How to Use Curl Cream on Wavy Hair
Using curl cream to enhance the natural wave pattern
Curl cream has been a longtime love for curly girls and guys because of its unique ability to shape and hold textured hair. “Curl cream provides moisture, which in turn allows the cuticle to get what it needs. It also secures your waves together for a more cohesive look,” says Mouneu. A good curl cream for wavy hair will coat your strands with a thin film that smooths cuticles and prevents hair from tangling. The new, even surface, will allow locks to move past each other while maintaining their definition.
And if your curl cream has ingredients like lilac extract, it will add extra spring and definition to curls while amping up the volume on the parts of your hair that bend. Look for products that contain hyaluronic acid for moisture, hydrolyzed proteins and oils to boost strength, and natural heat protectants like arginine and pea extract to to prevent damage from heat tools.
Taming unwanted frizz and flyaways with curl cream for wavy hair
A curl cream for wavy hair will contain the right oils (such as smoothing pequi oil) and nourishing elements to keep unwanted frizz at bay. Frizzy hair occurs when hydrogen bonds are reconfigured in the hair, causing hair to fold itself back and fray. In other words, when the chemical bonds in your hair are negatively impacted, they can become dry or damaged.
“You can use curl cream to slick flyaways for sleeker styles.” explains Mouneu. “Add a little water to your fingertips and use a pea-size amount of cream. Massage the water into the cream and voila!” To prevent unwanted frizz from happening altogether, start by washing and conditioning hair with products formulated for your unique hair type. Apply curl cream to wet hair, moving up and down strands for maximum impact. Make sure you use the right amount of curl cream: use too little and it won’t spread evenly; use too much and it will become oily. When your hair dries, you’ll have smooth locks that stand up to humidity and dryness.
Using curl cream to moisturize and hydrate waves
Wavy hair can dry quickly since the bends in locks can cause the hair’s outer layer to rise, forcing moisture out. Mouneu suggests massaging curl cream into soaking wet hair. “I usually recommend curl cream for a base of moisture underneath gels or mousses,” she says. “Always air-dry or use a hovering motion with your diffuser to get excess moisture out. Then go in by scrunching your curls with your diffuser attachment.”
However, curl cream, which works wonders on wash day, can also be applied to dry hair for extra moisture and style. Just apply the curl cream to hair for a quick refresh, moving your fingers around to distribute the product evenly and scrunching to bring back hair’s shape. A high performing curl cream will contain oils and other hydrating ingredients to lock in moisture for days. Prose’s core range of products contain caprylic/capric triglyceride or olive oil, which promotes softness, glyceryl oleate for hydration, or other hair ingredients that will help you create and maintain touchably soft, hydrated tresses.

My hair is smoother but my waves and curls are less defined. By day three my hair is pretty flat. Your tip says cream should be 2:1 should we mix the cream with water? That’s different than your video
I am finding that when using curl cream on soaking wet hair, along with scrunch jelly my hair is feeling greasy when the hair is dry. I have followed curly girl method for washing and curl prep but still finding my hair is great feeling when dry. I’m barely using any curl cream…am I doing something wrong?
Hi Becky! If you are using your custom styling gel, we would suggest trying the two seprately. It could be that your stylig gel formula already provides enough moisture.
Where are the actual instructions here?…

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share. Thanks!
I have observed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate financial transaction, a payment is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers will not “save” the commission rate. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by simply doing a good agent’s work. In accomplishing this, they devote their money and also time to execute, as best they might, the responsibilities of an broker. Those tasks include revealing the home by way of marketing, introducing the home to prospective buyers, building a sense of buyer emergency in order to make prompt an offer, organizing home inspections, dealing with qualification check ups with the loan company, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing.
