Transcript

This is my hair with only one product. This is the new smoothing tier dry cream from Crown Affair. When I style my hair, you guys, I don't want it to feel crunchy or look frizzy. I really just want my hair but better. So I go in and I apply this to damp hair, working it through mid lengths to ends, and it instantly is going to make my hair feel more hydrated and easier to manage. This is really gonna help my waves and curls dry more evenly, smooth everything out, and noticeably reduce frizz without weighing my hair down. The finish is soft and polished and just the right amount of good, no stiffness, no crunch. It just feels like hair that's healthy and put together. This is one of those products that definitely makes styling my natural texture feel absolutely effortless.
