Curl Conditioning Oil-In-Cream

Bestselling oil-cream hybrid leave-in for soft, defined curls

CGM ApprovedMoistureProtein-FreeStep: Leave-In

Our Take

One of Curlsmith's original four launch products and still a bestseller — the Oil-In-Cream occupies the useful space between a leave-in conditioner and a light styler, blending oil nourishment with cream manageability in a single product. It smoothes the cuticle, reduces frizz, and adds softness without crunchiness, working on wet hair after conditioning before you add your gel. Protein-free and particularly well-suited to normal to high porosity hair in the 2c–4c range that needs moisture alongside its styling step. If you want to reduce the number of steps between your conditioner and your gel without losing definition, this sits in that gap more effectively than most.

How to Use

After your shower, divide wet hair into sections, rake and smooth through until all strands are coated. Try not to use too much product at first as you need to realise how thirsty your curls are. A little goes a long way. Do not rinse out. Proceed with your preferred styling method, then diffuse or air dry to reveal soft, hydrated curls.
