Our Take
An alcohol-free foam from the Rice Water & Aloe Vera range that provides hold for braids, twists, and locs without the drying effect that alcohol-based setting products cause — and without flaking. Contains Keratin Amino Acids for mild protein reinforcement that strengthens strands during the setting process. Explicitly free from parabens, sulphates, paraffins, mineral oil, and DEA. Works on both natural hair and braiding extensions — synthetic and human — helping them blend and lie smoothly. CGM-approved. Apply to individual sections before braiding or twisting, or smooth over completed braids to reduce flyaways and frizz.
