There are a myriad of products for curly hair on the market. Most claim to define and moisturise curls - and these two new products from KMS, part of their Curl Up range, claim the same thing - moisturised, defined curls which aren't crispy and retain movement and bounce.
The Perfecting Lotion provides definition and also claims to allow re-definition during the day with a bit of scrunching. The formula is a fairly thin but still rich and slippy liquid which distributes evenly throughout the hair. My normal curl routine is to apply product and then scrunch gently before leaving my hair alone to encourage curls. I found that the Perfecting Lotion did reduce frizz, but didn't really encourage my curl very much - the end result was more wavy than curly. I suspect that this is partially down to the lack of ingredients which pull up the curl and set it in place - this definitely avoids crunch, but means the curl enhancement isn't quite as impressive as other products which do leave a bit of residue behind.
On the other hand, the Leave-In Conditioner delivers brilliantly on its promises - which are to simply add moisture and reduce frizz without weighing the hair down. The light feeling cream is also silky in texture, and the ends of my hair were definitely less fuzzy after use. Avoid applying on the root area unless your hair is super dry, though - this stuff may feel light, but it's very moisturising, and over application will leave your hair feeling a bit overcoated.
Unfortunately neither of these products rocked my curls - but I will continue to use the leave in conditioner for well moisturised, less fuzzy hair.
