Depending on the type of hold, shine and strength you were looking for your finished look, would depend on the product you would need. Know the why behind your choice of product. Are you going for a look that is strong & structured? Or Loose and soft? Pieced texture or Smooth? Bigger and more Volumized or flatter and more laid down?

Creams

Creams usually sit very natural, softer to the touch, with non-crunchy cast left on the hair. But great for definition of your locks. Low in shine.
