MOSITURE & DEFINITION - The Soufflé is a moisturiser AND a medium hold styling gel all in one! It is a styling gel with a unique texture, a semi-solid jelly which provides moisture, bouncy hold and definition to any curl type.

HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS - After it is applied, the Soufflé creates a slight "cast" on the curls, which traps moisture inside and gives definition. This will feel slightly hard to the touch while the curls are drying, but once they are completely dry you just need to gently "scrunch" your hair upwards to break the cast and reveal soft, defined curls.
