Curlsmith Feather-light Protein Cream is a protein-enriched styler that combines the moisture of a cream with the flexible hold technology of a gel.

Details

Benefits

  • One-and-done styler: combines the perfect levels of moisture and hold for a simple, effortless routine.
  • Clumps curls, tames frizz and makes hair soft and bouncy.
  • Enriched with proteins to fortify the hair and make it more elastic.
  • Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to strengthen and protect the hair against damage. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use.
  • Light hold (4/10), doesn't create a hard crunchy cast around the hair.
  • Medium cream texture.
  • Can be layered with a leave-in for added moisture or a gel for added hold, to achieve the ultimate personalization.
  • Vegan, cruelty free, clean ingredients and curly girl friendly.
  • Designed for all curls and texture types.

Key Ingredients

  • Sweet Almond Oil to lock moisture in, smooth cuticles and add shine
  • Shea Butter for ultimate moisture
  • Hemp Seed & Rice Protein complex, completely plant-based alternative to animal keratin that helps the hair look stronger and more elastic
  • Blend of nutrient-rich superfoods (Prickly Pear, Kale, Guava, Shiitake Mushroom, Blackcurrant and Pumpkin Seeds)

Formulated Without

  • Sulfates
  • Silicones
  • Drying alcohols

How To Use

Apply to wet hair after your shower. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands, then use the 'praying hands' method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Finally, flip the head over and scrunch upwards to encourage curl formation. Air dry or diffuse.

If your curls love protein, get this!

I don't use this regularly because it seems to weigh down my hair. It feels extremely light, but it seems to change the texture of my hair.

Feather weight? No

I dont know what they are talking about, feather weight. This product weighed my hair down a lot. It has a gross tacky feel when dry. I actually hate it. I bought their other "heavier" protein cream product, I think it is a conditioner that uou can leave in or rinse out, and that worked much better for me as a leave-in. It dud mot weigh my hair diwn at all. But overall I think this entire line is over priced.
