Overview
A gel that melts into foam as it is worked through damp curls is the working idea behind Cake Beauty The Curl Friend. It pairs the hold of a gel with the lift of a foam and adds coconut oil and shea butter to hydrate.
Definition without crunch comes from a high hold styler that rakes or scrunches in section by section. The scent is a sweet lemon meringue pie, which is a strong note.
Who it's for
Wavy to curly hair styled on damp strands fits this gel-foam. Skip it for straight hair or for fragrance-free routines.

Performance notes
The gel-to-foam texture spreads easily through damp hair, so working it in by section from root to ends gives even coverage. Raking, scrunching or finger twirling then shapes each curl as the hold sets.
