Our Curl Defining Custard is a one-and-done styler that enhances your natural texture, defines your curls, and locks in moisture without weighing your hair down.
For waves, curls & coils.
How to use:
✓ Apply to soaking wet hair
✓ Comb through, then scrunch, scrunch, scrunch!
✓ As it dries, your hair will go slightly crunchy — that's exactly what you want.

Love this styler so much! I use it straight from the shower and sleep on a silk pillowcase. The next morning the cast is gone and it's so soft. I still use a mousse as I like volume but this could easily be the only styler. Lasts me a good 4/5 days before it starts getting frizzy. Will be using this and the curly one set exclusively from now on.
Without a doubt the best curl styling product I have used. Everything about this product is divine, the smell, texture and of course the incredible definition it gives your curls.
Fabulous product!!!
I received my curls custard today and couldn't wait to use it. Results are brilliant,lovely defined waves/loose curls and a lot less frizz.
The curls custard feels lovely in my hair,a nice light weight product - not heavy or sticky like a lot of other curl products I've tried.
Very happy with the results x
Having tried pretty much every curly product under the sun, this is the very best yet! Surprisingly good hold and actually moisturises my curls rather than just sitting on the top. I can run my fingers through my hair and my curls feel soft but with definition. Absolutely love this!
I love this product, it is perfect for my hair, it doesn’t feel producty and makes it less fluffy with a lovely shine. Best of all it holds my softly wavey hair and I still have movement and swing. I started my journey from very straightened hair to a more natural look using Merwave, and still sometimes use their mouse on my roots in combination with the Curl Custard.
My hair loves this stuff!
I have been using this stuff for nearly a year now, so I’ve experimented in all seasons and it’s truly the greatest product I’ve ever used! I love that it’s natural and ethical too, it’s the reason I started to using it, little did I know that it would transform my hair into it’s healthiest, fullest curls yet! I’m so grateful, using this is so simple and gives me such confidence. I literally plop a large blob into the end ms of my washed hair, then use a wide tooth comb to spread it through and that is it! It forms a cast which when dry softens and reveals bouncy, frizz free curls, so simple!
Please don’t ever stop making this!
Wow! I wished I came across your products before I spent so much money on other products on the market. I found that I’ve always needed lots of foam and a very strong hold gel for my waves to hold, but yesterday I took the plunge and used your clarifying shampoo bar, then the conditioner bar and about 10 pumps of the defining custard. My hair is so soft and wavy, and shiny after I scrunched out the crunch!
A keeper
One of the rare products that actually works. This curl custard is a part of my essential care routine now. I have really long curly hair (type 3C) and it really helps to define my curls. This product lasts me between 4-5 months which is another bonus.
I recommend !
Love this product, gives me defined waves without weighing my curls down and you can get really voluminous results with it too. It took me a few uses to figure out what the right amount and technique gives me the best results but I am really happy with this product. I love that it's all natural, plastic free and I love supporting a small business!
I’m amazed at how one product can give my hair so much definition! I probably use way too much as my hair is long, but my hair is still so soft after scrunching out the crunch. Not to mention it smells gorgeous too which is a bonus! Usually refreshes don’t work on my hair, it goes up in a bun till wash day. But my hair is still very soft and defined when I use the curl defining custard to refresh my hair. Already ordered my 2nd bottle. ❤️
I have tried soooo many ‘clean’ curly hair products and been disappointed over and over again but this is a game changer. I am amazed at the results and can’t wait to try the shampoo and conditioner!
I'm on my second bottle of this lovely curl custard. It smells lovely and has saved me money, as I now only need 1 product instead of several stages.
I use it as directed on wet hair after washing, but also as a curl reviver.
The photo is of my waves after 3 days post wash. I revive them by wetting my hands and applying a pump of custard with my wet hands through the hair. I also use it if necessary as a finisher for any flyaways after drying.
I'm going to stick with this custard as I love it so much.
Love, love, love!
Just bought my second bottle! I am very precious about what I use on my children this is really good!
It keeps my child’s hair looking great even after a day at school!
I wasn't to sure if I'd wasted my money on this product? Rest assured I LOVE IT! My hair the next day was smooth with no knots at all & I could of probably got away without even brushing it 😂 So far it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me
Photos of applied product & the next day
Gorgeous packaging and easy to hold and dispense. Smells like high end spa products gorgeous. Used through mid lengths and ends as my hair can be dry and knotty. It certainly detangled and left nice soft waves. Love it !
Trying to embrace my naturally wavy hair rather than keep damaging it with straighteners and this product is helping with that. It smells lovely and works great!
I purchased this thinking there was no way one product could replace the four I’ve been using for years, but a friend assured me I needed to try it. And I was very pleasantly surprised when I was proved wrong; this custard is amazing and leaves my hair so, so soft. I’d been struggling with my curls in the heat, but no more, this is the answer to so many curl problems, as testified by myself and a couple of other curly friends. Try it, you will not be disappointed!
Wow, I'm super impressed with the Curl Custard. I've been using a well known curl brand for 3 years now but fancied trying something different and it appealed to just use one product instead of layering on three different products like I usually do. I After using the Curl Custard my curls are soft, shiny, very well defined and smell lovely. It also works really well on refresh days too and I managed to go 4 days between washes with a refresh each morning with one or two pumps of curl custard scrunched though damp hair. So glad I gave it a try.
Absolutely awesome. Before I used to shampoo, condition, towel dry, leave in condition, curl cream, diffuse dry, add oil and hairspray. What a faff,but it kept away 90%of frizz. Now I wash and condition, add curl custard, leave or diffuse dry. Scrunch the casts to beak and Ta dah job done and far superior bouncy glossy curls. Just brilliant
Lovely product, smells divine, and no allergic reactions. I'm new to having curlier hair as this has developed after the menopause so I'm still learning - but still pleased with what my low skill level has achieved so far! I'll definitely be buying more of this product!
Perfect hydrated spirals everytime!
I love only having to use one product instead of a curly cream and then a curly gel.
It also smells lovely!
Will continue to purchase it for as long as you sell it!
I love the smell. The hols is not quite strong enough for me between washes. I end up with more frizz than worn other products, but I use a little of the product with some water between washes and it very much does the job. Has seriously helped my itchy scalp.
Still great as ever! Never stop making this stuff! Photo is with blow drying, following your curly wash routine advice on the website, love the results! x
Used twice and my waves are just getting better and better. The shampoo lathers up so much and smells amazing, as for the conditioner my hair feels so soft after doing the squish to condish routine, then it’s onto the magic, the curl defining custard, I honestly can not see myself ever using anything else.
After having layer out into my straight bob before going on holiday, and being absolutely unable to do the “new style” I just left my hair to dry and realised that I had slightly wavy hair. Holiday googled research found Bean and bee. I read all the reviews with interest and decided that as soon as I returned home I would give it a go, and ordered the curl custard, clarifying shampoo bar and the conditioner…
WOW, WOW, waves and even the odd curl after just one very unsure go. I believe with patience and practice things can only get better, so I’m definitely looking forward to my journey of releasing the wavy hair with these products 😄
Lovely product, the first leave in product I've found that doesn't make my hair feel greasy. Enhances my waves beautifully and gives lovely definition. The photo I have attached shows the before and after of my first use of the wavy hair kit, I have continued to see fantastic results and improvements in my hair health. Highly recommend!
Love this! Very simple to use, smells devine.
It’s gives lovely definition to my waves and lasts for days. Just a quick stay of water the next day and the waves are defined again.
Lovely product and highly recommended
