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.

[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.] 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.

[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
Great product, easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this every second wash just to keep the moisture/protein balance right. I find it really easy to apply, not an overpowering smell and it helps with definition. A little goes a long way. I usually follow up with a gel to get a cast but if I miss the protein for a few weeks I end up with frizz so it’s invaluable for me and just easy to use instead of adding drops to shampoo or anything like that
Very pleased with this purchase.

Very pleased with this purchase. I have 2b/2c wavy fine hair that loves protein. I thinned the product with water and used praying hands to apply it to clean wet detangled hair. I scrunched it and it really brought out the wave pattern. I had a little frizz so the second time I used gel on top and this solved it. The cream is white, thins well, soaks into hair and doesn't have a smell. It didn't impact my drying time.
Game-changer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I was skeptical at first. I’ve tried every curly hair product under the sun — and most ended up in the bin. I thought this would be just another disappointment. But wow, was I wrong. After reading Curlsmith’s article on moisture vs protein, everything finally clicked. For the first time, I truly understand my hair. This product isn’t just another bottle on the shelf — it’s a game-changer. Thanks to Curlsmith for not only creating amazing products, but also for taking the time to educate us wavy/curlies with real, lasting knowledge about how to care for our hair. Curlsmith isn't a trend — it's a forever staple.

I have researched, bought and returned many, many, too many hair products over the last 3 years of my curly hair journey. I dont use it as a one & done styler, in the shower I first apply leave-in conditioner combing through extremely wet hair with a very large tooth comb. I then add a curl enhancer (Treluxe serum), in the same way adding water to have it very wet. I then add this curl cream in the same way. I then comb hair the way I want it to dry. I glaze over treluxe gel, then microplop to encourage the curl. I hover diffuse until cast is set (not fully dry.) I have used this routine with other cream curis, this is the only curl cream that does not give me wet frizz, my curls dry soft, bouncy and shiny and last for days. I pineapple my hair at night and sleep on silk pillowcase in the morning can fluff and go haven't even needed to add water to refresh. I am so happy, I tried this product. Curly hair is a science project.
Love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This protein cream really is light weight and so hydrating! I love the smell, the consistency (it has a lot of slip), and I love that it gives me a good dose of protein for my medium to high porosity hair. The hold in the product is just enough to give me bouncy curls for the day, but if i want my curls to last longer, I just glaze a small amount of gel over.
Great product
