Most products do one or the other — a gel that defines but leaves hair crunchy and dry, or a cream that softens but lets the curl collapse by lunchtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a curl cream built around black castor oil: rich enough to soften and smooth, light enough to let curls clump and hold rather than weighing them into strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy black castor oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack castor oil is thicker and heavier than most hair oils, which is exactly why it suits textured hair. Coils and curls are naturally drier than straight hair — the scalp's own oils travel slowly down a bend and often never reach the ends. A heavier oil coats the strand and stays there, sealing moisture in rather than evaporating off within the hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's been a staple of textured hair care for generations for that reason. It also gives the cream slip, which is what lets you work it through without pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart with damp hair, not soaking. Water is what you're sealing in, so the cream needs something to hold onto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork through in sections, raking with your fingers so it coats every strand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrunch upward to encourage the curl to clump and form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir dry, or diffuse on low. Don't touch it while it's drying — that's what causes frizz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with less than you think. Textured hair takes more product than straight hair, but a curl cream is easier to add to than to take out. On drier or coarser hair, layer it over a leave-in conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt works on your wigs too\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurly and deep wave wigs need this more than natural hair does. A wig has no scalp feeding it oil, so nothing replenishes it between washes — which is why curly wigs go dry, frizzy and undefined faster than anything else you'll own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamp the wig on a stand, work the cream through in sections from the ends upward, scrunch, and leave it to dry. It brings a flattened curl pattern back and keeps the ends from going straw-like. Between wears, a light refresh does the same job without a full wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it's worth buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDefinition without crunch.\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds the curl shape while leaving hair soft to touch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt seals moisture in.\u003c\/strong\u003e The main reason textured hair goes dry is that moisture escapes.
