Africa's Best Originals Olive & Aloe Flex Hold Foam Wrap 8.5 oz
Flex hold is the setting between nothing at all and a helmet. This foam wrap holds a style without locking it, so wraps, roller sets, twists and braids keep their shape and still move when you do.
Two ingredients carry the formula. Pure olive oil goes in for moisture and elasticity, aloe vera for softness and a bit of cover against the weather, and between them the hair ends up conditioned rather than dried out by the setting process. Frizz and flyaways stay flat, and nothing flakes off onto your shoulders.
Apply the foam evenly to towel-dried hair, then set or style however you intend to. Let it dry completely before taking it down, because that is where most of the definition comes from.
8.5 oz. Suits wavy through curly hair, roughly 2a to 3b.

Application tips
Foam wraps want soaking wet hair, so apply straight out of the shower.
Shake the bottle, dispense a palmful, and distribute through the hair in sections before you wrap, roll or set. Comb it through so the coverage is even, then wrap around the head or set on rollers and dry under a hood or a low diffuser. Do not touch anything until it is dry.
Results
Sets come out with movement in them rather than a helmet finish. Hair holds the shape it dried in, flyaways stay put along the parting, and the surface stays smooth in damp weather.
The hold gives when you brush it out instead of cracking, and panthenol and wheat protein leave the hair feeling conditioned rather than coated in fixative.
