moptop’s Curly Hair Cream delivers lightweight moisture and soft hold for effortless, defined curls, keeping hair smooth, frizz-free, and easy to style. For added curl definition, pair it with our Curly Hair Custard, or get extra hold and control with the Anti-Frizz Gel.
Curly Hair Cream
More moisture. More definition. A little hold and a LOT of curl love!
Love your natural waves, curls, or coils but wish they had a little more moisture, definition, and volume without a strong hold? We've got you!
Meet our moptop Curly Hair Cream! This rich, SUPER concentrated styling cream works like a primer for your curls, helping lock in moisture, enhance your natural texture, and provide soft, touchable definition with a light hold of approximately 3 out of 10.
The secret? It's all about MOISTURE + SOFT DEFINITION + the RIGHT amount of WATER!
Our Curly Hair Cream combines humectants, styling polymers, and soft natural butters to help hydrate, smooth frizz, and encourage your natural wave or curl pattern. Its thick, concentrated consistency helps bring out beautiful curl definition while allowing your hair to maintain natural movement and volume.
Some customers even find their hair looks CURLIER when using this cream because it helps enhance their natural curl pattern!
And here's the most important part: Your hair MUST be SOAKING wet when applying Curly Hair Cream! This formula is incredibly thick, and water is essential to helping distribute a small amount evenly through your hair.
Start with a PEA-SIZE amount! Adjust based on your hair's length, density, and moisture needs. You can always add more, but with this concentrated formula, a little truly goes a LONG way!

MopTop Tip: The THICKER the Product, the WETTER Your Hair!
We can't say this enough: WATER is your friend!
Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair that is SOAKING wet.
Apply a PEA-SIZE amount of Curly Hair Cream to your palms and rub them together. Gently distribute through your hair, working in sections if needed, and scrunch to encourage your natural curl pattern.
Remember, this is a SUPER THICK, concentrated product! Using too much or applying it to hair that isn't wet enough can leave your hair feeling weighed down.
Want more volume and softer definition? Use Curly Hair Cream alone and allow your hair to air-dry or diffuse.
Want more hold and longer-lasting definition? Follow with one of our MopTop styling gels.
Which MopTop Styling Primer Is Right for YOU?
We've got a primer for EVERYONE! Both our Leave-In Conditioner and Curly Hair Cream help prepare your hair for styling, but they offer different levels of richness, consistency, and hold.
-
MopTop Leave-In Conditioner - Lightweight Moisture + Zero Hold (0/10): Our thinner, lighter styling primer helps hydrate, soften, and detangle without adding hold. Great when you want moisture and natural movement or plan to layer with a gel for your desired level of hold. Apply to damp or wet hair.
-
MopTop Curly Hair Cream - Rich Moisture + Soft Definition (3/10 Hold): Our thicker, SUPER concentrated styling primer helps lock in moisture, enhance curl definition, and add natural volume with a little hold. Perfect for soft, touchable waves, curls, and coils. Apply a PEA-SIZE amount to SOAKING wet hair for best results.
Not sure where to start? Think of it as your primer journey:
Leave-In Conditioner (0/10 Hold) → Curly Hair Cream (3/10 Hold)
Remember, you don't necessarily need BOTH! Choose the primer that best matches your hair's moisture needs, how much product richness you prefer, and the amount of hold you want.
Want MORE Hold? Let's Talk Gels!
Your primer is the foundation. Your gel helps give your style staying power!
Once you've added the right amount of moisture, choose a MopTop gel based on your desired level of hold, hair porosity, and styling preferences.
-
Curl Enhancer Gel - Lightweight Definition (3–4/10 Hold): Our thinnest, lightest-hold gel. Perfect for soft, natural definition, shine, and movement. Apply to damp or wet hair.
-
Curly Hair Custard - Moisture + Medium Hold (5/10 Hold): Our bestselling, thicker, moisture-rich styler. Best suited for medium- to high-porosity hair. Apply to SOAKING wet hair for beautiful curl clumps and longer-lasting definition.
-
Professional Salon Anti-Frizz Medium Hold Gel - Stronger Hold + Frizz Control (6–7/10 Hold): Our thinner-consistency gel with stronger hold and added frizz control. Works across ALL hair porosities, including very low-porosity hair. Apply to damp or wet hair.
Remember: The thicker the styling product, the wetter your hair should be for easier distribution and better results!
A Little Second- and Third-Day Curl Love!
Want to keep your curls looking fabulous without starting over every morning? We hear you!
Our Curly Hair Cream helps provide moisture and soft definition, making it a great foundation for your styling routine.
For a quick refresh, lightly mist your hair with water, gently scrunch to revive your natural curl pattern, and add a TINY amount of cream to very wet sections only if additional moisture or definition is needed.
For longer-lasting hold between wash days, pair your Curly Hair Cream with the MopTop gel that best matches your styling goals.
Your moisture. Your definition. Your natural beauty - primed YOUR way!
