The Curl Enhancing Smoothie is the product most people meet this brand through, and it is still the most useful thing in the range for anyone with thick hair that wants definition and moisture from one jar.

It is a styling cream rather than a gel, so the hold is light and the finish is soft. Vegetable butters and oils do the moisturising, silk protein adds a little structure, and neem oil sits in there too. On thick curls the effect is clumps that hold their shape and frizz that stays down, even when the air is damp.

It is thick, and that is worth knowing before you buy. On fine hair it can sit heavy unless you use a small amount and apply it to hair that is genuinely soaking. On dense curls it does exactly what the name says.

Work it through soaking wet hair in sections, then scrunch or twist. It layers under a gel if you want a firmer set. Best on type 2a through 3c hair that is dense, dry or both. 12 oz / 340 gm.

Application tips

Take more than looks sensible and spread it between your palms until it turns clear. Apply to hair still dripping from the shower, one section at a time, praying it down each length.

Scrunch or twist, then stop. No combing after this stage. Dry by diffuser or air without touching it, and only break the shape up once the hair is completely dry.

Results

Clumps form and hold, so curls dry as curls rather than as a cloud. Definition carries into the second day and frizz stays down in damp air.

The finish stays soft enough to push your fingers through. Dense hair gets moisture and shape from one jar, which saves a step. Fine hair should go sparingly, since the cream is rich and will sit heavy at the roots.
