My results:
I first washed my 3B – 3C hair with the Cupuaçu Anti-Frizz Smoothing Shampoo and loved the texture of the shampoo. It was thick and felt luxurious as I lathered up my hair. My hair rinsed clean with no sign of tangles or frizz. I could finger through it without it tangling. After squeezing out the excess water, I applied the Cupuaçu Anti-Frizz Smoothing Conditioner, which also is thick and creamy. I really hate rinsing this conditioner out when I used it because it just melts into my hair and feels great.
My hair is naturally soft and fine but with a very strong curl pattern. I found that my curls were defined and that I had no random hairs sticking out after rinsing out the conditioner. Even after air-drying, my hair was frizz-free.
The shampoo does contain some silicone, which doesn’t bother me, although if you are a naturalista who avoids that ingredient, know that the Cupuaçu Anti-Frizz Smoothing Shampoo contains Dimethicone, although it is about half-way down on the ingredient (lots of them0 list. The conditioner does not contain a silicone, but does contain Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, a water soluable ingredient that helps soften hair.
After 2 days of basic abuse to my hair — not tying it up for sleep, not sleeping on a satin or silk pillow case, and brushing it, I still had no frizz. On the third day, it was still looking great, but I applied a cream for hydration, so I can’t give a fair assessment of the 72 hours without frizz.

I just tried a samole of CD shampoo and conditioner, the Monoi Repairing ones. Love the texture of my hair afterward!
