After sharing the Curlsmith Gel Comparison video, I received so many requests to compare the creams. With so many options, choosing the curl cream or leave-in conditioner can be tough, especially if you’re just getting started with your curly hair journey. In this video, I break down the following characteristics of each product:
Product | Moisture Level | Formula | Hair Types | Benefits | Key Ingredients | Protein (Strengthening) Ingredients | Humectant (Moisturizing) Ingredients |
High | Lightweight leave-in cream | All, especially great for fine hair | Won't build-up, hydrating, lightweight | Hyaluronic Acid, Murumuru Seed Buttter, Babassu Oil, Castor Seed OIl | None | Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin (low) | |
Medium | Leave-in cream | All, especially damaged or high porosity hair | 3-in-1 (rinse-out conditioner, deep conditioner, or leave-in conditioner), strengthening, protein/moisture balanced | Castor Seed Oil, Babassu Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Murumuru Seed Butter, Blackcurrant, Hydrolzyed Rice Protein | Hydrolzyed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract | Glycerin (low) | |
High | Styling cream | All, especially damaged or high porosity hair | Strengthening, softening, may provide some hold | Almond Oil, PVP, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract, Blackcurrant, Shea Butter | Hydrolzyed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract | Glycerin (low) | |
High | Styling cream | Medium to coarse textures, all porosities | Enhances curls, moisturizing, softening | Coconut Oil, Andiroba Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Aloe Vera, Olive Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil | None | Glycerin, Aloe Vera | |
High | Thick butter, oil cream | Coarse textures, high porosity | Helps prevent moisture loss by hydrating and sealing, softening | Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Oilve Oil, Aloe Vera | None | Glycerin, Aloe Vera |
I used all 5 creams in the same routine with the same gel to best compare my results. For gel, I used the Curlsmith Styling Soufflé because it’s one of my favorites and provides medium to strong hold. With curl creams and leave-ins, it’s tough to really tell a difference, although I do see some subtle differences. Leave-ins are designed to provide extra moisture and prep the hair for styling. Curl creams also provide moisture but usually provide additional benefits to “style” the hair or enhance its appearance, such as curl definition, clumps, shine, etc.
Can you spot the differences?
For reference, my curl type is high porosity, medium/coarse texture, and low density. Although my hair is part coarse textured so it can benefit from heavier creams, it’s also thin/low density so it has less volume when using products with heavy butters and oils. The biggest differences I notice are my hair has more volume with the Weightless Air Dry Cream and less volume with the Oil-in-Cream.
