Overview
A curly or wavy haired person gets a cream gel here that scrunches curls into shape with light hold. Black seed oil adds shine, and it works on damp hair for air drying or diffusing, or on dry hair to refresh curls.
Soft, frizz controlled curls without a stiff cast are the reason to choose it. The light hold may not last through humid days on very fine or heavy hair.
Who it's for
Daily wash and go routines with soft curls suit this cream gel. People needing maximum hold through humidity should use a stronger gel.
Pros and cons
- Soft definition without crunch
- Adds shine with black seed oil
- Works on damp or dry hair
- Free of sulfates and parabens
- Light hold only
- Jar size not in the specs
- May not last in high humidity
Performance notes
The cream base coats the curl so it clumps and holds shape as it dries, while the light hold polymers stop frizz without stiffness. Diffusing speeds drying and lifts volume. Applied to dry hair it reforms curls between washes.
