Curl Creams by Keune New Zealand
Achieving defined, frizz-free curls requires the right products, and a high-quality curl cream is an essential part of any curly hair routine.

Whether you want soft, bouncy curls or a more structured, defined look, our salon-quality curl creams help shape and nourish curls while reducing frizz and flyaways.
What Does Curl Cream Do for Your Hair?
Curl cream is a styling essential for wavy, curly, and coily hair types. Unlike gels or mousses, which can sometimes leave hair crunchy or stiff, curl creams provide moisture, definition, and hold while maintaining a soft and natural feel. They help:
- Enhance curl definition without weighing hair down
- Reduce frizz and protect against humidity
- Lock in moisture for soft and hydrated curls
- Improve manageability and reduce tangling
- Support long-lasting curls with flexible hold
For best results, apply curl cream to damp hair, scrunching gently to encourage curl formation.
How to Choose the Best Curl Cream for Your Hair Type
The best curl cream depends on your hair’s texture, thickness, and level of dryness. If you have fine curls, a lightweight formula ensures definition without heaviness. For thicker, coarser curls, a richer, more nourishing cream will provide better hydration and control. Those with tighter curls or coils may benefit from layering a curl cream with other curl styling products for extra moisture and hold.
Should You Use Curl Cream on Wet or Dry Hair?
For the best curl definition and hydration, curl cream should be applied to damp, freshly washed hair. This allows the product to evenly coat each strand, locking in moisture and enhancing natural curl patterns. For touch-ups throughout the day, a small amount can be applied to dry hair to revive curls and tame frizz. Pairing your curl cream with a curl shampoo and curl conditioner will further enhance hydration and definition.
How to Apply Curl Cream
To maximise the longevity of your curls, follow these styling tips:
- Start with Clean, Hydrated Hair – Use a curl-enhancing shampoo and conditioner to prep your hair for styling.
- Apply Curl Cream to Damp Hair – Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends, scrunching gently to encourage curl formation.
- Use a Diffuser or Air Dry – For best results, let your curls air dry or use a diffuser on a low-heat setting to enhance definition.
- Seal with Styling Products – For added hold and shine, finish with a lightweight mist of a curl-friendly hair styling product.
- Refresh Your Curls – On non-wash days, spritz hair with water or a leave-in conditioner and reapply a small amount of curl cream to revive curls.
Can You Use Curl Cream with Other Curl-Enhancing Products?
Yes! Curl cream works well when paired with other curl-enhancing products. If you want extra bounce and volume, consider using a bouncy curls hair product alongside your curl cream. If you're looking for heat-styled curls, pairing your curl cream with professional hair curlers ensures smooth, frizz-free results.

FAQs about Curl Cream
Is Curl Cream Better Than Mousse or Gel?
Curl cream provides hydration and soft hold, whereas mousse adds volume, and gel offers a stronger hold. The best option depends on your styling preferences.
Can Curl Cream Be Used on Straight Hair?
While curl cream is designed for enhancing natural curls, it can also add texture and light wave definition to straight hair when scrunched in and air-dried.
Does Curl Cream Work for All Curl Types?
Yes! There are curl creams formulated for loose waves, tight ringlets, and coily textures. Choosing the right consistency for your hair type ensures the best results.
How Much Curl Cream Should You Use?
Start with a small amount, around a pea-sized drop for fine hair and a quarter-sized amount for thicker curls. Too much product can weigh hair down.
Can Curl Cream Be Used Daily?
Yes, but applying too much product daily can lead to build-up. Refreshing curls with a bit of water or leave-in conditioner can help maintain their bounce between washes.
