Hydrate, define, and refresh every curl type with the Moisture Lock™ Collection—lightweight formulas that fight frizz, detangle, and deliver lasting softness.
When it comes to curly hair, hydration isn’t optional, it’s foundational. But not all moisture is created equal. That’s where our Moisture Lock™ Collection comes in: a trio designed to drench curls in lasting nourishment and keep it there. Whether you’re rocking loose waves, tight coils, or anything in between, these formulas lock in softness, control frizz, and define your natural texture, without weighing hair down.
Transitioning from summer into cooler months often brings dry strands, split ends, or frizzy curls. But on the bright side, winter can mean longer windows between washes with less sunscreen, sweat, or chlorine weighing your curls down. No matter the season, Moisture Lock is the everyday solution for curls that crave more care and less effort.
Why moisture matters for curls
Curly hair is naturally drier than straight hair because the spiral shape makes it harder for natural oils to travel from root to tip. That means curls are often left vulnerable and are more sensitive to the elements. Add in cold, dry air and daily adventures, and those curls can get extra thirsty.
Dry curls are more than just a little frizz, they’re more prone to tangles, breakage, and losing their bounce. That’s why consistent hydration isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a curl essential. Moisture Lock is designed to solve all of that in three easy steps: cleanse gently, condition deeply, and protect daily.

How to use it
Need a curl care routine that fits your real life? We’ve got you.The Moisture Lock Collection is easy to use and feels intuitive.
Here’s how we recommend working it into your routine:
-
Start with the shampoo 2–3x/week to gently cleanse the scalp and hair. It’s low-lather, so it won’t cause irritation or dry out delicate curls. Massage it in gently with your fingertips to lift buildup and refresh the roots.
-
Follow with conditioner every time you wash, or even more often for moisture between washes. Apply from mid-length to ends, detangling with fingers or a wide-tooth comb. For thicker hair types or tighter curls, leave it in for a few extra minutes—or don’t rinse it at all for an added hydration boost.
-
Add the leave-in detangler to style, smooth, and maintain curl definition. Use it on damp hair to prep for styling or on dry hair to revive and refresh curls between washes. It’s lightweight, never sticky, and leaves curls soft, shiny, and ready for the day.
- Finish with the styler that meets your needs, either while hair is still damp or before styling, for long-lasting, flawless curls.
