Curl Cream

Curl cream is the all-rounder and the styling base for your curls . This cream helps to provide the hair with sufficient moisture and nourishment. By keeping the moisture in the hair, your curls are defined and the natural curl texture of your hair is fully brought out.

Stubborn, straw-like hair no longer stands a chance with a curl cream, because the cream gives your curls a healthy shine and suppleness.

Another advantage of curl cream is that it can protect your hair from environmental influences . The products contain valuable plant oils, such as shea butter, which nourish and care for your hair.

At Lockenbox you will find the perfect curl cream tailored to your hair type that will make your curls shine and bounce!

How do I use a curl cream?

The great thing about curl creams is that they are super easy to use and can be easily incorporated into your care routine. There is no need to wait for the cream to work and no extra rinsing is necessary. Perfect, right?

Curl cream is applied directly to damp hair after washing and conditioning .

You should n't wait too long after you get out of the shower because the wetter your hair is, the more moisture the curl cream will retain in your hair.

What should I pay particular attention to when using curl cream?

Applying the curl cream only takes a few minutes:

1. Put a small amount of curl cream in your hands and use your fingers to distribute the product evenly throughout your hair .
   
   To start with, a pea-sized amount is enough because you don't want to weigh your hair down unnecessarily. If your hair needs more product, you'll definitely find out over time and can use more cream accordingly.
   
   
2. Work in sections and don't destroy the curls with your fingers. So don't ruffle your hair wildly, but work with care. It's best to use one of the Curly Girl methods to work in styling products, such as the Praying Hands or the Finger Coiling Method .
   
   
3. Once the curl cream is well distributed in your hair , it is best to let your hair air dry or use a diffuser to dry your hair.
   
   
4. For a perfect hold, you can use a curl gel . Curling gel is applied after the curling cream to seal in the moisture in the hair and ensure a perfect hold.

What are the benefits of curl cream for my hair?

1. Strengthening the wave pattern: The curl cream helps to bring out the unique wave and curl pattern of your hair by defining your curls. The curl cream softens the hair so that your hair can be modeled. With the right styling technique, the necessary definition is achieved in the hair.

2. Prevents frizz: The main cause of frizz is hair that is too dry . This causes the outer layer of the hair, the cuticle, to stand up and the hair looks brittle and brittle.

If high humidity is added to the mix, the drama begins: the hair greedily absorbs the moisture from the air and as a result, the individual hairs curl. Frizz alert !

Curl cream helps you to finally say “bye-bye” to unwanted frizz and the days of tangled, flyaway hair and unsightly curls at the roots are a thing of the past.

3. Moisturizes: Curly-haired people and people with naturally wavy hair usually share the problem that their hair is too dry. This is due to the nature of the thing and the structure of curly hair. Moisturizing care is therefore essential to keep frizzy hair healthy and vital.

4. Makes your hair shiny and manageable: A curl cream also helps you give your hair an extra portion of healthy shine . Wavy hair tends to look brittle very quickly.

The nourishing ingredients in curl cream help to ensure that the hair is sufficiently supplied with nutrients and moisture. This makes the hair easier to handle and simply feels better.

Which curl cream is suitable for fine hair?

Curl creams are available in different formulas for

• fine,
• thick,
• porous
• or non-porous hair.

If your hair is rather fine , we recommend that you make sure that the product is not too heavy . In this case, heavy means that it contains a lot of nourishing oil to bind moisture in the hair for a long time.

But for fine hair, a curl cream with a buttery consistency can quickly be too much of a good thing. Fine hair would be weighed down too much and would quickly look stringy.

Therefore, you should prefer light and creamy products that gently care for and support your fine hair .

How about the weightless Kurl Potion Superfood Milk from Les Secrets de Loly or the airy and light Curlsmith Feather-Light Protein Cream ?

Pro tip: If you mix your curl cream with a little water, you can also enjoy the benefits of rich curl creams.

Can I use hair cream for curls on straight hair?

A hair cream for curls is designed to moisturize naturally curly and wavy hair and to give it structure and shine .

If you have straight hair, these products can quickly lead to greasy and stringy hair . Curly hair has different care needs than straight hair and therefore curl cream is not suitable for straight hair.

But even if you have straight hair and have always dreamed of having curly hair, you can still make this dream come true. These days, perms don't have to look like the shaggy hair helmets of the 1980s!

Good hairdressers will help you achieve a natural and beautiful curl result with a perm. You can also find out the best care tips for maintaining your perm in our Lockenbox blog.

Do you also offer curl cream without silicones?

Non-washable silicones form a protective film around the hair, making it shiny and smooth. However, the hair is now sealed and moisture and nutrients can no longer reach the hair in the long term.

Over time, your curls and waves become more lifeless and brittle. To prevent this from happening, all of Lockenbox's curl styling creams are free of non-washable silicones .

Are curl creams also suitable for children?

All of our Lockenbox products are free from non-washable silicones, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil, drying alcohols and harmful waxes.

That's why our curl creams are also suitable for children. By the way, with the Curly Star product line from Pretty Curly Girl, you can even find special children's curl products in a cute design in our shop.
