When to Use Each
-
Custard: Ideal for daily wash-and-go styling, especially if you prefer a soft, hydrated finish. Great for situations where your hair needs definition, shine, and flexibility.
-
Glaze: Best for shaping curls that need structure, defining styles like twist- or braid-outs, or when you require long-lasting definition (think event days or humid weather).
Pro Tips: Make Them Work Together
-
Custard as Foundation, Glaze as Topper
Use the custard to nourish and define—then layer a tiny bit of glaze on top for hold and shine. -
Use Custard for Daily Wear
On wash days, use only the custard for hydrating definition that moves with you. -
Break Out the Glaze for Special Styles
When you want sleek edges or a style that lasts, finish with the glaze to seal the deal.
Final Take
-
Choose the Mango Papaya Custard for hydrating clarity and soft definition, with lightweight, coconut-free nourishment.
-
Pick the Sculpting Glaze when you need strong yet sleek hold, shine, and edge control—all without stiffness or residue.
