Product Information

Thanks to shea butter esters in the formula—i.e., a super lightweight emollient derived from shea butter—it's surprisingly lightweight, so it won't weigh down your fine hair. Also, it's got some keratin amino acids which can help to strengthen damaged hair without causing protein overload or buildup. Key ingredients: Rosemary leaf extract, green tea extract, meadowfoam seed oil, PEG-40 castor oil (moisturizes without building up) Never worry about using hot tools again!

If you live and die by the Curly Girl Method (or you're just starting to dabble in it), this curl cream is loaded with CGM-friendly moisturizers and is a great option for tight, dry curls. Enter the winning formula: moisturizing alcohols and a slew of oils that your curls will drink up. This gel-cream hybrid has a buttery consistency and formula that will give your hair the moisture it needs (a la a curl cream), and also a light hold (a la a curl gel) so you'll have happy, defined curls, all day long. Keep colored hair looking vibrant with this curl cream made for wavy, curly, and coily curl patterns. It’s formulated with sunflower seed extract, a natural UV protectant that shields hair from color fade, brassiness, and dryness. What’s more, olive oil helps manage flyaways for a sleek head of curls—even in humid conditions.

MOICC01 Disclaimer:

Apply one pump (or more, depending on hair length and texture) of Moroccanoil® Intense Curl Cream throughout damp or dry strands. Style as usual, or let hair dry naturally. Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner is ideal for hair damaged by over processing, colour damage and heat styling. So if you've been choosing your curl creams based solely on your curl type (think: 3a curls, 4b hair, etc.), and you're still finding your hair weighed down, dried out, or shrunken up, it might be because of your hair porosity (i.e., how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture). If you have high porosity hair, your hair probably absorbs moisture well but doesn't hold onto it easily and could benefit from a heavier curl cream with ingredients like shea butter and heavy oils, like the Adwoa Baomint Curl Defining Cream. This curl cream uses dimethicone (the most popular silicone) along with a touch of coconut, olive, and marula oils to smooth and clump your curls, making it great for anyone who isn’t a fan of their flyaways. Just note that silicones can build up, so you’ll want to clarify once a month with a sulfate-based clarifying shampoo, or if you have super-fine hair, once every other week. Low porosity hair has cuticles that are super close together, making it hard for moisture and ingredients to penetrate the hair—resulting in product buildup and dryness. In general, low-porosity hair does best with lightweight formulas that contain little-to-no oils or butters, like the Rahua Control Cream Curl Styler. Two people with the same curl pattern can have totally different porosities, which means they need different curl creams.

Get long-lasting textured beach hair any time of the year with this upgrade on the classic sea salt spray. Depending on the porosity of your hair, you may need either a heavier or lighter curl cream. Determine how well your hair can retain and absorb moisture, and choose a formula accordingly.

"Not only is it free of fragrance, silicones, and waxes, but it's also weirdly customizable depending on your curl type," says Cosmopolitan deputy beauty director Chloe Metzger. "Although it's filled with coconut oil, which would usually leave my fine hair greasy, a dime-size dollop squished through my sopping-wet hair leaves my 3a curls defined, smooth, and bouncy." Anyone with curly hair knows that the right styling products can mean the difference between dry curls and soft, bouncy ringlets. The best curl cream will help you achieve the curls of your dreams.

Comb a palmful through your damp hair before twist-outs, braids, or wash-and-gos for longer-lasting definition and moisture retention. Curl creams create a protective film around the hair shaft, which helps to smooth the cuticle and make curls more manageable. Most formulas include nourishing ingredients that can help boost moisture or impart a shiny finish. If even just looking at a product full of heavy ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil makes your hair feel greasy, opt for this super-lightweight curl cream . It's made with lightweight moisturizers, like jojoba oil, and hydrators like aloe vera, and has a light hold to give you a touch of curl definition without weighing them down.
