A curl cream is a styling cream that helps to define your natural curls,” explains Annagjid “Kee” Taylor, celebrity hairstylist and owner of Deeper Than Hair in Philadelphia. “Not only will it give curls definition, but it will provide them with moisture you need to smooth your strands.” This curl cream was made with very dry, type-4 curls in mind, which means it comes through on its promise to moisturize your hair—s/o to sunflower and coconut oil—while smoothing frizz and flyaways that pop up when undoing your twists.

Depending on the porosity of your hair, you may need either a heavier or lighter curl cream. Determine how well your hair can retain and absorb moisture, and choose a formula accordingly.

Another one of Metzger's absolute faves? This curl cream by John Frieda that keeps her hair super smooth and sleek. "Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve had at least two tubes of this smoothing cream at my desk and in my car since 2015 because it’s that freakin’ good for immediately laying down frizz and flyaways without making my thin curls greasy," says Metzger. Just note, it's filled with water-insoluble silicones, so make sure to clarify once a month with a sulfate-based clarifying shampoo to strip away any build-up. Curl creams also enhance and encourage your hair’s natural curl formation, says Irinel de León, celebrity hairstylist and brand ambassador for Ouidad. “In addition, curl creams are often more moisturizing and contain conditioning properties to help curls be the best version of themselves.” If even just looking at a product full of heavy ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil makes your hair feel greasy, opt for this super-lightweight curl cream . It's made with lightweight moisturizers, like jojoba oil, and hydrators like aloe vera, and has a light hold to give you a touch of curl definition without weighing them down.
