Paul Mitchell Twirl Around Cream Serum is a dual cream-gel curl styler for curly and wavy hair, combining a hydrating cream phase with a smoothing gel phase in one product to define curls and waves without the frizz or crunch that straight gel formulas can cause. The formula is built on jojoba seed oil, shea butter, apricot kernel oil, and wheat germ oil for moisture and slip, held together with a lightweight film-forming polymer (VP/dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate copolymer) that keeps curls defined without stiffening them.
It's vegan, made without gluten, paraben-free, and color-safe. The scent is citrus-forward, with notes of lemon, pineapple, and pink grapefruit; the fragrance blend includes common allergens (citral, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, limonene, linalool), worth flagging for anyone with a sensitive scalp.
- Apply a small amount to clean, damp hair.
- For extra definition, twirl sections of hair around a finger as you apply.
- Air-dry or dry with a diffuser.
