Phyto Intense Curls Rich Curl-Defining Cream defines the natural shape of very curly and coily hair while nourishing it intensely, with no crunchy finish. It provides a 24-hour anti-frizz action, according to Phyto's strand tests in high humidity, and leaves curls supple and silky. It is step 1 of the Intense Curls styling routine, designed for curl types 3B to 4C.

Key Benefits

  • Defined curls: the [Nutri Curl] Complex coats the fiber to redefine the natural shape of each curl.
  • Intense nourishment: a duo of shea and cocoa butters reinforces the lipid barrier of the hair.
  • Frizz control: shields curls against frizz for 24 hours in the brand's humidity strand tests.
  • Natural feel: a rich cream that leaves curls soft and supple, never stiff or crunchy.
  • Twice the shine: a white mallow extraction doubles shine, according to Phyto's strand tests against water.

Key Ingredients

The [Nutri Curl] Complex, made from plant sugar derivatives, redefines curls. Shea and cocoa butters nourish the fiber intensely, joined by castor and sweet almond oils, while white mallow root extract boosts shine in a silicone-free formula.

How to Use

For curls 3B to 3C, spread a hazelnut-sized amount of Phyto Intense Curls Rich Curl-Defining Cream evenly over wet lengths, section by section, then scrunch the curls from ends to roots. For curls 4A to 4C, apply it all over dry or towel-dried hair. For long-lasting definition, follow with the anti-frizz curl jelly, then let hair air-dry or use a diffuser. Do not rinse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which curl types is Phyto Intense Curls Rich Curl-Defining Cream made for?

Very curly and coily hair, types 3B to 4C, as printed on the tube. Phyto designed this rich leave-in cream to define the natural shape of tight curls and coils while nourishing them intensely. The brand lists it for both women and men.

How do I apply Phyto Intense Curls Rich Curl-Defining Cream?

It depends on your curls. For 3B to 3C, spread a hazelnut-sized amount over wet lengths, section by section, and scrunch. For 4A to 4C, apply it all over dry or towel-dried hair. Then let hair air-dry or use a diffuser, without rinsing.

Can I use Phyto Intense Curls Rich Curl-Defining Cream with the curl jelly?

Yes. The cream is step 1 of the Intense Curls styling routine and the anti-frizz curl jelly is step 2. Phyto suggests applying the jelly after the cream for curls that stay defined longer, without a crunchy or stiff finish.

Does Phyto Intense Curls Rich Curl-Defining Cream contain silicones or nut oils?

It is silicone-free, according to Phyto, but it does contain sweet almond oil, along with castor oil and shea, cocoa and illipe butters. Check the full ingredient list if you avoid nut-derived ingredients.
