DASHU Curl Cream: Choosing Your Finish and Styling Curls
DASHU's curl creams define and hold curls and waves with different finishes. This guide walks through the four 150ml creams in the collection, how the wet, super-hard, and volume-up versions differ, and how to apply a curl cream so you get definition without crunch.
What a curl cream does
A curl cream shapes and defines a curl pattern while smoothing frizz. It is more flexible than a wax and gives more structure than a leave-in conditioner. You work it through damp or dry hair, scrunch or twist the curls, and let them set. DASHU's creams are styling products, so they handle definition and hold rather than deep conditioning.
The four creams in this collection
The collection has four 150ml creams: a Curl Cream Volume Curl Only, a Daily Wet Curl Cream, a Daily Super Hard Curl Cream, and a Daily Volume Up Curl Cream. They share a curl-defining base but differ in finish and hold, which is the main thing to weigh when picking one.
Wet, super-hard, and volume-up compared
The Daily Wet Curl Cream leaves a damp, separated wet look with softer hold. The Daily Super Hard Curl Cream is the firmest, made for curls you want locked in place. The Volume Up and Volume Curl options lean toward lift and fullness rather than a slick finish. Choose wet for a glossy look, super-hard for staying power, and volume for body.
Applying to wet or dry hair
Curl cream behaves differently depending on how wet the hair is. On damp hair it sinks in and sets the curl as it dries, which suits the wet-look cream. On dry hair it acts more like a styler for touch-ups and reshaping. Start with a small amount and add more, since too much weighs curls down and flattens the pattern.
How to work the cream through curls
Warm a small amount between your palms, then rake it through the hair from roots to ends. Scrunch upward or twist sections to encourage the curl shape, and avoid combing it flat once it is in. Let the hair air-dry or diffuse on low heat. Scrunch out any crunch with your hands once dry for a softer look.
Getting volume at the root
For the volume-up and volume curl creams, focus the product mid-length to ends and keep the roots lighter so they are not weighed down. Drying upside down or lifting the roots with your fingers while they dry adds height. Heavy hands at the scalp are the usual reason curls fall flat, so go easy there.
Who these creams suit
This line fits men with natural curls or waves who want to define the pattern and control frizz, plus anyone already using DASHU and adding a curl product. If your hair is straight or you want a matte clay or wax finish, a curl cream is the wrong tool. Match the cream to your hair type and the finish you are after.
Refreshing and washing out
Curls can be revived between washes by dampening the hair and scrunching, sometimes with a little extra cream. The creams wash out with a normal shampoo. Keep the tub sealed and at room temperature so the texture stays consistent, and use clean hands to avoid contaminating what is left.
