Lightweight leave-in for fine waves; softens without a coated finish.

What the community says

A lightweight leave-in cream for fine, wavy hair that softens strands, detangles, and leaves hair clean-feeling instead of coated. It works with a tiny amount, though heavy-handed application can flatten fine hair and the price stings.
