Curlsmith Hold Me Softly Style Balm

Description

This balm is a smooth whipped-cream moisturizer that enhances curls and waves achieving a natural, effortless look. It provides a very soft hold, which means you won’t have any cast or crunchy residue. It’s great on its own for a soft, romantic style, or if you want defined frizz-free curls you can layer it with a stronger hold styling gel.

WHO IS IT FOR?

All curl types. Use on its own if you have a looser pattern and layer with stronger stylers if you have tighter curls. Best for medium to coarse textured hair. Suitable for any porosity.
