How it works

The product combines ingredients to help improve the appearance of curls. Isohexadecane helps to soften the hair, while glycerin draws moisture into the hair shaft, assisting in hydration. Polyimide-1 creates a flexible film on hair strands to enhance curl definition. Propanediol acts as a solvent, ensuring even distribution of the formulation. Silicone Quaternium-18 conditions and smoothens curls, reducing frizz. Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, moisturizes and imparts sheen to hair, supporting a healthy look. The VP/methacrylamide/vinyl imidazole copolymer enhances curls, adding definition. Tocopheryl Acetate, a form of Vitamin E, serves as an antioxidant, protecting hair from environmental factors. Together, these components help to provide a well-defined and manageable curl structure.
