Design Essentials Almond And Avocado Curling Creme 12oz
Gels can leave textured hair hard, flaky and looking varnished. A curling creme does the same defining job with moisture instead of a cast, and this 12oz tub is a long-running example.
It is lightweight for a cream, and it gives slip, which is the property that makes curls clump instead of separating into frizz. Curls dry faster, feel soft and elastic rather than stiff, and hold a flexible shape that moves with you. There are no heavy mineral oils or petrolatum in it, so volume and movement both survive the styling.
Apply to clean, damp hair in sections and distribute evenly through the lengths. It works for wash-and-gos, twist-outs and most other textured looks. It also pairs well with a gel if you want more hold, cream first and gel over the top, while on looser textures it does the whole job on its own. Suits 2c through 4b, and it is the one to pick if gel has been leaving your hair crunchy.

Application tips
Wet hair, worked in small sections, smoothed down each piece with flat palms before you rake anything. Cream needs contact with the strand, and raking first just moves it around the outside of a clump.
Twist or finger-coil for tighter definition, or leave it for a looser wash-and-go. Air-dry or diffuse. If you want more hold, a gel can go over the top once this is fully worked in.
Results
Curls clump into defined pieces with a soft, pliable hold that never sets hard. There is no flaking, no white residue and no stiff shell to crack open at the end.
Hair dries faster than it does under most creams and comes out touchable. The cuticle sits flat, so frizz and flyaways stay down and the definition survives being slept on with a bonnet.
Composition
- Almond
- Softens the strand and gives the cream its slip
