What it does
Defines the curl pattern, controls frizz, and adds shape — without weighing curls down or leaving heavy residue.
Hair type
Best for type 2C through 4C textures. The brand formulates broadly across the curl spectrum — adjust application amount based on density and porosity. Wavy and looser-curl users should start with smaller amounts to avoid weigh-down.

Frequently asked
Apply to wet or damp hair?
Soaking-wet hair gives the most defined curl clumps — apply directly after the leave-in, before the cuticle starts to close. Damp hair works for a softer, less-defined set.
How much should I use?
Start with a 50p-coin amount for medium-density type 3 hair. Coarser textures and tighter coils need more (golf-ball size). Use less if your hair tends to look greasy or limp.
Can I layer this with a gel?
Yes — apply the cream first to define the curl, then a gel over the top to lock it in. Scrunch out the cast once dry. This is the standard cream-gel layering pattern for type 3 and 4 curls.
Will it leave a crunchy cast?
If used solo, no — most stylers define without crunch. Combined with a gel, the gel creates a cast you scrunch out once dry to reveal soft, defined curls.
