What is CG hair cream?

A hair cream is CG-proof if it is free from sulfates, silicones, and drying alcohol. It can be a godsend if you suffer from dry hair, but did you know that a cream is always good to use as a base? It protects your hair and helps retain moisture.

You often only need a small amount, and the latest formulas are designed not to weigh hair down. They are suitable for hair types 2 (wavy hair and hair with a slight wave). Curl types 3 and 4, with stronger curls, can also benefit from a cream for extra hydration. In addition, a cream makes styling your hair easier, as many creams contain ingredients that help keep your hair looking beautiful.

How do you use cream for curly hair?

Use a hair cream after washing and before applying gel. For finer hair or hair with a slight wave, you can use a cream as a replacement for a leave-in conditioner. Do you have stronger curls or thicker hair? Then you can combine both products. Experiment and discover what works best for your hair! Below is a step-by-step plan for applying hair cream:

1. Wash and condition your hair

• Use a shampoo and rinse it out.
• Apply a conditioner and rinse it out completely.

2. Apply the hair cream

• Take a small amount of cream (about the size of a 20-cent coin per section).
• Rub the product thoroughly between your hands to activate it and distribute it evenly.

3. Distribute the product evenly through your hair

• Use special clips to divide your hair into sections so you can reach all areas.
• Apply the cream evenly and brush your hair to distribute it well.

4. Style your hair

• Use a gel to give your curls extra definition and hold.

By following these steps, you'll get the most out of your cream for your curls!

Discover the benefits of curl cream

Not using cream for your curls yet? Check out these benefits, because a good hair cream can really make a difference:

• Protects your hair

A cream forms a light protective layer around your hair, making it less susceptible to external influences such as UV rays and friction from brushing.

• Moisturizes and nourishes

Ingredients such as glycerin and aloe vera help your hair retain moisture, making it feel less dry and more supple.

• Gives some styling

Some creams contain ingredients that help your hair fall into place more beautifully. Perfect if you prefer not to use too much product.

• Reduces frizz

Creams often contain smoothing ingredients that help control frizz and define your curls better.

• Makes your hair easier to style

Because a cream makes your hair softer and more manageable, it becomes easier to style and brush through.

Whether you have wavy, curly, or somewhere in between, a cream can really boost your routine. Try it and discover what it does for your hair!

The different types of creams for curls

Creams can often be divided into different types:

#1 Creams for more hold and care at the same time

These are creams that are suitable for all types of curls and textures and are often called curl activators. You can usually recognize them by the packaging, which says “styling cream” or “curl activator.”

#2 Moisturizing creams

Most types of cream fall into this category. These creams help add moisture to your hair, which is useful if your curls are dry or need a boost.

#3 Creams for colored or damaged hair

These cream formulas often contain extra ingredients, such as protein, to protect your hair and make it stronger.

How do you choose the best CG hair cream?

We have already explained that there are different types of creams, but how do you choose the right one? This depends on your hair type, styling needs, and ingredients. Consider the following points:

• Fine hair or frizz?

Do you want more definition without weighing your hair down? Then choose an activator or a cream that is also intended for styling.

• Do you like a natural look and softer curls?

An activator is also a good choice for this. It gives definition, but its conditioning effect keeps the hold soft and flexible.

• Dry and coarse hair?

Go for a moisturizing cream. This works for all types of curls and textures. Do you have finer hair? Then start with a small amount to avoid weighing it down.

• Dull, lifeless curls or hair that quickly loses its shape?

Then your hair could use a protein cream. This helps to strengthen your hair and ensures that your curls stay in shape better. Especially useful for dyed or damaged hair.

The difference between hair cream and leave-in conditioner

The difference between a leave-in conditioner and a hair cream is mainly in the effect on your hair: a leave-in conditioner focuses on hydration, while a hair cream also does something for styling. We'll explain this in more detail below:

• A leave-in conditioner is primarily intended to care for and protect your hair. It helps with hydration, makes your hair softer and more manageable, and prevents frizz. You usually use it immediately after washing, before applying styling products.
• A hair cream actually does both: it conditions your hair, but also provides a little hold and definition. Depending on the formula, it can reduce frizz and help your curls fall into place. Hair creams are often a little thicker than leave-ins and form a light protective layer around your hair.
