Dippity Do Girls with Curls Curl Defining Cream: Define & Control Frizz for Bouncy Curls 125ml/4.23 oz
A 125ml tube is a sensible way to try a curl cream you have not used before, and this one covers a wide range of textures, from soft waves through to tight coils.
The formula is lightweight and non-sticky. It defines the curl, holds moisture in and keeps frizz down without leaving hair stiff, so curls stay bouncy and soft to the touch through a damp British day. It works as a standalone styler on looser textures and as a base layer under a gel on denser ones.
It is a cream rather than a gel, so there is no cast to scrunch out and no crunch to break. On days when you want the definition to look soft instead of sculpted, that is the appeal. Apply to damp hair, distribute through the lengths, then scrunch or rake depending on how much definition you want. Reapply lightly on dry hair later in the week to bring the shape back. Suits 2c through 4c.

Application tips
Cream goes on soaking wet, not damp. Take a section, run it through with flat palms, then either rake with your fingers or scrunch upwards, depending on whether you want the curls stretched or springy. A ten pence blob covers a section of average thickness.
Once the whole head is done, leave it be while it air dries, or diffuse on low heat. Redistributing it halfway through is what breaks the clumps.
Results
Curls hold their shape and clump properly, and frizz stays down through a damp British afternoon. It is light enough that fine waves keep their volume rather than being dragged flat.
As it dries the finish stays soft, so there is nothing to break out afterwards, and hair feels conditioned rather than coated. Second day curls are usually still worth keeping.
