What Inspired MopTop?

After a meticulous year of research and development, MopTop was born, providing a line of natural, healthy and effective products so everyone can enjoy a great hair day.
At MopTop we want you to feel confident, beautiful, and empowered to achieve everything you want in life. We offer the perfect blend of nature and science to eliminate frizz and enhance your natural texture, helping you embrace your natural beauty at an affordable cost.

Lightweight cast and soft curls after!
I have very fine spiral curls and was looking for a replacement when Garnier Fructis discontinued their curl treat jelly/gelee. I have tried many products while also trying not to break the bank. Mop Top is the closest I have come to a viable option. Itâs a tad too heavy but so much better than anything else I have tried! I love its super light scent and that it has hardly any oils. It gives me a nice cast and after my curls are dry and I break the cast, my curls have marvelous definition and are soft to the touch! I live on the Oregon coast and deal with the dryness of salts in the air and also high humidity. Mop Top has held up well in these conditions. I do sometimes use a leave-in conditioner. And I almost always use it in combination with a curl cream. I seam to have found the best combination for my curls in a variety of weather and conditions. If I am in a dryer climate I use less Mop Top and more cream but at the coast I use more Mop Top. I would and have recommended it to other curly girls. I also only shampoo my hair about once a month and with only a dime sized amount of shampoo, I condition my hair almost daily. But if I am simply rehydrating my curls with lavender water and a little more Mop Top and a little more cream, i have been happy with it. But due to the fineness of my hair, I can only go one day without fully rinsing my hair. I hope this helps you other curly girls on your journey!

Yes I HAVE CURLY HAIR!!! And I love it!!!!
Most of my childhood I was made to hate my curly hair that cascaded down my back and made me look like Diana Ross. Each Sunday after church my hair was washed, saturated in Johnson and Johnson’s No Tear Detangler [LIARS! I can still feel the comb pulls as I type this 50 years later!!!] blow dried for an hour while being tugged and combed, then braided in Laura Ingalls pigtails. When it was all over my eyes were swollen nearly shut from crying, my nose a stuffy mess and my throat raw from yelps and mouth breathing. I’d get a dose of 8 baby aspirin or more depending on my age and sent to bed to sleep off my migraine before dinner. Often I would sleep through to wake for school the next morning.This was LONG before Kelly Foreman dreamed she could climb out of her crib and crawl to the Fisher Price Little People in her toy box and decades before Mop Top Hair Custard was whipped into existence. But thankfully she fulfilled her curly hair science project and Mop Top Hair Custard is here to save the curls of the world. It is a pretty pricey item, but it does work on just about all hair types. I say all hair types because I have curly kinks on the top and soft fine straighter hair underneath and this works to manage all my hair.My routine: I wash and condition with Tresemme Moisture Rich formula then comb any tangles out in the shower. I towel dry, comb again then rub in a few globs of Mop Top Hair Custard all over and comb again. No tears, no migraine, no need to nap. I leave it to air dry which takes hours and hours unless I’m outside in the sun (God’s way of saying I NEED to manifest living in a beach house…). So if I need to I can blow dry on high heat with the finger diffuser attachment to speed things up.The results is an adorable Shirley Temple mop top with glossy defined curls no frizz. My hair is light and bouncy and it doesn’t feel greasy or creamy. I can go out in a rainy mist with just my umbrella and no pouf effect. I can scrunchy it into a bun or pony tail that is curly, sporty and fun. If I want to go for something like a Bridgerton updo look all I have to do is gather what I want to and pin it with combs, clips, pins or… wait for it… add a tiara and I am ready to meet The Ton. Heck add some Olay eye cream and Hydration serum then top it off with Drew Barrymore’s Afterglow on the cheeks and there would be whispers of “Diamond” potential :PHumor aside this product really does work like it says it does. The world has changed and kids today are much kinder and forgiving of differences then back in the day (unless they have parents who can only teach the pain they know) but I still hear kids making fun of curly hair or glasses or different shades of skin color. If you have a cute curly mop top in your life, help them embrace what the Good Lord gave them and get this hair product. A little does go a long way.

Great for my short, curly, heat damaged hair!
I loved this custard! It smells like citrus fruit in your hair when wet and becomes lighter when your hair dries. I bought this product when looking for something to help define my curls. For context, I have VERY short curly hair with layers and loose bits from consistent heat damage, and there’s a good amount of frizz. I shampooed and conditioned my hair in the shower and towel dried it. Afterwards, I split my hair into four sections and distributed a quarter-sized amount to each section. I noticed that if i use more than that, the gel will become flaky when dry, so be mindful of that. I personally let it air dry and it worked well, minus a few slightly crunchy bits. When that happened, i give my dry hair a gentle scrunch and it softened things up. My hair looks so much better and is so much easier to manage!

Very good product for wash and gos on coily, kinky (widely termed type 4) hair. Iâve used it as a one and done product as well as with my favourite gels like Uncle Funkyâs Daughter Curly Magic and itâs fantastic.

The product reached me with a broken seal inside.Not sure whether the one I got is the original product or not.Disappointed because of lack of professionalism and unreliable service, for the huge money spent!!!!!
