The photo is one I took when I first received the product. The formula is a rich, creamy texture with a subtle and sophisticated fragrance. I tend to dislike artificial scents, but I really liked this product. To use, you apply an appropriate amount to slightly damp hair, style as desired, and then let it dry. I found that spreading the cream in my palms and scrunching my hair as it dried helped create a natural-looking volume. Typically, curls tend to fall flat and look messy over time, but the curl cream helped maintain a firm and voluminous look. If you have good drying skills, you can style it even more beautifully.
ConsFor those with sensitive scalps, we recommend applying it only lightly to the ends of the hair.
TipIf you only partially dry your hair and then use the cream, you can achieve a neat, defined curl with minimal frizziness when fully dry.

My hair usually spreads out in different directions, and my bangs are quite curly, but this product definitely helps create a nice curl shape that I like! - The scent is a mix of a bit of herbal and banana (synthetic-like banana scent). There's also a slight salon-like smell... The scent seems to be quite polarizing, but I personally found it okay! - The formula isn't too heavy and sticky, which I like. Curl creams can sometimes make the hair look overly styled, but this product isn't too sticky, so it's easy to apply.
Cons-It doesn't really provide a nourishing feel to the hair, so I'd recommend using a separate hair essence and just using this product lightly to set the curl before going out. -There's a slightly sticky feeling left on the hands after use, so you'll need to wash your hands after applying... But if it wasn't sticky at all, the curl hold might not be as good, right? Ugh...

After washing my hair and applying this cream when it's slightly damp, the curls come to life and my frizzy hair becomes more manageable, she said. It goes on smoothly and keeps the curl well even when my hair is completely dry. The scent is not too strong, but subtle, which I like.
ConsMy mom said she doesn't have any complaints about it yet. It must be that good.

You only need a coin-sized amount to apply, and it has great spreadability and absorption. It absorbs quickly and has excellent hold. For those who want more volume than a natural hairstyle, this product would likely be very satisfying. It maintains a bouncy, curly look. The fragrance is strong, but not unpleasant. The packaging is well-made, with a clean and attractive design. I'm pleased that they used an eco-friendly box with recyclable single-use packaging.
ConsWhile the absorption and spreadability are good, using even a small amount can make your hair look overly styled, like it's clumped together. You'll likely need to experiment with the amount and usage to find the right application for your needs. As this product is focused more on styling than nourishment, it may be difficult to use daily.
TipThe instructions suggest applying to damp hair, but I think it's better to apply this product to hair that's about 10% dry, lightly coating the strands, then completing your style. Minimize further drying after styling for the best results.

When placed on the back of my hand, it doesn't drip down easily. 🥑 Fragrance: It has a scent reminiscent of the perfume my mother used to wear when I was young, with a hint of my father's skincare products. It's somewhat refreshing, but not overpowering or unpleasant. 🥑 Holding Power: I previously used the Amos Curling Essence for a long time. Compared to other brands, the curl-holding power and curl retention are not exceptional, but they're not bad either, just about average.
Cons🍐 Price: Compared to the Amos Curling Essence I used previously, this product is more expensive, even though the volume is the same. 🍐 Moisture: As this is a curl cream, using it alone on my damaged hair made the ends feel dry and frizzy. For damaged hair, it's better to apply an oil essence to damp hair, lightly dry it, and then apply the curl cream while the hair is still slightly damp.

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!

It's not sticky at all. ⭐The scent is natural and subtle, which is comfortable and pleasant. While some may have mixed opinions about the laundry-like fragrance, I personally love it. ⭐This can be used not only for adding curls, but also as a hair care product for frizzy hair. ⭐For my extremely voluminous and long hair that reaches my chest, about the size of a 500-won coin is sufficient. ⭐I have severely damaged hair from bleaching, and while some reviews suggest not using it for such hair, it seems to work well for me. Applying it visibly reduces the damage.
Cons🌕 The downside is that it contains some undesirable ingredients. 🌕 The price is a bit high considering the amount.
TipCompared to hair oils, this product provides a more refreshing feel, so it could be a good option for those who dislike heavy, greasy textures.

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.ProsHere is an honest review after using the product for a few days! First, I was a bit surprised that the fragrance was different from what I had expected! It has a floral+herb scent? I can feel a cool, grassy note, and I think it might be divisive. However, the fragrance becomes more subtle over time. If you smell it deeply, it has a strong impact? But it didn't bother me too much. The texture is slightly tacky but completely oil-free, with a refreshing cream texture. It applies cleanly without any residue, which I liked. Personally, it was just right - not too light nor too heavy. And since I have naturally straight hair, I couldn't really feel the effects when my hair was wet. But when I used it after lightly curling my hair, the hold was definitely better! It was perfect for creating a natural style. For those who don't style their hair, using it on dry hair rather than wet hair would probably be more effective. I think I'll use it well after blow-drying my hair.
ConsAs I mentioned earlier, the fragrance is really divisive. Other than that, there don't seem to be any major downsides. The fragrance is really disappointing... It would be better if they changed the scent or made it more subtle and gentle. Also, it might feel a bit drying for those with dry hair.
Tip- I'd like to recommend this curl cream to those who have permed hair! It maintains a refreshing and clean hold. - It's more suitable for oily to combination hair types, rather than very dry hair. - If you have permed hair, I'd recommend using it on both wet and dry hair. - For naturally straight hair, using it on dry hair after styling is recommended rather than on wet hair.

It brushed through nicely and the creamy formula didn't feel sticky or heavy. While some reviews mentioned the scent being unpleasant, I actually found the subtle herbal fragrance to be quite sophisticated and not overpowering. It's an uncommon scent that I enjoyed, and the smooth application was great.
ConsThis product is truly meant to maintain curls. It doesn't really affect moisture or hair condition. Unfortunately, my hair is extremely damaged - frequent coloring has left the ends terribly dry and brittle, to the point of becoming stiff and breaking. So I gave it to my mom. She says it's good, as it helps hold the shape and her hair doesn't die as much.
TipThis product doesn't seem suitable for virgin hair or severely damaged hair. After using oil and hair packs to calm my frayed ends, the breakage stopped. I'd recommend this for permed hair or those with healthy hair condition.
