This curl activator has a light lemon scent, and it’s also thick – it should be used accordingly. Usually, the procedure is to wash hair (or co-wash) and have it wet. The Jane Carter Solution Curl Defining Cream definitely leaves your hair moisturized and feeling nice and soft.
Kinky Curly Curling Custard
A custard, if you’re not familiar with, has among the same consistency with gel but thicker. The great thing about Kinky Curly’s Curling Custard is that it gives you a shiny and beautiful curl pattern. In addition, it should only be used when your hair is wet. This prevents dry hair from getting sticky (for best results). Check out this tutorial on a beautiful wash-and-go style with Kinky Curl Curling Custard.

Unlike its other gels, Shea Moisture’s Multivitamin Gel Cream is best for styling and defining your curls. Along with the Fruit Complex line, the Gel Cream is packed with Red Raspberry Ketone, Goji, Acai and Guava Extracts. What’s so great about this curl activator, even as a gel product, is that it works great with damp or wet hair.
