Curlshield Cream™

Heat protectant cream for diffusing and heat styling

CGM ApprovedStyleProtein-FreeStep: Style

Most heat protectants for curly hair are either too heavy or designed for straight styles — this cream-formula heat protectant sits in a useful middle ground. It shields hair from thermal damage during diffusing or blow-drying while adding a light hold and smoothing the cuticle, so it functions as both a protectant and a light styling base in one step. Protein-free and suitable for all porosity levels, it absorbs well without leaving residue. Apply to damp hair before your diffuser — UK curlies who diffuse regularly will want something like this in their routine, particularly through autumn and winter.
