Our Take

New to the Strength (purple) range in 2025, this is a protein-enriched styling foam that addresses a specific gap: fine or low-density curls that need both volume and strengthening in a single lightweight step. The foam texture means it doesn't weigh down hair the way protein creams often do, making it more approachable for curlies who've had bad experiences with protein overload. Apply to soaking-wet hair, scrunch upwards, and layer with a gel if you need more definition and hold. Works across all porosity levels, and is a solid option for 2a–3b patterns that want body and structural support without the heaviness of a cream.

How to Use

Apply on soaking wet hair after your leave-in conditioner. Work the product through the hair in sections using the "raking method" for an even distribution. Scrunch the hair upwards towards the root to enhance volume. Diffuse your curls with your head tilted upside down for an even stronger volume boost.
