Our Take
A curl-activating styling lotion that defines, moisturises, and reduces frizz in one step. Works as a standalone styler for looser curl patterns (2b–3b) or as a leave-in layer before a gel for tighter coils. One of Flora & Curl's original bestsellers, part of the iconic Sweet Hibiscus line. Protein-free and CGM-friendly.
