Will this balm make my hair feel greasy?
No. Velveteen Dream is designed to be a lightweight balm. As long as you start with a small amount and focus on the mid-lengths to ends, it will absorb into the hair fibre to provide smoothness without an oily finish.
Can I use this on curly hair?
Absolutely! It is excellent for curly hair types who want to smooth out their curls into a blowout or simply want to reduce frizz while air-drying for a more defined, soft curl.
Does this replace my heat protectant?
Yes! Velveteen Dream provides thermal protection up to 450°F (232°C), so you do not need to layer an additional heat spray unless your hair is extremely damaged and requires extra support.
