Overview

Bathroom routines for curly, wavy and coily hair get a light leave in applied to damp hair after washing. Castor and avocado oils hydrate while it defines curls and fights frizz without a crunchy feel.

Daily hydration and frizz control in a silicone free formula suit natural curls and waves. The listing gives two different bottle sizes, which makes value per ounce unclear.

Who it's for

People with natural curls or waves who want definition without residue get a light daily leave in. Straight haired users who only need a regular conditioner should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Silicone and paraben free
  • Defines curls without crunch
  • Light enough for daily use
  • Layers with other stylers
Cons
  • Bottle size conflicts in listing
  • Hold level not stated
  • Oils may weigh down very fine waves

Performance notes

Hydration from oils and glycerin smooths the cuticle, which reduces frizz and helps curls clump. Applying to damp hair spreads it evenly from roots to ends. Very humid air can still lift frizz through any leave in.
