Product size: 8oz

Disclaimer as of Jul 1 2024: You'll receive a new and improved packaging for the curl cream. Same oz but in a smaller, more compact bottle, featuring a sealed cap for protection and brighter colors, with no changes to the formula.

Who is it for?

Made for every curl pattern, from loose waves to tight coils — and gentle enough for color-treated, relaxed, kids', and tweens' hair. Doubles as a leave-in.

Key Benefits

Defines and softens curls, locks in moisture, controls frizz, and protects against heat up to 350°F — with no buildup, even after multiple wash-days.

How to use?

Section soaking-wet hair and rake 1–2 quarter-sized amounts from ends to roots. Scrunch or finger-coil to shape your pattern, then air-dry or diffuse. Follow with Curl Defining Styling Gel for extra hold.
