Redken Hydrating Curl Cream 250ml
Redken Hydrating Curl Cream is a lightweight, moisturizing styling cream designed to hydrate, define and soften wavy, curly and coily hair while helping control frizz and improve manageability. Its light hold helps enhance the natural shape of curls without leaving them feeling heavy or stiff.
Formulated with Squalane and Jojoba Oil, this curl-defining cream helps support moisture retention, shine and smoother-looking curls. It also provides heat protection up to 450°F/230°C, making it a practical step before heat styling or diffusing.
Designed for curls that feel dry, dehydrated, frizzy or difficult to manage, the formula provides up to 72-hour curl definition and hydration while helping hair remain soft, flexible and naturally bouncy.
What is Redken Hydrating Curl Cream used for?
This curl cream is designed to provide moisture, definition and light hold to wavy, curly and coily hair. It helps make curls easier to detangle and style while reducing the appearance of frizz.
Unlike heavier styling creams, its lightweight texture is designed to moisturize without unnecessarily weighing down the curl pattern. It can be used as part of a wash-day styling routine or reapplied to dry hair when curls need additional moisture and definition.

The technology: Squalane & Jojoba Oil
The formula combines moisturizing and styling ingredients with Squalane and Jojoba Oil, selected to support the appearance and manageability of curly and coily hair.
Squalane
Squalane is known as a protective agent on the surface of the hair fibre that helps hold moisture in and on the hair fibre.
Because curly and coily hair can often feel dry or lose moisture more easily, ingredients that support moisture retention can help curls feel softer and more manageable. In this formula, Squalane contributes to a more conditioned feel while supporting curl definition.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil is known to lightly coat the hair fibre, helping provide shine and anti-frizz benefits without creating a greasy sensation.
Together, Squalane and Jojoba Oil complement the moisturizing and styling properties of the cream, helping curls look more defined, smooth and healthy while maintaining natural movement.
A moisturizing formula for defined, manageable curls
In addition to Squalane and Jojoba Oil, the formula contains ingredients such as Glycerin, a humectant commonly used in haircare to help attract and retain moisture, as well as conditioning agents that contribute to softness and easier detangling.
The formula also contains Avocado Oil, Camelina Sativa Seed Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil, which complement the conditioning profile of the product.

How to use Redken Hydrating Curl Cream
For best results, apply the cream to damp hair after cleansing and conditioning.
- Apply a suitable amount of Hydrating Curl Cream to the palms of your hands.
- Rub your hands together to distribute the product.
- Apply evenly through damp hair in sections, working from the lengths towards the ends.
- Gently work the product through the hair to help with detangling and curl formation.
- Style as desired.
For additional definition and hold, follow with Redken Sculpting Curl Gel.
Use it on dry hair too
Hydrating Curl Cream can also be reapplied to dry hair when curls need a quick boost. Apply a small amount to help tame frizz, reactivate curl definition and restore a moisturized feel between washes.
If using heat, the cream provides heat protection up to 450°F/230°C, making it suitable as part of a styling routine involving a diffuser or other heat styling tools.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Build your complete curly and coily hair routine
For a complete routine, combine Hydrating Curl Cream with complementary Redken products designed for curly and coily hair.
- Cleanse: Begin with Acidic Bonding Curls Silicone-Free Shampoo to cleanse the hair and prepare the curls for conditioning and styling.
- Condition: Follow with the Acidic Bonding Curls Silicone-Free Conditioner to help condition, soften and detangle the hair.
- Hydrate & Define: Apply Hydrating Curl Cream to damp hair to provide moisture, light hold and curl definition while helping control frizz.
- Sculpt & Hold: For stronger, longer-lasting definition, layer Sculpting Curl Gel over the cream. This combination can help create more structured curls while maintaining movement and avoiding a stiff, crunchy finish.
- Refresh: Between washes, use Refreshing Curl Mist to rehydrate and reactivate curls that have become less defined, dry or frizzy.
