Moisture Memory Release

Lightweight leave-in prep for the styling step

CGM ApprovedMoistureProtein-FreeStep: Leave-In

Sitting between the conditioner step and the styling step, this protein-free leave-in from the Moisture (orange) range is designed to prep hair for products rather than define curls independently. It adds detangling slip and moisture while leaving hair in an optimal state for a cream, gel, or oil-cream to grip onto. Reviews are mixed (3.8 stars on Ulta), suggesting it works brilliantly for some hair types and less so for others — low to normal porosity curlies with 2a–3b patterns seem to respond best. Worth sampling before purchasing full size; if your leave-in step consistently feels insufficient, this is designed to fill that gap.
