What is Curling Cream –
There are a variety of curling creams on the shelves today, and they are made for every curl type. Curling creams provide curls with a soft hold and definition. They can often be more nourishing and moisturizing then gels and leave less build-up.
Best of all curling creams don’t have that “crunch” effect like when your hair dries after using a gel. Curls creams are a great product use when you find you need to tame some frizz or if your hair feels drier than usual.
How to Use Them –
Applying curling cream is simple and similar to the way you apply a gel.
· After washing your hair, section your hair into about 4 sections.
· On wet hair, first apply oil and then lock in the oil with an ample amount of the curling cream into each section.
· Work the cream from the root to the end of the hair. Add extra cream on the ends of your hair for some extra protection from the elements and split ends.
· Allow your hair to dry
· Optional: If you want to experiment by adding a gel with it, do so with your next wash, after you’ve seen how the product works alone.
My Top Tips –
· Try using a curling cream as a leave-in conditioner when your curls are thirsty.
· Try mixing a curling cream with a gel for a combination of moisture and curl definition.
· Try using curling cream in the fall and winter when the air is cooler and drier. A heavier curling cream will have both moisturizing and defining properties, so you will not need to use gel.
· Make sure that your curling cream mixes well with your favorite gels. This can be done by testing cream and your choice of gel on a small section of your hair.
· Look for a curling cream that says it defines curls or enhances curls.
