What the brand says it does
Its product page describes a styling cream that moisturizes, softens and boosts curls, and reports that it:
- Encourages curl formation, softly coaxing curls into their natural shape
- Keeps strands soft but defined, with no crunch
- Gives bouncy curls that last, in a lightweight formula
On the ingredients behind it:
- Oat peptide: extracted from oat kernel, it forms a protective barrier on hair that locks in moisture to deliver shine and a silky feel.
- Tapioca starch: helps provide definition and soft hold to curls.
- Sea buckthorn: a superfruit and one of the few known plant sources of the fatty acid omega 7, which the page says promotes elasticity.
Soulfood, The Kure and Hydro Rush sit with it on the Amika range at Nava, curl stylers included.
