OSMO Essence Hydrating Curl Conditioner for Defined, Frizz-Free Curls 250ml/8.45 oz
Curly hair is dry for a structural reason.
The oil the scalp makes travels easily down a straight strand and struggles on a bent one, so the ends of a curl are usually running on whatever you put there yourself. OSMO's answer in the Essence line is a conditioner heavy on moisture but light in the hand. It gets hydration into the strand without the weight that pulls a curl pattern out, so definition holds and the hair keeps its bounce. Frizz settles because the cuticle sits flatter, and the elasticity that comes with proper moisture is what stops the breakage.
Apply to wet hair after shampooing, work it through the lengths and ends, leave a minute, then rinse. 250ml. Waves through to loose coils, and particularly good if your curls look defined on wash day and lose it by the next morning.

Application tips
Use it in the shower with the water off. Squeeze the hair out, take a couple of pumps, and press it into the lengths in handfuls rather than raking, which keeps the curl clumps together.
Detangle now, with fingers or a wide-tooth comb, while the slip is at its best. Rinse under cool water, or leave a little in if your hair is very dry.
Results
The pattern is visible before you have styled anything, in clumps rather than a sheet, which means whatever follows has less to do.
Moisture without weight is the balance here. Hair feels soft and springy rather than slick, roots keep their lift, and the shape is still there the next morning instead of collapsing overnight.
