Description

WHY USE CURLSMITH FEATHER-LIGHT PROTEIN CREAM:
Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use. Curlsmith Feather-Light Protein Cream is a protein-enriched styling cream that combines the moisture properties of a cream with the hold properties of a gel, for the ultimate soft styling results.

HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
Curlsmith Feather-light Protein Cream is the perfect one-and-done styler. It provides both moisture and definition, making any curl type bouncy and elastic. But if you’re looking for a more personalized routine, the Protein Cream can also be cocktailed with other products: if your hair is extra dry, use your favorite Curlsmith leave-in before; if you want extra hold, finish the look with your favorite Curlsmith gel.

WHAT MAKES CURLSMITH DIFFERENT:
Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare ingredients to make premium products that really work. The Feather-Light Protein Cream is blended with a unique complex of Rice Protein & Hemp Oil, a fully plant-based alternative to animal keratin that makes the hair look stronger and more elastic.

NO NASTIES:
All Curlsmith products have zero spoons of sulphates, silicones, mineral oils and phthalates. Plus they’re Vegan and Cruelty Free.

HOW TO USE:
Apply to wet hair after your shower. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands, then use the “praying hands” method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Finally, flip the head over and scrunch upwards to encourage curl formation. Air dry or diffuse. For extra strengthening and a volume boost, use in combination with Curlsmith Bouncy Strength Volume Foam.

Only Curl Cream that works for my hair

5 out of 5 stars
CeeKay - 18 days ago
originally posted on http://www.ulta.com
I have researched, bought and returned many, many, too many hair products over the last 3 years of my curly hair journey. I dont use it as a one & done styler, in the shower I first apply leave-in conditioner combing through extremely wet hair with a very large tooth comb. I then add a curl enhancer (Treluxe serum), in the same way adding water to have it very wet. I then add this curl cream in the same way. I then comb hair the way I want it to dry. I glaze over treluxe gel, then microplop to encourage the curl. I hover diffuse until cast is set (not fully dry.) I have used this routine with other cream curis, this is the only curl cream that does not give me wet frizz, my curls dry soft, bouncy and shiny and last for days. I pineapple my hair at night and sleep on silk pillowcase in the morning can fluff and go haven't even needed to add water to refresh. I am so happy, I tried this product. Curly hair is a science project.

Bouncy Curls!

krystie j. - 1 month ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This protein cream really is light weight and so hydrating! I love the smell, the consistency (it has a lot of slip), and I love that it gives me a good dose of protein for my medium to high porosity hair. The hold in the product is just enough to give me bouncy curls for the day, but if i want my curls to last longer, I just glaze a small amount of gel over.

Excellent Hair Cream

5 out of 5 stars
Julia B. - 2 months ago

I’ve been using Curlsmith’s Feather-Light Protein Cream for a few weeks now, and I’m absolutely in love with it! As someone with wavy, medium-porosity hair that craves a little extra strength without the heaviness, this product has been a game-changer. The texture is perfect—light and creamy, yet it glides through my strands effortlessly, leaving them soft, bouncy, and defined without any crunchy residue. I adore how it combines the moisture of a cream with just the right amount of hold, making it a true one-and-done styler for my busy mornings. The protein boost from the rice and hemp extracts really shines through—my curls feel more elastic and resilient, especially after heat styling or humid days. Plus, the scent is a delightful bonus: a subtle, fruity-citrus vibe that’s fresh without being overpowering. It’s lightweight enough that it doesn’t weigh my hair down, yet it still tames frizz and clumps my waves beautifully. I’ve even layered it with a leave-in for extra hydration, and it plays so well with other products. For anyone with weak or damaged curls looking for a simple, effective styling cream, this is a must-try. Curlsmith nailed it with this one—my hair has never looked healthier or felt softer!

Super nice 'base layer'

5 out of 5 stars
Joyce H. - 2 months ago
originally posted on CURLSMITH
I use this cream as a 'protein base layer' before I apply the in shower strong hold gel. I was a little hesitant to buy it, since all creams I used before made my hair feel dirty and weighed my curls down (2c/3a). But I really love this cream! It is light and it defines my curls. The hold is not strong enough for my waves/curls, but when I combine it with the gel I get a nice and strong cast, with healthy and bouncy looking curls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favourite leave in cream so far, it’s a game changer as I realised my hair loves the added protein. Also very good hold which helps maintaining a good definition that last up until my next wash day. My favourite line.

Perfect when mixed with Oil In Cream

5 out of 5 stars
Jen - 2 months ago
originally posted on Curlsmith
I use a little of this mixed with a little of the Oil In Cream, and it’s fantastic for my medium density, medium/high porosity hair. The Oil In Cream alone, while I really, really like it, was just a tad too heavy but adding this solved that issue.

Feather weight? No

I dont know what they are talking about, feather weight. This product weighed my hair down a lot. It has a gross tacky feel when dry. I actually hate it. I bought their other "heavier" protein cream product, I think it is a conditioner that uou can leave in or rinse out, and that worked much better for me as a leave-in. It dud mot weigh my hair diwn at all. But overall I think this entire line is over priced.

This is really great on my wavy hair, the packaging wasn’t great as the lid does not stay shut so I can’t transport it anywhere which is a bit of a problem , my hair loves it though.
