A good styling cream is one of those products that quietly does everything. The HOLD.ME Styling Cream smooths frizz, adds shine, and protects against heat all in one step, which means less products, less time, and better results. Whether you air dry or reach for a blow dryer, it works beautifully either way.
If you are wondering how to use a hair styling cream, here's everything you need to know to get the best results every time.
What Is a Hair Styling Cream?
A hair styling cream is a lightweight styling product that smooths frizz, adds shine, and provides soft, flexible hold.
The HOLD.ME Styling Cream takes these core benefits further with added heat protection and advanced frizz control.
What Makes HOLD.ME Styling Cream Different
The HOLD.ME Styling Cream does more than just hold your style in place. It smooths the hair cuticle to reduce frizz, adds a weightless shine, and provides heat protection up to 400°F so your hair stays protected whether you are blow drying, using a curling iron, or a flat iron.
What makes it stand out is Definicire Technology, a 100% natural, clinically tested ingredient that locks your style in place while blocking out frizz and humidity throughout the day. The hold is soft and natural, never stiff or sticky, which means your hair still moves and feels like your own hair, just smoother and more polished.
So, who should use the styling cream? It works across all hair types and suits both damp and dry hair, making it one of the most versatile products in the HOLD.ME collection.
What Is Inside the HOLD.ME Styling Cream
• Aloe Vera: Strengthens and hydrates strands without weighing them down, leaving hair feeling light, fresh, and nourished.
• Argan Oil: One of the most effective natural oils for frizz control and shine. It smooths the cuticle and leaves hair looking glossy and healthy.
• Apricot Oil: Adds moisture and movement so your hair feels soft and bouncy rather than stiff or flat.
• Mango Seed Butter: Provides a protective layer that shields against heat damage and environmental stressors throughout the day.
How to Use Hair Styling Cream: Step by Step
- Step 1: Start with damp towel-dried hair. The HOLD.ME Styling Cream works best on damp hair straight after washing. Your hair should be towel-dried so the product can distribute evenly. It also works on dry hair to tame flyaways and refresh your style between washes.
- Step 2: Pump and apply. Start with 1 to 2 pumps, and warm it between your palms before applying. A little goes a long way, so always start with less and add more if your hair needs it.
- Step 3: Focus on mid-lengths and ends. Work the cream through your mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots. This is where frizz appears most and where your hair needs smoothing and protection. Keeping it away from the roots also lets your natural volume come through.
- Step 4: Comb through for even coverage. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly. This gives you consistent coverage and a smooth, polished result throughout.
- Step 5: Style as you like. Blow dry for a silky blowout, use a curling iron for soft waves, or a flat iron for a sleek, straight finish. With heat protection up to 400°F, you can style freely without worrying about damage. Prefer to air dry? Just leave it in and let your hair dry naturally for a softer, more effortless finish.
Once your style is set, keep the HOLD.ME Styling Stick in your bag for any flyaways or edges that need a quick touch-up throughout the day. It is compact, mess-free, and the perfect complement to the styling cream for an all-day polished finish.
Hair Styling Cream with Heat Protection: Why It Matters
Most people reach for a separate heat protectant before styling and a separate styling product after. The HOLD.ME Styling Cream combines both into one step, which not only simplifies your routine but also means your heat protection is worked evenly through your hair before you pick up any tool.
With heat protection up to 400°F, it protects your hair through the temperature range of most heat styling tools.
Apply it to damp hair before styling and your hair is protected from the first pass of any heat tool to the last. For extra strength and protection, it layers beautifully with the FAB.ME Leave-In Treatment for added hydration and detangling, or finish with a few drops of GLOSS.ME Hair Oil on the ends after styling for a final boost of shine. For even more frizz control options that work alongside it, explore the full frizz control range.
