If Urban Care's curl cream leaves your hair crunchy, start with a smaller amount to prevent accumulation. Apply a dime-sized amount, increasing just as needed, and focussing on the mid-lengths. This helps to reduce the crunchiness caused by applying too much product to the scalp.
Apply the cream evenly to damp hair with your fingertips, ensuring that every strand is lightly covered. Use a wide-tooth comb for a softer application that promotes natural curl patterns without adding weight.
After applying, lightly scrunch your curls and let them air dry for a softer look. Avoid stroking your hair while it dries, since this can cause frizz and stiffness.
Finally, once your hair has dried, scrunch it again with your fingertips or a small quantity of lightweight oil to break up the curl cream cast. This technique creates soft, defined curls without the crunch.
These are key methods that we can offer. If you have more, please share.
