Whereas the curls on the again – which frequently want a bit extra TLC after I’m diffusing – appeared a bit limp and wavy, the ringlets on the entrance had physique, life and had some definition.

That being stated, it actually had fluffiness that defied gravity and the cream did not go away behind any crunchy or greasy residue, which some merchandise do.
“It additionally did not have a very robust scent, which made for a pleasant change – some have a extra chemically odor. Now, new curly hair merchandise want a while for trial and error and subsequent time I am going to positively be including in some gel or attempt to get my arms on the model’s Hydro Type Flexi Jelly (as suggest as a very good pairing with the Air Dry Cream) to see if that gives up a bit extra maintain.
“However as light-weight, leave-in conditioners go, this one is actually on the prime of my product checklist and rivals my common contenders of Hask’s 5-in-1 go away in situation, £6.99 on Amazon, and Solely Curls’ £18 moisturising cream. At £23, it’s fairly costly however contemplating the silky clean outcomes of my hair, I do suppose it is value it.”
