Notes

  1. Depending on your climate, your curl cream may melt. If that happens, simply stick in the fridge for a few hours and whip again.
  2. If your curl cream gets solidified (it gets too cold), throw back into the stand mixer and whip again.
  3. Will keep for several months.
  4. Feel free to add some of your favorite essential oils such as lavender, peppermint, tea tree, or check out some of our favorite essential oils for hair!
