Gradual Body Tan Lotion – Buildable Sun-Kissed Glow, 200ml

The Self-Drying Black Hair Styling Cream is a long-hold styling formula designed for black hair that dries naturally without the need for heat tools. Formulated to provide definition, hold, and shine while conditioning the hair, this cream keeps styles looking polished and controlled from morning to evening. It's the ideal everyday styling companion for those who want a smooth, put-together look with minimal effort.

Key Features

• Self-drying formula — no heat tools required for a clean, controlled finish
• Provides long-lasting hold that keeps styles looking defined and polished throughout the day
• Adds visible shine and smoothness to black hair for a sleek, healthy-looking finish
• Conditioning formula helps hair feel soft and manageable — not stiff or crunchy
• Suitable for a range of styling needs — edges, slick-backs, waves, and everyday looks

Key Features

• Styling Polymers — provide flexible, long-lasting hold that keeps hair styles looking defined without flaking or stiffness
• Conditioning Emollients — help hair feel soft and look smooth after styling, preventing dryness associated with regular styling product use
• Colour-Enhancing Pigment — enriches the depth and visible intensity of black hair tones for a polished, rich-looking finish

How to Use

1. Start with clean, towel-dried hair for best hold and longevity.
2. Scoop a small amount of styling cream onto fingertips — start with less than you think you need.
3. Work through the hair sections you want to style, smoothing and shaping as desired.
4. Use a comb or brush to refine the shape and lay down edges or flyaways.
5. Allow to air-dry naturally — the self-drying formula sets the style without heat. Re-apply a small amount to refresh hold during the day.

Best For

• Skin tone: Designed for black hair — all hair textures from straight to tightly coiled
• Concern: Frizz, flyaways, lack of definition, desire for long-lasting hold without heat
• Finish: Sleek, smooth, visibly shiny — flexible hold, not stiff
• Routine step: Styling — apply to damp or dry hair as the final step in your hair styling routine

Warnings & Patch Test

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
• Perform a patch test on the inner wrist or behind the ear 24 hours before first use. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience any adverse reaction.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the cream leave a white cast on dark hair?
No — this cream is formulated specifically for black hair and includes colour-enhancing pigments that enrich rather than lighten the hair's appearance. No white residue or cast.

Can I use this on dry hair as well as wet?
Yes — it works on both damp and dry hair, though application on damp hair typically provides a stronger, more even hold. For touch-ups and refreshing during the day, apply a small amount to dry hair.

How much product should I use?
Start with a small amount — about the size of a pea — and add more if needed. Using too much product can weigh the hair down and reduce the natural self-drying effect.
