Updated November 10, 2026
Dimethicone-heavy curl cream tames wavy frizz and flyaways; can leave hair stringy.

A dimethicone-heavy cream for scrunching into soaking-wet or damp waves, adding slip and helping flyaways behave. Fine, low-density hair may find the finish stringy, and it can leave dried curls frizzy without stronger hold.
