Q&A

What is the difference between the curl definer to Perfect hair Day™ In-Shower Styler?: The Curl Definer is meant for curly hair to define curls from root to tip and is applied on clean, damp hair out of the shower after shampooing and conditioning. It will tame your curls, leaving them bouncy, shiny, and frizz-free without any residue. The Perfect hair Day™ In-Shower Styler is applied in the shower and lightly rinsed creating air-dried styles with enhanced body, softness, natural texture & shine. It performs best on straight to slightly wavy hair.
I see on the shampoo and conditioner that they are both silicone free. However, I don't see anywhere on the curl definer cream that states that this is silicone free. So, my question is, is the curl definer conditioning styler silcone free or not? Thank you: Yes, all of our products are silicone-free.
When will this item be re-stocked?: At the moment we do not have an exact date when it will be back in stock.
How to you know which curl definer is right for your hair type. My hair is curly but very fine.: We recommend the curl enhancer for wavy hair and the curl definer to curly hair. If it is fine, we suggest to start with less product and add more if needed!
How does the curl defining cream compare to the no frizz nourishing styling cream? I have curly hair and have been using the no frizz product for about a year and love it. I’m curious how the curl line compares.: The No Frizz Nourishing cream is for someone who wants to prevent frizz, used mostly when blow drying smooth. The Curl definer is specific for someone who wants to wear their hair naturally to define their curly texture.
