Phyto Curls Definition Gel-Cream for Wavy and Curly Hair defines the natural shape of waves and curls, types 2A to 3A, without any crunchy, stiff feel. Waves and curls stay soft and silky, and the gel-cream fights frizz for up to 24 hours, according to Phyto's strand tests in 80% humidity. It is the Day 1 styling step of the Curls routine, applied after the shampoo and conditioner.

Key Benefits

  • Defined waves and curls: the [Hydra Curl] Complex helps redefine each wave and curl.
  • No crunchy finish: a creamy texture that holds curls while keeping them soft and silky.
  • 24-hour frizz control: tara gum coats the fiber like a shield against humidity.
  • Twice the shine: a white mallow extraction doubles shine, according to the brand's strand tests against water.
  • Silicone-free formula: made without silicones, mostly from ingredients of natural origin.

Key Ingredients

The [Hydra Curl] Complex, made from fermented sugar, coats the hair fiber to redefine waves and curls. Tara gum, with its film-forming properties, wraps the fiber against humidity, and white mallow root extraction brings shine. Sweet almond oil and illipe butter add softness.
