FAQ

what is the difference between curl corps defining cream and curl corps gel?

curl corps gel lightly moisturizes, controls frizz, seals in moisture, and holds the definition of curls for a long-lasting style. curl corps cream deeply moisturizes curls and enhances natural texture by encouraging curl formation. to get the benefits of both products, we recommend cocktailing them together and applying to damp hair before air drying or diffusing! different hair types may get best results from different ratios of the cream and gel, so experiment with the combination that works best for you.
