Apply a small amount to damp hair before blow drying or heat styling. This 8.5 oz tube is paraben-free, sulfate-free and cruelty-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat kind of finish does this styling cream leave?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formulae is built for sleek, polished results. It smooths the look of flyaways, tames frizz and adds shine and manageability, and the brand describes it as transforming frizzy and curly hair into sleek styles. Ionic and cationic hydration interlink technology is included to help cut static, support moisture balance and improve softness while boosting shine and smoothing performance. Expect a smooth, non-greasy finish with better brush glide rather than anything heavy or tacky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do you work this cream into a styling routine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a leave-in styling cream for the styling step, not a treatment, so it suits a regular wash-day or blow-dry routine on curly, wavy or frizzy hair. Smooth it through damp hair before blow drying or heat styling to help hold straight styles, tame frizz and improve control. Because it is lightweight, it layers under your usual heat tools without weighing hair down. The product data does not list a recommended frequency, so follow the directions on the pack if you style daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow is a cream different from a gel or a mousse?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGels and mousses typically set a style with a firmer cast, whereas this CHI cream is made for smoothing and straightening rather than crunch. It is a lightweight cream that helps turn unruly texture into smooth, sleek styles and improves brush glide, which makes blow-dry and flat-iron styling easier. If you are after a polished finish with shine and manageability instead of a hard-set hold, a smoothing cream is the more natural fit. If you want maximum definition with a stiff cast, a gel remains the better pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes it hold a style in place?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product data does not state a hold level such as light, medium or firm. What it does describe is control: it helps hold straight styles, tame frizz and improve control for long-lasting smooth results, and it is positioned as a smoothing and straightening cream rather than a maximum-hold styler. For a stated hold level, check the product label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAttributeDetailProduct typeSmoothing styling creamBrandCHISize8.5 ozHair typeCurly, wavy or frizzy hairFinishSleek, polished, shinyTextureLightweight creamApplicationDamp hair before blow drying or heat stylingTechnologyIonic and cationic hydration interlink technologyFree fromParabens, sulfates; cruelty-free\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49314891923639,"sku":null,"price":57.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/2818\/0663\/files\/31H0Iw6tmZL.jpg?v=1791403151","url":"https:\/\/skinhanok.com\/products\/chi-straight-guard-smoothing-styling-cream-b00ail783i","provider":"Skinhanok","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
