TRUSS Leave-in Cream for Curly Light Hair — Define, Moisturize, Matte Finish
Most curl creams finish with a shine. This one finishes matte, which is a genuine preference rather than a compromise: curls read as thicker and more natural when they are not reflecting light off every bend.
TRUSS built this leave-in for curly and highly textured hair that has been through colour or chemical services and lost some of its bounce. It puts moisture back, tightens the pattern up from root to end, and forms a protective layer over the strand that keeps humidity from swelling it back into frizz. On very full hair it also takes some of the volume down, so the shape sits closer to the head instead of expanding all day.
Apply to damp hair, spread it evenly through the lengths, then style as usual. It works with a diffuser and it works air dried.
Suits curly, wavy and highly textured hair, and it is especially useful in the months after a chemical service when the pattern is still settling.

Application tips
Damp hair, palms flat, and take it through the lengths in one smooth pass before you start scrunching. Going back over the same section repeatedly is what breaks the clumps up.
Once it is distributed, cup sections upward toward the scalp and hold each one for a second. Then leave it be. Diffuse on low heat and high speed, or let it dry on its own if you have the time.
Results
The finish is matte, so curls look like hair rather than like something has been put on them.
Pattern tightens from the root down and holds through a humid day without swelling back out. Very full hair sits closer to the head, which is either the point of buying it or a reason to use half as much. Colour-treated curls that had lost their spring get some of it back.
