Styling Cream, Mousse + Gel

	Sebastian Originals Potion 9 This mid-weight leave-in treatment smoothes flyaways after blowdrying, but it's more of a styling cream. Run a dime-size portion (more makes hair crunchy) through a wet mop to "define and detangle" curls. The slippery mix of silicones and moisturizing oils, including jojoba and olive oils, give hair luster and sil...More See more Sebastian products Average rating from 49 members 9
	Redken Elastic Works 09 Redken Elastic Works 09 gives wavy hair well-defined curls that manage to stay bouncy and soft, not crispy or crunchy. I applied it to damp hair and diffused while scrunching. Surprisingly, my waves came out as loose curls that were low on frizz, as opposed to kinky curls that were stiff or frizzy. Straight hair types can u...More See more Redken products Average rating from 12 members 9
	Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer We curly people are special. We can't cope with humidity. We can't run into the 7-Eleven after a day at the beach and not scare the clerk. Help can be found in this mid-weight curl-defining lotion, which consolidates smaller curls into smoother, defined sections. As hair dries, a wheat protein/aloe mix contracts to hold cur...More $17.50See more Aveda products Average rating from 63 members 9
	Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream with Pure Olive Oil Instead of coating hair in a slick shine like the name suggests, a recommended pea-sized amount (I used two) of this olive oil-based leave-in conditioner softens, shines and moisturizes without weighing strands down. Missing from the petite tube are the smell and greasy finish associated with UVA/UVB sunscreen. The cream is...More $26.50See more Frederic Fekkai products Average rating from 151 members 8.5
	Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm This light lotion is a safe option for O.D.-ers who just can't stop at a nickel-sized dollop of straightening cream (like me). Worked through wet curls before a blow-dry, it renders hair slippery and round-brushable without an oily silicone effect; my blow-out remained nicely un-wavy all day. As for claims its hemp seed oil...More $12.90See more Alterna products Average rating from 26 members 8.5
	Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Curvaceous Curls Styling Mousse This hefty can of styling mousse reads like a wakeup call to those addicted to their flat irons: "Stop fighting your curl!" Packed with polymers to increase shine and make hair lie flat, a little of this light foamy agent goes far to scrunch into hair without leaving hands sticky or curls crunchy. Although thick h...More $3.69See more VO5 products Average rating from 39 members 8.5
	Victoria's Secret So Sexy Volumizing Mousse Hairstyling products may not be the first things that come to mind when you think of Victoria's Secret, but the So Sexy Volumizing Mousse deserves a second glance. It's easy to style with and gives flexible hold that lasts all day. Never sticky, it can be a little crunchy if you apply too much (a palm full is enough for sho...More $9.50See more Victoria's Secret products Average rating from 31 members 8.5
	Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Curl Creme Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Creme is excellent at coaxing curls out of slightly wavy hair while leaving strands soft, not crunchy. Apply a generous amount all over, then scrunch or use fingers to form whatever size curls you want. Ideally you should let strands air-dry, but if you're time crunched, use a diffuser to bl...More $26.63See more Bumble and bumble products Average rating from 49 members 8
	Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme "Universal"? Um, only if you live in a universe full of coarse-haired people. If you do, apply this thick cream to dry hair to infuse with moisture and shine via coconut, aloe and jojoba, plus a mega dose of that classic Aveda scent (people always comment -- it's <i>that</i> sniff-tastic). For those wi...More $16.00See more Aveda products Average rating from 26 members 8
	Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Weightless Volumizing Mousse Big hair that holds overnight -- really. Applying this fragrant mousse is both fun and awkward; mild pressure on the whipped-cream-can tip releases a puff of mousse the size of a lemon. (You'll need three of those.) Unless you spray directly on roots (beware product overload), it can be challenging to work mousse into roots...More $4.29See more VO5 products Average rating from 12 members 8
