What it is: A protein-enriched styler that combines the moisture of a cream with the flexible-hold technology of a gel. Who it's for: Ideal for all hair types, especially for weak, damaged hair.What it does: The Protein Cream is the perfect one-and-done styler. This unique formula is a cream that contains the styling technology of a gel, providing flexible hold and definition without any crunch, making any curl type bouncy and elastic. It works great on its own if you're more low-maintenance, but if you're looking for a more personalized routine, the Protein Cream can also be cocktailed with other products: if your hair is extra dry, use your favorite Curlsmith leave-in (sold separately) before; if you want extra hold, finish the look with your favorite Curlsmith gel (sold separately). How to use: Take a small amount of cream. Start with a dime-size and add more if needed-a little goes a long way. Rake the cream through soaking wet hair, making sure you are evenly distributing it and coating every strand. Use the 'prayer hands' method to smooth the strands. This helps sealing cuticles and reducing frizz. Flip your hair and gently scrunch to encourage curl formation. Follow up with your favorite styler for extra hold and definition. 8 oz.
