CURLSMITH Curl Defining Styling Soufflé – Strong Hold Custard Gel, 8 oz | Frizz Control & Shine

CURLSMITH Curl Defining Styling Soufflé is a vegan, strong-hold custard gel that sculpts and defines curls while locking in moisture and shine.

This styling soufflé blends rich emollients like Babassu and Avocado oils with a custard-like gel texture to give curls pronounced definition, reduced frizz and long-lasting shape without drying. It forms a temporary cast as it dries for high hold, which can be broken by scrunching out the crispness to reveal soft, bouncy curls. The formula is color-safe and free from sulfates, silicones and drying alcohols, and is certified vegan and cruelty-free.

How does this soufflé create strong yet touchable hold?

The product delivers a high hold by forming a light cast around each curl as it sets, providing structure and definition. That cast gives strong curl memory but can be softened after drying so hair feels flexible, not stiff.

• Hold level: strong (firm cast that sets while drying)
• Finish: shiny, defined curls once scrunched out
• Post-dry feel: break cast with oil or scrunching for softness

Will it keep frizz under control and maintain moisture?

Yes — moisturizing oils in the soufflé help smooth the cuticle and shield strands from humidity, reducing frizz while maintaining hydration. The formula balances definition with nourishment so curls stay lively instead of crunchy or dehydrated.

• Key emollients: Babassu oil and Avocado oil for hydration
• Frizz control: smoothing cast reduces flyaways and puffiness
• No drying ingredients: free from drying alcohols and sulfates

How do I use the styling custard for best results?

Work a small amount through clean, wet or damp hair, distributing evenly from roots to ends. Allow hair to air dry or diffuse until the cast sets; then lightly scrunch or use a little oil to break the cast and reveal soft, defined curls.

• Application: apply to damp, detangled hair for even coverage
• Drying: air-dry or diffuse on low to set the cast
• Finishing: scrunch out crunch with oil or serum for shine and bounce

Is this suitable for all curl types and color-treated hair?

The soufflé is formulated to work across a wide range of curl patterns, from loose waves to tight coils, providing buildable hold and moisture without weighing hair down. It’s color-safe, so it won’t strip vibrancy from dyed hair.

• Best fit: waves, curls and coils seeking definition and hold
• Color-friendly: safe for treated and color-enhanced hair
• Buildable: use more product for stronger hold or less for lighter definition

Who is this for: This product is ideal for anyone with textured hair who wants a reliable, high-hold styling product that also nourishes. It suits curl enthusiasts who prefer vegan and cruelty-free formulas, those protecting color-treated hair, and people looking for a finish that combines strong structure with a soft, shiny outcome once styled.
