CURLSMITH Curl Defining Styling Soufflé — Strong Hold Gel Custard, 2 oz | Definition & Frizz Control

CURLSMITH Curl Defining Styling Soufflé is a vegan, strong-hold custard gel that defines curls, controls frizz, and locks in shine while keeping hair moisturized.

This lightweight, award-winning styling soufflé blends babassu and avocado oils into a semi-solid custard designed to glide through coils, waves, and curls. It forms a firm cast as it dries to deliver long-lasting shape and hold, then scrunches away for soft, bouncy results. Free from sulfates, silicones, and drying alcohols, the formula is color-safe, Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, and Vegan Society certified.

How does this soufflé create long-lasting curl definition?

The soufflé builds a strong but flexible cast around each strand, preserving curl pattern from roots to ends. As it sets, hair keeps its shape and resists humidity without becoming brittle.

• Hold level 8 — provides robust, multi-day definition
• Forms a cast that scrunches out for natural movement
• Buildable application lets you dial in firmness

Will it keep my hair hydrated and reduce frizz?

Yes — moisturizing oils help lock in hydration while smoothing the cuticle to minimize frizz. The formula balances strong hold with softness so curls stay defined without feeling dry.

• Babassu oil and avocado oil add slip and nourishment
• No drying alcohols, sulfates, or silicones to strip moisture
• Leaves a shiny, conditioned finish after scrunching out

How do I use this soufflé for the best results?

Work a small amount through damp, detangled hair from mid-lengths to ends, then style as usual. Allow to fully dry to form a cast, then gently scrunch or apply a light oil to break the crunch and reveal soft, voluminous curls.

• Apply to clean, wet or damp hair for even distribution
• Start with pea-sized amounts and build where needed
• Dry naturally or diffuse on low heat for faster set

Is this product suitable for all curl types and treated hair?

The soufflé works well across curl patterns—from loose waves to tight coils—and is color-safe for chemically treated hair. Its vegan, sulphate-free composition makes it a gentle styling option for textured hair that needs both control and care.

• Recommended for all curl types seeking strong definition
• Color-safe and formulated without harsh sulfates
• Vegan and cruelty-free certifications included on the label

Who this is for: Ideal for anyone wanting pronounced curl definition with lasting hold while maintaining moisture and shine—especially those who prefer vegan, cruelty-free styling. If you like a cast-and-scrunch technique for sculpted but soft curls, this soufflé is designed to deliver strong, buildable hold without compromising softness or color integrity.
