Our Take
This protein-free leave-in from the Fragrance-Free (grey) range delivers lightweight moisture and detangling without any added fragrance — useful for curlies with sensitive scalps, fragrance allergies, or those who simply don't want competing scents between their wash-day products and their perfume. It performs on par with the scented leave-ins in the range rather than being a lesser alternative: the same detangling slip, the same lightweight moisture delivery. Apply to dripping-wet hair after conditioning, then layer your usual styler on top. If sensitivity to fragrance has been stopping you from using a dedicated leave-in step, this removes that barrier.

How to Use
Take a small amount of product. Start with a dime-size and add up if needed - a little goes a long way! Rake the product through soaking wet hair, making sure you are evenly distributing it and coating every strand. Use the praying hands method to smooth the strands. Follow with your favourite Curlsmith styler for definition and hold.
