Honestly I’ve been trying to find a new curly hair brand as a Dominican and this one really worked in my curls! I need every Dominican and non Dominican to be on these products cause my hair loved it so much! The whole trio did wonder on my curls just look at my results!

I saw this company presented on The TODAY Show on TV and was impressed with their company mission and values, so I thought I would give it a try. I have tried so many different hyped up products promising miracle results and have been sorely disappointed, but OCOA has proven even better than expected. OCOA is lightweight, doesn’t have a chemical smell, and makes my curls defined and not frizzy even when I sleep on it and don’t wash my hair a second day. The packaging was cute with wonderful and personal note. OCOA is now my go-to place for hair products. THANK YOU, OCOA!!
Hola Serenity!

We are thrilled to hear that our Hydrating Curl Cream has exceeded your expectations and has become your perfect hair product. Our team takes great pride in creating effective and nontoxic products, and we are glad to know that you have noticed the difference.
We are also happy to hear that our packaging and personalized note added to your overall experience. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to providing you with more amazing products in the future.
Thank you once again for choosing OCOA. Have a wonderful day!
Best,

My daughter's hair is more hydrated and her curls look better than ever!
L
After discovering this brand, I knew immediately I wanted to try these products. I love the definition the curl cream gives my hair. It's lightweight and even after refreshing my hair a few days later, I don't feel the build up of product ! Packaging is beautiful and shipping is really fast too! I recommend these products to every one!!
L
When I tell you these products are amazing I can not stress that enough my hair was really damaged and my curls were not as defined now my hair is healthy growing more and my curls are getting better each dayy !
W
I love the way this leave-in conditioner defines my curls and leaves my hair feeling nice and soft and bouncy with out getting frizzy … Thank you so much ladies for making this product:)
Thank you so much for your review Walesca! You have been a our number one supporter since day one
C
I have never had a product to make my hair look so healthy and curly! These are amazing products!!!
D
Never have I received so many compliments about my curls as I have since starting these products!! I have the best results when I use the leave in cream combined with the gel. I apply them wet, let my hair air dry almost completely and then I blow it dry without a diffuser and any frizz that remains I touch up with the gel. It takes very little effort now for me to achieve bouncy, defined curls!
I
Love this for my curls. Makes my hair shiny, my curls defined and bouncy. It smells amazing and does not irritate my scalp. I pair with the gel and results last a week
S
I love this leave in! It smells great and gives my curls definition. I have fine hair so I just make sure to use a smaller amount than the directions call for (and emulsify with a little water) so it doesn’t weigh my hair down. I use the amount that’s specified for each section for my whole head and it works great- I’ll definitely get a lot of use out of the bottle and it’s a great price too. You’ll want to use some gel if you want hold but it’s great for soft curls without gel too.
C
Ordered a sample first and absolutely loved how soft and not crunchy it left my curls. Immediately went and bought a full sized bottle and I’m still obsessed
Hola Hermana!!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're so happy to hear that you loved the sample and that it left your curls soft and not crunchy. It’s wonderful that you went ahead and got a full-sized bottle and are still obsessed with it. Your support means the world to us!
Warm regards,

I am a A3 type curl hair girl. So this cream works best for my hair and I rather use this than the hair gel. This cream makes my hair poof and create a beautiful natural volume. While other products always made the top of my hair look flat. I hope this product never changes!!
Hola Anisa, we love hearing that our Hydrating Curl Cream brings out your natural volume while keeping your curls soft and defined. Every curl deserves to shine in its own way. We hope it continues to be your go-to for beautiful, healthy-looking curls.
E
totally worth it. with consistent use, it really does make your hair soo much healthier
We love hearing that consistency is making such a difference in your curls. Thank you for sharing your experience with our Hydrating Curl Cream. We're so happy it's become part of your hair care routine. What's your favorite thing about the results so far?

I emailed to cancel my upcoming subscription order and they refused to cancel the order even though it did not ship. I cannot use the product anymore so I’m stuck with product I don’t need and cannot use. Be aware so it does not happen to you.
Tonii, we're sorry to hear about your disappointment. We'd like to clarify that your cancellation request was received after your order had already entered fulfillment, which meant we could no longer stop that shipment. We always do our best to accommodate cancellation requests before orders begin processing. Our team remains available to assist with any additional concerns or subscription needs.
