2
Rake the cream through soaking wet hair, making sure you are evenly distributing it and coating every strand. Use the 'praying hands' method to smooth the strands. This helps sealing cuticles and reducing frizz!

Best curly hair balm
"One of my two favourite curl styling products. Gives my curls amazing definition! and despite it being lightweight it keeps that definition all day. Love it!"
Waves everywhere
"Amazing product. I can’t believe how it transforms my hair. I’m so happy I tried it. A little goes a long way and really hydrates the hair! I knew I had a slight wave to my hair, but I had no idea it was WAVY"
Very moisturising and makes my
"Very moisturising and makes my hair hydrated. Great that it’s protein free too!"
So Soft, So Curly
"After deciding to look after the curls I used to just stick with using a gel on my hair but using this style balm with a gel totally changed the game for me. Instead of crusty curls which had left over residue my hair is now super soft and bouncy leaving me with amazing hair! I could not recommend enough, do try if you are looking for your curls to look glossier and softer!"
Style balm review
"The balm worked really well with the in-shower style fixer to define my curls. It's lightweight and would definitely recommend."
Perfect products
"I am based into the uk and spend a bit of time in Spain. Thanks to the airport security 100ml rule for fluids in hand luggage, I needed a solution and quickly! No problem for my hair, I went on the EU website and ordered my full product range delivered to my apartment so I now have curlsmith in both countries. Perfect 👌"
Soft curls and no crunch
"This has become my favourite curlsmith product. A walnut size bit through my hair and it holds my curls and waves without feeling sticky heavy or crunchy. Just feels natural. Lovely."
Favourite curl balm
"I loved this product for my hair and it smelt amazing. It never made my hair feel greasy or stiff, just glossy and moisturised."
Amazing balm
"Sooooo moisturising!! I love it!!!"
