Our mission is to provide clean, effective products that help you achieve the curls of your dreams. We’re constantly looking for feedback and finding ways to improve on existing formulas to deliver better results and experiences to our community.
Take a small amount of balm. Start with a dime-size per section and add up if needed - a little goes a long way!
Rake the cream through soaking wet hair, making sure you are evenly distributing it and coating every strand. Use the 'praying hands' method to smooth the strands. This helps sealing cuticles and reducing frizz!
Select your desired styling method (scrunch/fingercurls/shingle) to enhance and define.
Air dry or diffuse for a loose, soft style or follow with a strong hold styler for longer lasting definition.

"This is best if you want to have loose curls and looking to add moisture in your hair but if you want more definition and fruzz control then apply Fragrance free strong hold gel…. I have noticed that if I layer both of them together , I get the best curls"
"The products were great on my hair. My hair feels healthy and manageable. Thank you."
"Very happy. Light. Gently. Calm, not overwhelming scent. Gentle hold with just the right shine. My friend turned me onto Curlsmith, and I might be smitten."
"It is a bit heavy for my hair even with just a quarter size amount. My hair is shoulder length and each strand is thin. I'll try using a smaller amount next time."
"Hold Me Softly Style Balm is the best Curlsmith product I've ever used, and I like a lot of them! My hair is really thick and dry, and this made my hair soft, untangled, frizz-free and shiny. It took me a while to figure out how much to use as it initially made my 2b/c hair straighter but I use less with the multi-tasking conditioner and it's amazing. Highly recommended!"
"This works so well for my hair, really moisturising, I love it"
"Hold is good. Smells like Tutti Frutti. Grown up fragrance would be nice."
"One of my two favourite curl styling products. Gives my curls amazing definition! and despite it being lightweight it keeps that definition all day. Love it!"
"This was the free mystery gift with my order, and I am amazed at how good it is. I normally choose firm styling products for my hair which can go very frizzy if I don’t apply any products. But this actually works, (as long as I use plenty of it), and makes my hair feel really soft whilst giving me great curls!"
"I recently tried this styling cream and was amazed at the results! I applied it after my leave-in conditioner and followed it up with a stronger holding gel and my hair consistently holds its curl pattern much better in between washes. This is a great product to help keep your curls formed and soft until wash day."
