HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS - Use on soaking wet hair, right out the shower. Smooth down the length of the hair, using the “praying hands” method. Scrunch gently upwards, then air dry or diffuse. When fully dry, scrunch again to break the cast to be left with soft, bouncy, defined curls.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT - Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare natural ingredients to make premium products that really work. Healthy ingredients, professional results, no compromise.

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.
