For naturally wavy and curly hair that tends to frizz or lose definition, whether you diffuse or air-dry. It is a good choice if gels feel too stiff for you. Suits coloured hair, and is simple enough for daily home use.

Curl Balm is made for people who want defined curls without the hard cast of a gel. It holds the curl pattern and keeps frizz down while leaving the curls soft and shiny, so they still move and feel like hair once dry.

Apply to clean, damp hair and work it through. Diffuse or let dry naturally.

Pros:

• Defines curls and waves while controlling frizz
• Shiny, soft finish with no stiff or crunchy feel
• Works with a diffuser or air-drying

Cons:

• Soft hold may not be enough to keep very fine curls in shape on humid days; layer with a stronger product if needed
• Not intended for straight styles
