with a mane of luscious curls or waves will be all too aware of the daily struggles of taming frizz, particularly during the sweltering summer months. A mere glance at the sun or a brief

moment in humid conditions can unleash a fuzzy halo, instantly morphing curls into an unruly, untamed mass that's more chaotic than charming - an issue Monica from Friends famously

encountered in that iconic Bahamas episode, where she claimed: "It's the humidity." However, curly-haired enthusiasts and beauty aficionados have been singing the praises of a

curl cream from Curlsmith, a respected brand specialising in curly hair care, which claims to triumph over the most relentless humidity and frizz - whether that's during a UK heatwave

or a tropical getaway. The product promises to leave curls feeling luscious, defined, and wonderfully lightweight, and the best part is that it doesn't require the use of a hairdryer or

diffuser. The Weightless Air Dry Cream, available in a 237ml tube for £23 (or £19.55 with a subscription), has been carefully formulated with nourishing ingredients. This includes castor

oil, babassu, jojoba, and murumuru butter to inject maximum moisture and nourishment into hair. READ MORE: SHOPPERS PRAISE THIS FAKE TAN THAT GIVES 'THE PERFECT OLIVE COLOUR' READ

leave-in conditioner' that not only enriches curl texture, but also hydrates the hair without weighing it down, giving users the perfect blend of definition, bounce, and effortless

charm. Moreover, it has been crafted to bestow bouncy curls without the unwanted crunch, sticky residue, or greasy feel that commonly accompanies other curly hair care products. Tagged as a

'versatile' leave-in conditioner, users only need to massage a 5p coin-sized amount of Curlsmith's Weightless Air Dry Cream into wet hair and then evenly distribute any

remaining cream using the 'prayer hands' method. Scrunch the locks into shape and let them air dry to achieve definition with ease. Weightless Air Dry Cream £23 Curlsmith Buy here

Shoppers are full of praise for the Weightless Air Dry Cream. Especially suitable for finer hair that may otherwise be weighed down by richer formulas, this cream asserts itself as an ideal

choice. Yet, for those with thicker tresses in need of more support, the product can act as a solid foundation beneath a gel or mousse for enhanced hold. Competing in the realm of curl care,

Only Curls' Hydrating Curl Creme retails at £18 and offers similar moisture, nourishment, and curl definition with its shea butter, marula oil, and aloe ingredients. Another gem is

Umberto Giannini's Creme De Curl Control Cream which is designed to pair splendidly with Curl Jelly Scrunching Jelly - both are available as a set for £17.50 on Amazon. Raking in rave

reviews, the Weightless Air Dry Cream has captured the hearts of hair-car enthusiasts, achieving a top-notch 4.7-star rating from over 1,600 shining endorsements on the Curlsmith website. A

satisfied customer commented: "I have thick hair with thin strands, and a mix of waves and curls. I've been through more products in my lifetime than I can count. I struggle with

frizz, texture definition, and products weighing my strands down. "This cream has been a game changer, and I will never go without. It leaves my hair hydrated, soft to the touch,

defined, and bouncy. I often pair with either the air dry gel or wave spray and it's the perfect mix depending on the definition I'm going for." Another pleased user wrote:

"If you have low porosity hair like I do, then you know how easily our hair types get weighed down and greasy-looking after a few days of upkeep. I genuinely love Curlsmith's

lightweight products because I can layer and still have my hair looking fresh and bouncy, volumised with the hold my frizzy hair needs. "I live in a high humidity environment and I

sleep with my hair up in a pineapple in a bonnet (the girlies who get it, get it). I also layer this product with Curlsmith's protein Hold Me Softly Style balm and Curl Soufflé. This

combination is *chefs kiss*. I am a forever fan." Dubbed the 'best product ever', a thrilled Curlsmith buyer wrote: "I have 3C curls and love this weightless air dry

cream. It helps the curls hang together and not be frizzy and be soft instead of coarse. It's been super helpful in high humidity too. Huge fan." Someone else said: "I

absolutely love this product. I use it everyday on my curls. They feel soft and they have no frizz even on humid day." Article continues below While the Curlsmith Air Dry Cream has left

many with a non-greasy finish, there were a few who didn't find it as effective. A three-star review pointed out: "Makes a great curl but left my hair overall quite waxy and

greasy, very weighed down. Disappointed but I'll try again." For some users, the cream's 'weightless' claim was taken a bit too far, with one individual noting it

was 'almost too light'. They remarked: "Not my favourite curl cream. It's very, very light, almost too light that it doesn't hold my curls very well. It smells good

and I like the fact that it's air dry. However, I would have to use a ton of product to make the curls hold."
