Cream

Hair Cream - New Zealand

Hair styling products with a soft 'cream' texture offer an easy to apply and no-fuss solution to hair that needs managing. Its soft and workable consistency gives hair a natural and healthy looking shine, and provides a soft to medium hold that often feels weightless, without adding excess bulk to the hair. Perfect for hairstyles that don't look too manicured, but rather, gently put in place with a flexible hold. Perfect for also taming frizz, especially when used in long hair.

What Are The Types of Hair Cream Products?

There are several types of hair creams, each offering different levels of hold, texture, and finish:

: Offer light control and add smoothness or shine to the hair. Ideal for subtle, natural looks.

: Provide light to medium hold with some separation and definition, giving hair a natural, tousled texture.

: Have a thicker, more pliable consistency and offer medium to strong hold with a matte finish. Great for adding texture and volume.

: Thicker and heavier than creams or lotions, offering medium to strong hold with a matte finish and more control over the style.

How Do I Choose the Right Hair Cream for my Hair Type?

: Use lightweight styling creams or texture lotions to avoid weighing hair down. Look for volumizing or thickening formulas.

: Choose a fiber or paste for better control and a stronger hold to tame the hair while maintaining a natural look.

: Opt for creams that add moisture and definition without stiffness, helping to reduce frizz and define curls.

How Do I Apply Hair Cream Properly?

Start with a small amount (about a 10c coin size), rub it between your palms, and apply it evenly through damp or dry hair. Focus on the areas where you want control, and use your fingers or a comb to style. For more texture, scrunch the product into your hair for added separation and volume. 

Hair creams work best on slightly damp hair for a smooth, controlled look. Applying it to dry hair adds more texture and definition. Some creams can be used on either wet or dry hair depending on the finish you want, so experimenting can help you achieve different styles.

Can I Use Hair Cream Every Day?

Yes, hair creams are generally lightweight and non-greasy, making them suitable for daily use. Just be sure to wash your hair regularly to avoid product buildup, especially if you’re using heavier creams like pastes or fibers.

Is Hair Cream Suitable for All Hair Lengths and Styles?

Yes, hair cream works for all hair lengths:

: It adds texture and separation without stiffness, allowing for a natural, tousled look.

: Creams can smooth frizz, add moisture, and provide light control for more relaxed, flowing styles.

Choose a hair cream with moisturising properties to help define curls while reducing frizz. Look for creams that offer light to medium hold and keep curls soft and touchable rather than crunchy.
