Customer Reviews

  • "The curl stretching spray was easy to use - just follow the directions and adjust the flat iron temperature for your hair. The spray had a pleasant smell as well. When I applied the product the first time, I only applied once during the 30 day time frame; I was able to maintain a straight hair style for about 21 days. Then, I tried using it every time I wash my hair; this seemed to work the best for my hair as it greatly reduced frizzing in the humidity and kept my hair straighter longer. I should have bought the creme on the website when I received the product - kicking myself for it now. I am thoroughly impressed with this product and hope it gets back in stock soon. Thank you for making a relaxer free alternative that actually works!

  • "I’m pleased with my results. Compared to relaxers this is much easier to apply and less toxic. I like that it doesn’t dry my hair out or make my hair feel stiff. It maintained the moisture and stretched the curls a bit. I can see the benefits after one use and look forward to the progress in months to come.

  • "I used the curl stretching spray and have had an easier time managing my hair. I could only get my flat iron to heat up to 410° because it is old, yet I liked the overall result once I shampooed after flat ironing. Also, one bottle was plenty for my first application; I probably have a third of the bottle left. One downside, however, was that my hair had a strong unpleasant burned/sulphur scent that took a couple of weeks to fade. When wet, my hair had a bad smell. Once dry, the odor was barely noticeable. Another downside was how long it took the complete the entire process. I have extra thick 4a coils, and it is not ideal to have to spend so much time applying monthly. Overall, though, the curl stretching cream is a very solid product that I will continue to use.

The Samuel’s Science Curl Stretching Cream is designed to reduce curl for 4A-4C hair by 50%-90% by using a naturally occurring amino acid. Sulfur (think of a hot spring) is the key ingredient that allows for reshaping of the hair by re-forming the core bond in your strands that creates hair shape.

100mL is enough for one treatment. We recommend monthly use for best results.
