milk_shake lists this cream for all hair types. It's most useful if your hair frizzes when you blow-dry it or puffs up when it air-dries, and you want it smooth without the stiff or coated feel of a firmer product.

It's a simple leave-in styler, so it's easy to use at home as well as in the salon chair.

Frizz usually shows up during drying, and that's when this cream works. It coats the hair with enough slip to let a brush pass without snagging, smooths the cuticle as it dries, and still leaves hair soft and moving. The light hold makes it a finishing base rather than a fixative, and it pairs well with Lifestyling Thermo Protector when you're using hot tools.

• Apply the amount you need to clean, towel-dried hair.
• Massage it into the mid-lengths and ends.
• Blow-dry or style as desired; for air-drying, let hair dry without further product.

Brushes glide through during a blow-dry, frizz stays down, and hair feels light and moves rather than looking weighed down. Because the hold is light, you can use it for a sleek finish or a soft air-dry.

The hold is light, so it won't keep an updo or defined curls in place on its own. The formula relies on silicones, so it's not for silicone-free routines. Some users find the current version thinner than the old formula, so start with a small amount. Stock may still include the earlier Lifestyling tube, whose formula may differ slightly from the list shown here.
