I have fine hair that wants to curl but is easily weighed down with heavy gels or too much conditioner to detangle the fine strands. The curl definition conditioner does not weigh down the curls nor does the gel! I can use either or both depending on how much hold I need each day.
J
OMG my curls haven’t looked this good since I was a teenager!!! This is by far the best product! Muchísimas gracias por todo🩷
N
Love the leave in and just tried the Gel and absolutely love it. Worked beautifully on my daughter and sons hair
L
Amazing products leaves my hair with great shine and looking healthy and they smell amazing 😍totally recommend
C
My order was shipped the same day I ordered. Love the gel and the crème, keeps my curls so soft, defined and not at all frizzy. I just mix the two products together and apply to my soaking wet hair and get perfect results every time. I will always recommend these products to anyone with curly hair :)
I
This bundle is a miracle worker. First of all its the first that doesn't irritate my scalp. It defines and moisturizes my curls. It doesn't cause flaking. My curls are bouncy and lasts me for a week. Love them and will keep repurchasing.
L
These products are amazing! I am so glad my sister on law told me about them. My daughter’s hair has never looked so amazing.
S
I love this combo. The leave in is very moisturizing but since I live in a place where the humidity is around 81% and higher I also need something that has hold. So I use the leave in, as a leave in, and use the gel on top of the leave in; allow to air dry about 80% and SOTC and diffuse and perfect curls that hold up in this humid weather and even holds up during a workout. For reference I have a mix of 3b & 3c, medium dense, high porosity, color treated curls.
Hola Hermana!!
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed routine and positive experience with our products! We're delighted to hear that our leave-in and gel combo is working so well for your 3b & 3c curls, especially in such high humidity. It's great to know that your curls stay perfect even during workouts. Your support and feedback mean a lot to us!
Warm regards,
OCOA Team

10/10 - Best curl products ive tried yet
We're so happy to hear these are the best curl products you've tried. It means so much to us to be part of your curl journey. We'd love to hear which product is your favorite, and don't forget to share your results with us. 💛

LOVEEEEE the curl cream and gel!! Smells amazing and the curls were juicy for days. It didn’t weigh it down too much and I have 3B/3C thick hair. My only complaint is that for the price point it is a little on the steep side given how much is in each bottle. If it were a bit bigger it would justify the price. Besides that though, big fan.

I’m ALL in for supporting small businesses, especially Latina owned. However, it’s been years since I’ve had dandruff. To give you some insight on my curly hair journey, I have long 3c/3b hair type. Natural oils, curl cream, and leave-ins are my besties. For years I’ve searched for the right products that’ll define, rejuvenate, hydrate, and moisturize my curls and well I came across this brand and instantly fell in love with the history, background, and the story behind the brand - basically I hit that ‘buy now’ button immediately!
I enjoyed the smell but after a few uses of the curl cream + defining gel, I’ve noticed my hair felt extremely brittle, scalp was insanely dry and beyond noticeable. I want to love the products, but the ingredients are just not it.
Hola!
Thank you so much for supporting our small, Latina-owned business and for sharing your curly hair journey with us . We’re so happy our story and mission resonated with you.
We’re truly sorry to hear that your results weren’t what you hoped. Something that often comes up in the curly hair world is that what looks like “dandruff” can sometimes actually be product flaking. This usually happens when too much product is layered or when it isn’t applied with enough water for even distribution. Every curl pattern is beautifully unique, and it can take a little trial and error to find the routine that works best.
A few layering tips that may help with Ocoa products:
Less is more with our conditioner — it’s very rich and hydrating, so even a small amount goes a long way in keeping curls moisturized.
Our Flaxseed Defining Gel is highly concentrated — you only need a little for amazing hold and definition. Applying with plenty of water helps it blend smoothly and avoid flaking.
Light, even layering — rather than stacking on too much product — can keep curls soft while keeping your scalp comfortable.
If you’d like more personalized support, feel free to send us a picture of your curls and details about your routine — our curl experts would love to share tips tailored to your exact hair type.

This made my hair greasy and limp. I was not able to achieve any wave pattern with this product.

I'm a low maintenance curly girl; air dry, leave in conditioner, typically no gel (I don't like the cast/crunch and how much longer it take my hair to dry with gel). Not with these products! This gel gets magically absorbed by my hair and there's no crunch, just shine and bounce. I tried the leave in alone, the gel alone, and the two products together. Together works best for me, soft, shine, bounce, & no extended drying time. Thanks for making curly products that work for us air dryers!
Hi Elizabeth! We are so happy to hear that our Curl Cream and Defining Gel Styling Duo worked wonders for your curly hair. We understand not wanting the crunch and extended drying time that comes with most gels, and we are thrilled that our gel gets magically absorbed by your hair for a soft, shiny, and bouncy look. Thank you for choosing our products and for sharing your experience with us! Have a great day!

Always happy to see Dominican women doing great things so I had to try both the cream and gel! I’ve struggled with finding the right product to keep my curls fresh and this is fantastic. Light but great hold. Smells great and I love being able to support mis hermanas

i bought it without doing a deep dive just to support fellow Dominican curly girls. I have low density hair and i use mousse usually, so i was afraid it would weigh my hair down because it has butters in it. I expected to use it once and then give it away. but i was blown away by how light and bouncy my hair was and how long the definition lasted. also it has no scent which i love because i don't like having a smelly cloud around my head all day. 100% a big fan of these products!
Hola Christine,
Wow, this means so much! Thank you for supporting fellow Dominican curly girls we love our curl community! We’re so happy the product surprised you in the best way, giving you light, bouncy, and long-lasting definition. And we totally get it sometimes, no scent is the best scent! Welcome to the fan club—we’re so glad to have you! warm regards OCOA team.

My hair is so soft, shiny and bouncy. The curls hold. I air dry my hair everyday, rather than blow dry, there is still so much body. Smells great too!
Hola Michelle,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to know that your curls are holding and that you are able to achieve soft, shiny and bouncy hair. Thank you for choosing our products!

I never really liked my curly hair growing up because I would look like a chia pet! This is the first time I can say I love my curls because they look fantastic!!! Typical during the winter I would straighten it because my hair looks better during the cold weather. But now, I prefer to wear it curly! Can’t wait for the summer time now!
Hola Jenilee,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you are loving your curls. It's always great to hear when our products help our sisters embrace their natural hair. We look forward to continuing to provide you with amazing hair care.
Abrazos,
