Begin by saturating your hair and applying a generous amount of the Curl Define Pre-Wash Detangler Treatment. The creamy formula provides excellent slip, allowing a detangling tool to glide through wet curls with less breakage.
Keeping up with curl care can be challenging, especially when hair is recovering from heat styling and breakage. My curls were in need of rehabilitation, so I sought products to both hydrate and strengthen them. The goal: find a solution for at-home hair repair.
I turned to the Nexxus Curl Define Collection. Having trusted Nexxus for years, I was eager to try products formulated specifically for my natural curly hair. Each item in this new line features a ProteinFusion blend designed to hydrate curls and fortify them from within.
The collection claims to deliver visible results after just one wash—a promise I had to test for myself. Read on for my complete review of the Nexxus Curl Define system for 3c hair.
The Products:
- Curl Define Pre-Wash Detangler Treatment for Coil and Curls
- This pre-shampoo treatment, which can also be used as a mask, nourishes and detangles to reduce breakage. Formulated with our ProteinFusion blend of silk protein and marula oil, plus castor oil and shea butter for extra slip and hydration.

About My Hair:
My hair texture is a mix of 3c and 4a curls, and my preferred styling method is a wash-and-go. I seek products that streamline this routine, as low-manipulation styles and air drying have helped my hair grow. I wash my hair weekly, refreshing between washes with water and a leave-in conditioner. My ideal curly hair products have a thick, creamy, water-based consistency and are made with natural oils.
My Nexxus Routine:
I started my washday by saturating my hair in the shower and taking a large dollop of the Curl Define Pre-Wash Detangler Treatment for Coils and Curls. The detangler was creamy and rich, which provided a great barrier between my Tangle Teezer and my wet curls. I was impressed by the amount of slip it provided and I noticed that there was less hair fall out in my brush after I worked through my hair in sections. Next, I lathered up with the Sulfate-Free Curl Define Shampoo. I worked my hair into a satisfying lather and when I rinsed my hair felt really soft and smooth.
By the way, the scent of the line is pretty consistent from product to product, the scent is kind of warm, tropical, and comforting. So once the shampoo was rinsed out I reached for the Curl Define Hair Conditioner for Curly Hair. The consistency was more of a gel than a cream which is a little different than the conditioners I usually use, but it distributed super easily throughout my curls and I left it on for 30 minutes before rinsing. While I rinsed I noticed my hair was super soft to the touch. I realized that most times when I rinse out my conditioner, my hair can feel brittle or a little rough, so this was a welcome change. The Curl Define Leave-in Conditioner for Curly Hair came last. This leave-in had a water/gel type of consistency which my curls drank right up. I was able to easily coat my strands without using a ton of product because it really hydrated my curls quickly.
Before using the Nexxus Curl Define Collection, my hair felt dry and lacked moisture. My curls were undefined, the pattern was inconsistent, and heat damage near the ends was visible.
After just one use of the Nexxus Curl Define products, my hair appeared healthy and refreshed. My 3c curl definition was consistent from root to tip, despite previous heat damage. My hair also showed fewer fly-aways and looked curlier overall. It felt stronger and softer, without any heavy or oily residue.
The Takeaway
This collection delivered on its promise of defined, moisturized curls in a single wash. It's an ideal system for anyone looking to restore their hair's health from the inside out. The products provide a salon-quality hair repair treatment at home. For those with curly or coily textured hair seeking to improve moisture, strength, and definition, this line is a highly effective solution.
