Routine step
Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
The step up from Killer Twirls for curl clients who need more shape and staying power. Structured definition without the crunch or buildup of a gel — Baobab Oil keeps the curl moisturised while the cream base holds it in place.
Read full stylist notes
The client with 3a to 3c curls who has tried every leave-in and found them too soft — her definition disappears by noon. Killer Curls cream gives her the hold structure leave-ins were not providing while Baobab Oil keeps her curls from feeling stiff. Kevin Murphy built the Killer Curls system to cover the full spectrum from fine wavy to dense coily. Killer Curls cream sits at the higher-hold end — more structure than Killer Twirls, less rigidity than a gel, with the ingredient quality the brand is built on.

What’s inside — and why it’s there
The ingredients worth knowing.
- Australian Fruit ExtractsAntioxidant botanicals that neutralise free radicals from UV and heat, protecting the curl fibre from oxidative stress during styling.
- Baobab Seed OilPenetrates the cortex to restore suppleness and prevent brittleness from manipulation.
- Aloe BarbadensisHigh in polysaccharides that retain water within the fibre, maintaining elasticity and preventing the dryness that causes frizz.
How to use
Use it the way we would.
- Apply to soaking wet hair section by section. Rake from root to tip then scrunch upward. Diffuse on medium heat holding the diffuser still, or air-dry completely without touching. Scrunch with dry palms once one hundred percent dry to release soft definition.
Moda stylist tipStill diffuser, medium heat, thirty seconds per section. Scrunch the dry cast with both palms pressed flat against the section — not fingertips. Two techniques, no extra product, completely different result.

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 is the difference between Killer Curls cream and Killer Twirls?
Hold and intent. Killer Twirls is a soft leave-in crème for air-dry routines wanting effortless definition. Killer Curls cream has more hold — better for diffused styles, coarser curl types or curls that need structured shape that lasts. You can layer both: Twirls first for moisture, cream over the top for hold.
Will Killer Curls cream leave a crunchy cast?
There will be a soft cast as it dries — that is how the definition sets. Once the hair is one hundred percent dry, scrunch sections firmly with dry palms to break the cast and release soft, defined curls. Scrunching too early prevents the cast from forming correctly.
Can I use Killer Curls cream on fine wavy hair?
Not ideally — the cream base is richer than fine wavy hair needs and may weigh the wave down. Killer Waves is formulated specifically for fine wavy hair and gives a lighter, more appropriate result.
How does Killer Curls cream work with diffusing?
Apply to soaking wet hair, rake through and scrunch. Diffuse on medium heat with the bowl held completely still over each section for thirty seconds — do not move the diffuser while it is in contact with the curl. Movement creates frizz.
Is Killer Curls cream colour-safe for chemically treated hair?
Yes — colour-safe and sulphate-free. Baobab Oil in the formula supports the elasticity and softness that chemical processing compromises, making it a good choice for colour-treated curly hair.
