Description

WHY USE CURLSMITH FEATHER-LIGHT PROTEIN CREAM:
Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use. Curlsmith Feather-Light Protein Cream is a protein-enriched styling cream that combines the moisture properties of a cream with the hold properties of a gel, for the ultimate soft styling results.

HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
Curlsmith Feather-light Protein Cream is the perfect one-and-done styler. It provides both moisture and definition, making any curl type bouncy and elastic. 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 before; if you want extra hold, finish the look with your favorite Curlsmith gel.

WHAT MAKES CURLSMITH DIFFERENT:
Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare ingredients to make premium products that really work. The Feather-Light Protein Cream is blended with a unique complex of Rice Protein & Hemp Oil, a fully plant-based alternative to animal keratin that makes the hair look stronger and more elastic.

NO NASTIES:
All Curlsmith products have zero spoons of sulphates, silicones, mineral oils and phthalates. Plus they’re Vegan and Cruelty Free.

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. For extra strengthening and a volume boost, use in combination with Curlsmith Bouncy Strength Volume Foam.

    Solution to One & Done

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying this product and I could probably eliminate using the gel. It has increased the feel of moisture in my hair. I have been looking for an almost one & done product, this may be the balm I was looking for. Time will tell with summer arriving.

    Stringy

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far after one week of using the products, I cannot get my hair to not look stringy. I have fine wavy hair that needs moisturizing and these products are just making it feel stringy I am using it wrong.

    Great if your hair needs a little extra love

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using this between my protein masks. It keeps my hair looking fresh and heathy. Curls look defined. One of my favorite products!

    Good bu Use Sparingly

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a good product if your hair needs protein. At first, it did wonders for my curls. However, after using a small amount several times a week for a few weeks, I found that it was not improving the look of my hair, and my hair looked worse. I laid off the product and my hair started looking better. Now I use it once in a while. I think it’s true what they say about balancing moisture / hydration and protein. You don’t want to use a protein product too frequently. A couple of times per month suffices for me.

    Nice waves after diffusing

    I have used the creme just once and am not very practiced in cgm but the waves where really nice after diffusing. Usually the waves vanish within 30 minutes because my hair is very thin and heavy. I hope i will find a fitting strong hold jelly to fix my waves but I think the cream is a good base for it.

    This is my go to

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to curl cream- great balance of moisture and protein without weighing my fine curls down. I love that it has a slight hold too which pairs nicely with the curl smith flexy jelly.

    Really light but reach styler

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely adore this! From the first usage I've noticed an incredible improvement in my curl definition. It's really lightweight and doesn't weigh down my hair at all, not to mention the lovely scent that leaves on my hair which is definitely a plus ✨

    Restoring health to my hair

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is helping me recover from the damage my hair has suffered for years due to keratin treatments and excessive heat. I have recovered my curls and my hair is stronger and shinier, I plan to continue using it during my transition to curly hair and also after I finish it since it’s always good to add protein to porous hair

    Seems good!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I combined this protein cream with Curlsmith’s gel and it left my hair feeling a tiny bit tacky, but even after only one application I could swear it already feels healthier (I bleach & colour my hair). I’m definitely impressed although the tackiness isn’t as nice.

    Hair reviving cream!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product! I have damaged hair from bleaching color treatments and this protein cream has brought life back to my hair. I apply it right out of the shower and brush through before using other styling products.

    Feather-light Protein Cream

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Feather-light Protein Cream for my wavy hair provides volume only when I've washed and shampooed hair, then scrunch-dried it with a towel, then applied it, combed it through, then scrunched it again, then left 15 minutes before scrunched drying it with hairdryer. The consistency of this cream is a nice easy-to-apply texture and isn't sticky. It works too apply it for my hair in this way as it seems to lock in moisture better this way. After 2/3 days re-wash and start again, like all products with my hair because my curls tends to drop out and then frizz.

    great way to style & take care of your curls

    Great protein cream! The curls hold the shape from the cream for about a day, and days following, the light scent also stays. My only real critique would be that after the cream and hair dry, some of the curls get a bit "crunchy" and rigid.

    Loved it

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it has been great. I lost my waves due to poor bleaching process and I'm so happy to see my waves coming back! My hair still looks a bit damaged due to the bad procedure but I can totally see the improvement. The Curls quiz is THE THING. Helped me find the right products. Loving it so far
