Description

A weightless, highly absorbent curl defining lotion for long or fine wavy and curly hair — Sesame Seed Oil nourishes, Ginkgo Biloba protects and supports scalp circulation, and botanical oils deliver flexible hold and natural-looking shine.

The Moda Team Review

Motion Lotion sits in the fine-and-longer curly hair category — a lotion rather than a cream, which is what fine wavy hair needs to get curl definition without weight. The formula is highly absorbent, meaning it disappears into the hair shaft rather than sitting on the surface. Sesame Seed Oil delivers essential nourishment to the hair and scalp. Bergamot Oil balances the scalp. Geranium Flower Oil adds shine and manageability. Patchouli Oil provides anti-ageing benefit and flexibility. Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract brings free radical protection and supports scalp circulation to encourage healthy hair regeneration.

Apply to damp hair, scrunch into ends and mid-lengths, twirl sections to encourage curl pattern, then air-dry or diffuse. The flexible hold keeps curl definition without hardness.

Key Active Ingredients

  • Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil: Delivers essential nourishment to the hair and scalp.
  • Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract: Provides free radical protection and anti-inflammatory benefits; supports scalp circulation to help regenerate hair and promote a healthier scalp.
  • Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil: Renowned for its refreshing aroma; assists in balancing the hair and scalp.
  • Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil: Provides shine and manageability.
  • Pogostemon Cablin (Patchouli) Oil: Anti-ageing benefits; balances the scalp and adds flexibility to the style.

How To Use

  1. Apply to damp hair.
  2. Scrunch into ends and mid-lengths.
  3. Twirl sections to encourage the curl pattern.
  4. Air-dry or diffuse.
COMMON QUESTIONS

Product FAQ

Yes — Motion Lotion is a liquid lotion that absorbs completely into the hair, making it the lighter option. Killer Twirls is a crème with Shea Butter that has more weight and conditioning. For very fine wavy hair, Motion Lotion. For all wave textures including fine, Killer Twirls used sparingly. Both work on wavy hair; the choice is based on density and how much product the hair can handle.
Yes — it works on thick curly hair as a lightweight first layer before a heavier styler. Kevin Murphy positions it for long or fine hair primarily, but on thick curly hair it can be used as the base layer with Killer Curls cream on top for a complete curl routine.
Yes — for fine and looser wave patterns, the flexible hold from the VP/VA Copolymer in the formula provides day-long definition. For tighter curl patterns that need stronger hold, layer Motion Lotion with a heavier styler like Killer Curls cream for more lasting shape.
No — Motion Lotion is a curl defining lotion, not a dedicated heat protectant. For diffusing or heat styling, add Killer Curls cream (heat protection to 216°C) or Heated Defense (to 232°C) to the routine. Motion Lotion on its own is best suited to air-drying.
Yes — different delivery and purpose. Killer Waves is an invisible spray designed to be completely undetectable in the hair, primarily for frizz reduction and wave enhancement. Motion Lotion is a lotion with more styling hold and botanical oil benefits from Sesame, Bergamot, Geranium and Patchouli. For the lightest, most invisible touch on fine waves, Killer Waves. For more defined styling hold with nourishing botanicals, Motion Lotion.
