How to choose

Cream for shaping and moisture

Curl Corps Defining Cream enhances natural texture with a moisturising cream format. Apply to damp curls for styling; compare the gel when keeping the shape is the more important decision.

Gel for definition and hold

Curl Corps Enhancing Gel helps hold curl definition. Use on damp curls, then air-dry or diffuse. Amika permits pairing it with the cream, but begin with the format your routine is missing rather than assuming you need both.

Refresh between wash days

Power Hour refreshes an existing curl or wave style. Follow its label for the refresh step; do not substitute it for scalp cleansing or automatically layer a full new dose of cream and gel each day.

Your questions, answered

Does curl pattern choose the whole routine?
Also consider strand thickness, dryness and the hold you enjoy. Fine curls and coarse curls can need different conditioning weights.
Cream or gel first?
Choose the format for your main need before layering. For the featured Curl Corps pair, the brand supports combining them on damp curls; other formulas may have different directions.
Must every curl be diffused?
The featured Curl Corps products allow air-drying or diffusing. Check the directions of the product and the exact dryer attachment you choose.
Is refresh spray a dry shampoo?
No. Curl refresh focuses on the existing shape and feel. Dry shampoo addresses between-wash root refresh; neither replaces washing with water.
