Love Curl by Davines Curl Cream 150ml

Product Information

Ehman recommends looking for a product that's natural and water-soluble. "If you don't use a water-soluble product, what happens is you get all this buildup on your hair over time," she says. That's because when you shampoo, not all of that product will come out in the shower. Siena Gagliano is the associate editor at Cosmopolitan who writes beauty , and has two years of experience writing about beauty, fashion, and lifestyle news. She's an expert at researching and writing hair and skin stories, like the best shampoos for curly hair and the hair brands for braiding hair. She regularly tests and analyzes curl creams, while working with the industry's top hairstylists and curl experts to assess new formulas and brands. Curl creams are like the love child of a leave-in conditioner and a curl styling product. "They help to define and amplify natural curls, eliminate frizz and add soft hold," says Nunzio Saviano, a hairstylist and founder of the eponymous salon in New York City. " Curls need to be moisturized and protected to stay bouncy, separated, defined and smooth, and curl creams can offer the necessary hydration for a perfect style."

According to Rivera, curl boosting sprays are typically a great choice for fine hair. "They can be spritzed evenly over hair and tend to be very lightweight," says Rivera. "This allows fine hair to maintain its curl rather than being weighted down." For medium hair, you can also look for a curl cream that is light in weight, which will help define the curl, while cutting down the frizz. And finally, if you have coarse hair, a denser curl cream can provide additional control and enhance style. Low porosity hair has cuticles that are super close together, making it hard for moisture and ingredients to penetrate the hair—resulting in product buildup and dryness. In general, low-porosity hair does best with lightweight formulas that contain little-to-no oils or butters, like the Rahua Control Cream Curl Styler. Two people with the same curl pattern can have totally different porosities, which means they need different curl creams. Also, consider the biggest "challenge" your hair presents. If it's frizzy, you'll need a product with lightweight moisture. "Everyone has a different desired outcome," she says.

Davines’s Range of Products for Curly Hair

The first time I used this I was shook! I normally style using the LCG method (leave in, cream, & gel)...but I can use only the styler and I'm good!" Curl type: Finding your curl type is essential to finding the right curl cream. To find your curl type, hop in the shower: It's easiest to determine when hair is soaking wet. "Detangle hair with a wet comb or brush and then you can start to look for the pattern of the hair," explains Rivera. Different types of curly hair, from wavy and loose to tight curls and coils, range by number. "For instance, slight to more distinctive waves fall in [Type 2] curls from A to C in distinction," says Rivera, while "loose, more spiral-shaped, curls tend to fall into the Type 3 category, ranging from A to C in subcategories," explains Rivera. Coily or kinky hair (i.e. hair that forms tight curls in a zig-zag pattern from the scalp) is a Type 4, ranging from A to C in subcategories. Regardless of your specific type of curl, curls in general are more delicate than straight or slightly wavy hair. The shape of the curled strand makes it more prone to breaking, drying out, and becoming tangled. When running a brush through tangled curls, it’s easy to damage strands, prompting frizziness and split ends. If you use bleach on your hair, it "completely destroys the porosity of your hair," which can make your curls brittle, Ehman says. So, if you bleach your hair for color, just make sure you use a keratin-based and moisturizing curl cream.

It's pretty rare to find a curly hair product that fits almost every head of curls, but this is one of them. "Not only is it free of fragrance, silicones, and waxes, but it's also weirdly customizable depending on your curl type," says Cosmopolitan deputy beauty director Chloe Metzger. "Although it's filled with coconut oil, which would usually leave my fine hair greasy, a dime-size dollop squished through my sopping-wet hair leaves my 3a curls defined, smooth, and bouncy."April Kayganichis a curl expert, educator, and hairstylist at The Curl Whisperer Salon in Austin, TX. When you find a product with more hold, it'll give you more texture, crunch, and volume. On the flip side, products with less hold will give you softer, more relaxed waves. I was hooked after the first wash...the curl definition was unreal! I’m especially impressed with the conditioner which made detangling a breeze." Curly Girl Method-approved? Yes* (*contains some isopropyl alcohol that's unlikely to have an effect on your hair)

I love it - one product and *done!* And did I mention it's great for the kiddos too because it's so simple??" If you like a product but you're not sure if it's water-soluble, look it up online, because it probably won't say so on the bottle. But in general, higher-quality products from brands such as Curology, Kevin Murphy, Davines, and Amica—are all water-soluble, she says.This product might be called a curl-defining cream, but it does more than just lasts throughout the day. It also softens your hair (thank you, argan oil), smooths flyaways, adds shine, and gives your curls a soft and healthy feel that lasts so freaking long, according to reviewers.
