This cream is 10 outta 10!! One of the few

This cream is 10 outta 10!! One of the few creams that doesn't weigh down my fine curls and make them look oily! It also gives a little hold, so I can use it on its own for lightweight airy curls!
It also pairs amazingly with the other products in the Weightless collection. I couldn't be more pleased with this collection! I love it so much!!

Love this new line

I took a chance at this new line because my curls are very fine and easily weighed down by product. I have no regrets - my curls loved this! For reference, I have fine and dry 3a/b-ish curls and I applied on soaking wet hair along with the light hold cream gel.

Great product. Jelly better?

Great product but Jelly might be better? Bought from Sephora. I saw Bianca Rene Today’s review on YouTube and immediately purchased it. I tested it on 1 half of my hair and did the jelly on the other. Both hold true to the weightless claim. Can’t tell there’s any product in my hair when I touch it. But the jelly definitely had a nicer hold and I normally don’t use gels of any kind. I’m more of a lotions or cream products so I was very surprised when I favored the jelly over the cream. Gave 4 stars because the product is still really great, I just find that I enjoyed the jelly more than this one. Cream on the left and jelly on the right. Hair fully dried.

light but powerful

I have been using the medium moisture line for over a decade and it is perfect for me and my tight curl pattern. I just wanted to try the new line and so I did, I got the entire new lite line and all the products are great even for my hair. I'd say it just gives me more volume due to lighter moisture and hold, it springs up more. This lite cream feels and looks like but only a little is needed and it is powerful for a light moisture. And of course the whole line smells amazing. Def recommend

Pleasantly Surprised!

I absolutely love the Defining Butta for my coily hair but I decided to try this out to accompany it. The Butta is heavier and I didn't feel the need to use it daily. The idea of a weightless lotion I could use on refresh days was intriguing and I LOVE IT!! I use the Defining Butta after wash days to "set" my curls and use this on refresh days. It's so light and my hair has zero frizz in the FL humidity! My only issue is it's always SOLD OUT and I haven't found a single Sephora that carries this yet! I hope it comes back in stock soon!

very fine 3 b Curls

very fine 3 b Curls. Heavier products not only felt weighty, they also felt like they were stronger than my hair, and created damage. I switched to the weightless line, and between the gel and the cream I am in love with how bouncy and soft my curls are. First day crunch exists, nut it goes away and I am at day 3 and day 4 with beautiful curls. I do still use the clumping cream as a first step post wash, then the styling cream. a light coating of the gel as a finisher is just perfect

I honestly love the whole collection… my hair

I honestly love the whole collection… my hair looks so moist and hydrated. A little does go a long way, especially with my fine curly hair.
I find using the thermal guard more beneficial sometimes. But, if I put a little bit of the thermal guard in a little bit of the curl cream, it’s a good balance.
The gel is absolutely fantastic and holds my curls, especially in the winter months. Now that summertime is coming, I’m going to experiment on either using more gel or having to switch to a stronger hold gel.
Good job Bounce Curl

Wavy hair

My hair is wavy and really likes this product. Fragrance is strong, reminds me of tanning lotion. If you are sensitive to fragrance, I don’t recommend. It does fade after a day though.

Lightweight but Moisturizing!

Was pleasantly surprised by this cream - Though it feels lightweight, you can also feel how moisturizing it is and my fine 3A-C curls drank this up. The instant curl definition upon application was also amazing due to the amazing slip. Tried it for the first time, and though the lightweight feeling can be deceiving, I think a little goes a long way. The smell is not my favorite, but it’s not bad, and I like the new packaging (easy to pump out & control the amount of product you use). Will continue to use and it just might be another favorite of mine from Bouncecurl. Nice job on this!

Smells heavenly! Instantly smoothed my curls. I did a big chop and started using this brand and my hair grew like crazy. 10/10 recommend bounce curl to my friends.

I loved the product it defined my curls beautifully. Texture and scent was spot on and had my hair feeling very refreshed as well. It is definitely my new go to for styling my curly hair. I will be repurchasing.

Absolutely love weightless line!

Absolutely love these new styling products! I’ve tried sooo many brands and this is my favorite now! I have great results using a small amount of leave in and cream and then brush styling with your definition brush and lastly, glazing on jelly. I have the longest lasting great results! I keep my hair up in scrunchie to protect since I’m mostly at home. I’m finding I don’t need to refresh when I take down to go out. Day 2-5 are my best days with more hold and curl than night I wash and style!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Definition & Moisture — My New Holy Grail!

I loveee this product! I noticed a huge difference in definition, softness, and overall health in my hair. The formula is rich and moisturizing without any heaviness or crunch — something I struggled to find with other products.

I’ve been using the Hydra-Lite Styling Cream for a few weeks and I really like it. It gives my curls definition without making them feel heavy or crunchy. My hair feels soft, hydrated, and much less frizzy throughout the day. A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t leave any greasy residue. Definitely a great everyday styling cream.

Love this cream! I am new to styling cream and this product was a great place to start. I’ve always wanted to try a “curly hair routine” as my hair has a mix of waves and loose curls and this really helped define my curls and bring them out!

This styling cream is perfect for adding some moisture to my hair while providing a bit of hold before going back in with the ceramide jelly. The texture is lightweight and has a bit of slip which helps further detangle my curls as I brush it through my hair. It smells so good, like a tropical getaway, it's not subtle but also not overpowering or headache-inducing. I do wish it came unscented as well, for days when I am more sensitive to scents or when I'm wearing a fragrance that would clash with the tropical vibe, because it does last long and gets new life whenever I wet my hair for a refresh. Other than that, it's a new favorite product and helps simplify my wash days!

This is one of the best curl creams I have ever used! My hair looks really defined and it reduces all frizz I have! This is actually one of my favorite styling products that I have ever used. I received this in exchange for this post.

I have a complicated relationship with styling creams since they are typically too heavy for my low porosity, medium density type hair. Luckily this is the perfect texture. It’s weightless but still has a nice hold. My curly hair looks more define and less frizz.

I became interested in this styling cream is the fact that it can be used on different hair textures as well has curl patterns. When I used this styling cream it helped to control my frizz and my curls did not feel weighted down which I loved.

The Bounce Curl Hydra-Lite Styling Cream is a 10/10 for my medium 3B curls and I’m obsessed! It’s so lightweight but gives the perfect boost of hydration while getting rid of frizz. My curls look soft, defined, and super bouncy without any heaviness. And the tropical-floral scent is an absolute curly girl dream!
