Why Asian Stylists Recommend It
Korean and digital perms drop and frizz on heavy Asian hair between salon visits; a curl cream defines and softens the wave without the crunchy gel stiffness, giving the pattern something to hold.

Avoid if
Skip if your hair is straight, or you want firm, crunchy hold.
Why we recommend it
Grafen is a Korean brand, and its Curl Cream is made to define and soften waves and curls — including the digital and Korean perms a lot of diaspora clients bring from Asia. Worked into damp permed or wavy hair, it shapes the pattern and controls frizz with a soft, touchable finish, not the crunchy stiffness of a gel that makes Asian hair look stringy. On heavy hair that drops its curl fast, the cream gives the wave something to hold while keeping it natural. Scrunch it into towel-dried hair and let it air-dry or diffuse. It defines and moisturizes an existing curl or perm rather than creating curl on straight hair, and a little goes a long way on dense hair.
