curl cream, the curls definitely last longer. The hold is impressive! ☑️ Nourishing Ingredients for Hair Protection! - It contains extracts from white lotus flowers that protect hair keratin, strengthen hair elasticity, and provide moisture and shine with herb extracts and glycerin.
ConsThe only potential downside is that the scent may be divisive (personal opinion).
Tip❤️ First, blow-dry your hair about 80% dry, then apply the cream generously. Style and blow-dry according to your curl pattern, and your waves will come alive with a beautiful shine! The once-limp waves now look full and vibrant, as if they've been revived.

The curling power lasted throughout my daily activities! - The tube packaging makes it easy to control the amount of product. Although it's a cream, it feels like a hard-hold product when styling the curls.
Cons- The product instructions say to apply it to wet hair, but when I did that and then dried my hair, it ended up feeling clumped and matted, like damp hair.
Tip- I would recommend applying the product after your hair is fully dry, but before it's completely set. - With a few tries, you can find the right amount for your hair and achieve long-lasting, defined curls.

It was the best curl cream I've tried so far, and I will definitely repurchase it. The effect was great - the perm looked bouncy and the waves were clearly visible. The hold was also satisfactory for me personally. Of course, it's not as strong as a hairspray, but hairsprays can sometimes make the hair look too stiff and difficult to work with. This product was just right. Even though my hair is slightly wavy, the last time I had a perm was a year and a half ago, so when I just air-dried my hair, it would have a fluffy, wavy look but the perm waves would be gone. (My hair also got too long, so I had to keep trimming it.) This product allowed me to recreate the look of my hair right after a perm. It was also great for maintaining the curl when I used a curling iron. The scent is kind of herbal...? It's a bit divisive, but personally, I didn't dislike it. The scent is faint and mostly disappears once you apply it to your hair, so it wasn't bothersome at all. I got used to it over time, and while it's not a plus, it's definitely not a negative either. As for the application, I experimented to find the best results. It doesn't seem to work as well on completely wet hair. For someone who has already permed their hair and has some curl, applying it when the hair is about 60-70% dry seems to be the sweet spot in my experience. I noticed the curl lasted better when I applied it after using a curling iron as well. Rather than just squeezing the product onto your hand, it's better to dispense it onto your fingertips and then use your fingers to really work it into the curls, almost like you're squeezing the curls. I found this method to be more effective.
ConsThis product has nothing to do with hydration or moisturizing. Even though my hair is on the drier side, I had to use a separate moisturizing product alongside this curl cream. When I tried using just the curl cream without any oils or other products, my hair ended up looking super frizzy... What's the point of curl if it's just going to be a frizzy mess? If your hair is dry and damaged, be sure to use this curl cream together with your regular moisturizing products. I also don't think this would be very effective for people with naturally straight hair who haven't permed or used a curling iron. It's more about reviving and enhancing existing curl, rather than creating curl from scratch. It makes the waves and curls look more defined and bouncy, but it can't create curl out of straight hair.
TipIf you've permed your hair or use a curling iron frequently, I definitely recommend trying this product. However, if you have naturally straight hair and don't use a curling iron, you may want to reconsider. Be sure to use a separate moisturizing product along with this curl cream. For those who have permed hair, the best time to apply it seems to be when the hair is about 60-70% dry. Applying it to completely wet hair may not be as effective.

When I apply the curl cream, I can keep my curls all day, and the hold is pretty good, except on rainy days. As a first-time user, I think the product performs well. After applying and drying, the curls at the ends are nicely set and stay in place all day!
ConsAs a first-time user of the Chahong products, I found the fragrance to be quite off-putting. Fragrance is a matter of personal preference, but this one seems to be quite strong, almost like a perm or hair dye solution - a sharp, pungent scent that I, as someone who prefers more subtle fragrances, did not care for. When I wear it in the morning, the scent lingers all day, and the faint remnants are the best part.😢 I imagine the fragrance will be divisive, as it's quite strong. While the curl hold is good, the fragrance makes it difficult for me to use this product regularly. It's a shame.
TipWhen I mixed in another perfume to layer the fragrance, it helped improve the scent a bit!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis was my first time using a curl cream! For someone like me who had only used products that made my hair stiff like hairspray, this curl cream was a whole new world 🤩 It has a texture that feels like a blend of essence and wax. While it still holds my hair in place, it was so nice that my hair was still brushable! When I use hairspray to hold my hair, the strong scent is too much, and when I style my hair up close, it looks a bit unnatural. This product is not like that 💪 If you want a natural-smelling and effortless hair look, I highly recommend this!
ConsSince I didn't have any prior experience using it, I had some difficulty adjusting the amount. I realized I need to adjust it based on my individual hair length and texture. And there was a slight stickiness after use. But this is a common phenomenon for hair-fixing products, so I wouldn't consider it a major downside. I just had to be more diligent in rinsing it out when washing my hair.
TipI have long, virgin hair that reaches down below my chest, and my hair is very fine and voluminous. I have a dry scalp and bleached hair. Those with similar hair texture to mine might find that using about the size of a 100-won coin is the right amount:) There may be individual differences, but after using the product a few times, I found this amount to be the most suitable. I also have a YouTube channel run by Chahong, where there are videos on how to use the curl cream. So if you're not very familiar with using hair products like me, watching those videos might be helpful.

It has a slightly old-fashioned salon smell? When applied after a perm, it provides good hold and the curls will bounce back nicely. Unfortunately, since my perm has been in for a while, I didn't see a significant effect when I washed my hair and applied it. But when I used a curling iron and applied it lightly, it seemed to hold the style well.
ConsIt doesn't have any moisturizing or nourishing functions - it's simply a styling product to hold the curl. If you don't apply it evenly in small amounts, it will harden and become stiff. It has a soft wax-like feel? The product left on your hands hardens into a rigid state. It's good for use after a perm, but those who blow dry or use a curling iron may not find it as useful.
TipAs mentioned above, for those who have had a perm, applying it right after washing your hair should help revive the curls nicely~ I'll try purchasing and using it the next time I style my hair.

The cream doesn't feel heavy or overly sticky, and it absorbs quickly. There were many reviews saying the scent was divisive, but I liked the scent. After drying, the scent becomes more subtle and even better!! This is the first curling product I've tried, and the hold seems quite good. If you're looking for a trusted Chahong curling product, I'd recommend this one.
ConsSince my hair is severely damaged, I tend to focus more on moisturizing and improving hair texture, but this product is mainly for curling, so I didn't see much effect on my natural hair. However, it did help a bit with fixing the front part of my hair. I don't have any major complaints.
Tip🕵🏻♀️ I'd recommend this to those who want curling and hold, especially if you have permed or limp hair. 🕵🏻♀️ If you're looking for an alternative to hairspray or wax, this could be a good option. 🕵🏻♀️ For those with natural hair like me, it's best to use this after drying, not when the hair is wet (this is not recommended for oily hair types though). It doesn't make the hair greasy, but just in case!

Hair Condition 7 months since perm Fine and limp hair Sparse hair Usually just dry the scalp and air-dry the hair Used a total of 4 times 2. Hold Very good. Other curl creams help maintain the curl, but the curl tends to droop a lot. The Flexible Curl Cream keeps the curl alive from the side of the ears. It seems the strong hold is the reason for this, with a feeling of a mix of mousse and spray. 3. Cleansing Power I was worried that with the strong hold, the hair might fall out a lot or not wash off well when shampooing, but it was no different from my usual shampooing. 4. Fragrance The fragrance was not bad, as many people have mentioned. It is artificial, but the fragrance does not linger for long, so it was not an issue when using.
Cons5. Moisture Since the curl hold is so good, it seems greedy to hope for the hair to look moisturized and have a good texture. But it is quite disappointing, as the hair ends look dry. 6. Photos Before application After application Comparison of applied and unapplied sides
TipThe hair may look even drier once fully dry and applied. Applying an oil or hair essence after using it may help make it a bit more moisturized.

Unlike other hair product posts, the feel was light!! The curl also looked shiny and glossy, and it was easy to scoop out and apply smoothly!! When I used it to add waves with a curling iron, the curl stayed like a perm, which I really liked!! I think it would be even better for those who have perms! Especially if your perm starts to get frizzy and rough after a few months, using this cream can help extend the perm's hold and make styling easier!! I recommend it for those people👍
ConsThe one really big downside is...the smell...the smell is quite unique...as it's a hair product, the smell is particularly noticeable to me, and every time I apply it, I'm a bit troubled by the smell and end up putting it down...
TipAs mentioned above, I recommend this for those who have had a perm for a long time!!

When squeezed out, the contents do not flow down and maintain their shape, and can be smoothly applied. - Usage and curl hold Applying it to slightly damp hair and drying it will provide better curl hold, but I use it on dry hair as well. It does not have as strong a hold as wax or spray, but it has about the same hold as a soft wax. Most importantly, after applying, the hair does not get tangled or look overly styled, which is great. If you prefer a natural styling look, you will be satisfied with the product performance. - Packaging and volume I don't use the curl cream daily, but only occasionally, and the amount used is small, so after using it for about 6 months, the volume has hardly decreased. The tube-type packaging makes it easy to control the amount, and there is little risk of the contents deteriorating or hardening, which is good.
Cons- Fragrance Personally, I don't like products with strong fragrances, and this product has a fragrance that is too strong. It has a strong artificial scent, so it may be a love-or-hate product. The fragrance does become a bit weaker over time after applying it to the hair, but I would prefer a different fragrance that is less like something you'd find in a salon.
