This leave-in conditioner promises to moisturise and fight frizz without leaving any sticky residue behind, and we can confirm it does just that. Apply one pump to damp or dry strands and style as usual, it's as simple as that.

What we love most about this spay is how it instantly revives and refreshes hair. Spray on damp, freshly-washed hair to detangle and define curls, but also use on second and third-day hair to instantly bring curls back to life.

The first thing you'll notice is the scent (think lemon, musk and jasmine), the second is how clean it leaves your hair and the third is the volume it creates. An all-round wonderful cleanser for curls, with a matching conditioner if you like to be coordinated in the shower.

The best kind of curls have a lot of bounce and a diffuser is your secret weapon to ensure this. The air being evenly disrupted prevents frizz too, winner! You could go one step further and apply a little mousse before drying. Say hello to va-va-voluminous curls.
