Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
For clients who want curl definition without gel stiffness. Softer hold, natural finish, works well on wavy to loosely curly hair that doesn’t need the structure of a gel.
Read full stylist notes
The wavy-haired client who tried gels and found them too stiff. Curl Corps Cream gives definition without rigidity — curls that look intentional but feel like their own hair. Amika built Curl Corps around the recognition that curly hair needs different hold intensity options. The cream is the softer-hold entry point.

How to use
Use it the way we would.
- Apply to damp hair mid-lengths to ends. Scrunch upward to form curls. Air dry or diffuse on low heat. Scrunch out any crunch once dry.
Moda stylist tipApply to dripping wet hair and rake through before scrunching. Keep the diffuser still over each curl section rather than constantly moving it. Less movement = less frizz.

Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaWhat's the difference between the Curl Corps Cream and the Enhancing Gel?
Yes — the Cream is soft hold for looser waves and curls wanting natural definition without structure. The Gel is stronger hold for curlier patterns needing more definition and frizz control. Some clients layer both: Cream for moisture and softness, Gel on top for hold.
Will the Curl Corps Cream leave my curls crunchy?
No — Curl Corps Cream is a soft hold cream with no crunch. Apply to wet hair, scrunch in, and diffuse or air-dry. The result should be touchable, natural-looking curls with shape and definition.
Should I apply Curl Corps Cream to wet or damp hair?
Yes — soaking wet hair gives the best result. The cream distributes more evenly when hair is fully saturated and the curl pattern is defined before drying. Applying to damp or dry hair reduces definition.
Can I use Curl Corps Cream on wavy hair?
Yes — wavy hair responds well to the Cream's light hold and definition. For loose waves, apply lightly and scrunch to encourage the wave pattern. Gel may be unnecessary for looser waves.
Can I use Power Hour Spray to revive Curl Corps Cream curls on day 2?
Yes — Power Hour is specifically designed to reactivate the definition and moisture from Curl Corps products on day 2 and 3. Spray onto curls, scrunch, and allow to air-dry or diffuse briefly.
