Description

This Is A Curl Building Serum

A leave-in curl serum for wavy, curly, and coily hair — builds defined, bouncy, shiny curls with Panthenol and VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer that block frizz and seal out humidity all day.

The Moda Team Review

The Curl Building Serum is for the client whose curls need more than a mousse can deliver — more definition, more hold, more humidity resistance. The VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer is a flexible-film polymer that wraps each curl and holds its shape while blocking moisture from outside disrupting it. Panthenol adds elasticity and shine to the curl surface, so the result is defined and bouncy rather than crunchy or stiff. It applies to damp hair, distributes easily, and works on its own or as a base under the Curl Mousse for maximum definition and volume.

The Winner InStyle Best Beauty Buys recognition reflects what we see at the chair: it genuinely outperforms most curl serums on hold and frizz resistance without the heaviness that many curl creams carry.

Key Active Ingredients

VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer — flexible film-forming polymer that defines curl shape and seals the cuticle against humidity penetration. The primary frizz-blocking and hold agent.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5) — adds elasticity and shine to the curl; keeps curls feeling soft rather than stiff through the hold.
Extreme Bounce Factor — three-dimensional resin structure for a defined, elastic curl result.

How To Use

Apply a small amount to damp hair before styling. Scrunch from ends to roots or rake through to distribute evenly. Diffuse or air-dry. Can be layered under the Curl Moisturizing Mousse for added volume and definition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Curl Building Serum a leave-in?
Yes — it is applied to damp hair and not rinsed out. Do not rinse.

What curl types is it best for?
Wavy (2A–2C) to curly (3A–3C) hair. For coily hair (4A+), it can work well as a base layer under a cream or the Curl Gel Oil.

Can I layer it with the Curl Mousse?
Yes — apply the Serum first to damp hair for definition and frizz resistance, then layer the Curl Moisturizing Mousse on top for added volume and body.

Will it make curls crunchy?
No — the Panthenol and Extreme Bounce Factor keep curls elastic and bouncy rather than stiff.

COMMON QUESTIONS

PRODUCT FAQ

Davines This Is A Curl Building Serum is best for your curls need definition, softness and frizz control. I would recommend it when curls that puff out, lose shape or need more support, and you want defined, soft, touchable curls.
It should not feel heavy when you use it where your hair actually needs it. If your hair is fine, start with less product and keep richer formulas away from the root unless the product is specifically for scalp or volume support.
Apply This Is A Curl Building Serum through damp mid-lengths and ends before styling. If your hair is fine, use less than you think and keep it away from the root. If your hair is thick or dry, add a little more through the areas that feel rough or frizzy.
Use it after the Davines wash and care routine that matches your hair. If the hair needs softness first, prep with OI All In One Milk; if it needs hold or texture, layer this as the final styling step.
