Why Hermanas Love This Duo
Two clean formulas, one ritual. Built by Cory + Nicol after years of trying every curl product on the market — and finally making the one their own curls deserved.
Defines and Moisturizes — the cream lays the hydration base, the gel locks the curl
Manages Frizz — flaxseed, marula and mango butter shield curls in humidity
No Crunch Curls — soft, touchable hold that lasts multiple wash days
Heat Protection up to 350°F — safe under diffusers, dryers and blow-outs

The Curl Promise
Curls don't fail. Products do. Most stylers crunch the curl, weigh it down, or leave flake. Our cream + gel duo was formulated by Cory and Nicol over five years — clean ingredients, Caribbean-native botanicals, and zero compromises from our Nada List.
How This Helps
The Hydrating Curl Cream delivers moisture and heat protection up to 350°F with marula oil and mango butter. The Curl Defining Styling Gel locks in shape with flaxseed and hibiscus for a soft, anti-crunch hold that lasts multiple wash days — even in humidity.
Hibiscus, mango butter, marula oil, and flaxseed — the four hero ingredients that do the hydration, definition, and anti-frizz work that synthetic stylers can’t.

Claro Ingredients:
Marula Oil & Mango Butter
Used to support: Lasting Moisture, Shine, Heat Protection
Caribbean-native marula oil and mango butter deliver lightweight moisture, anti-frizz shine, and heat protection up to 350°F — the hydration base that lets curls hold definition all wash week.
▲
Quinoa & Soy Proteins
Used to support: Strength, Breakage Protection
Plant proteins strengthen the hair shaft and protect curls from breakage during styling, diffusing, and daily handling — without protein overload that leaves curls stiff.
▲
Hibiscus & Rosemary Extracts
Used to support: Slip, Shine, Scalp Health
Hibiscus — inspired by our island — adds slip and natural shine, while rosemary extract supports scalp circulation, the foundation every healthy curl starts from.
▲
Flaxseed Extract & Aloe Vera
Used to support: Soft Hold, Definition, No Crunch
Flaxseed is the hero of the gel — it creates a soft, flexible hold with touchable definition. Aloe vera soothes and hydrates so curls stay defined without flake or buildup.

The Nada List
What's NOT inside: Sulfates, Parabens, Phthalates, Synthetic Fragrance, Silicones
The Nada List is a living inventory of ingredients Cory + Nicol refuse to formulate with. Every drop is vegan, cruelty-free, and clean enough to share with your daughter on her wash day.
This product leaves my hair with great shine and looking healthy and they smell amazing! Totally recommend.

Amazing products and fast shipping
My order was shipped the same day I ordered. Love the gel and the creme, keeps my curls so soft, defined and not at all frizzy. I just mix the two products together and apply to my soaking wet hair and get perfect results every time. I will always recommend these products to anyone with curly hair :)

Amazing
This bundle is a miracle worker. First of all its the first that doesn't irritate my scalp. It defines and moisturizes my curls. It doesn't cause flaking. My curls are bouncy and lasts me for a week. Love them and will keep repurchasing.

Love these products
I have fine hair that wants to curl but is easily weighed down with heavy gels or too much conditioner to detangle the fine strands. This curl definition conditioner does not weigh down the curls nor does the gel! I can use either or both depending on how much hold I need each day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product
Shipping
Other
What hair types is this duo for? ▲
Designed for 2A–4A curl patterns — wavy, curly, and coily textures. The Hydrating Curl Cream works as a leave-in for finer curls (2A–3B); the Defining Gel layers on top for medium-to-tight patterns (3B–4A) that need more hold. Mix-and-match based on humidity and how much definition you want that day.
How is this duo different from other curl creams and gels? ▲
Three things. First, the Nada List — no sulfates, silicones, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, or coconut oil. Second, Caribbean-native botanicals (hibiscus, marula, mango butter) chosen because they were grown in the climate Dominican curls were built for. Third, every formula was personally tested and signed off by Cory and Nicol — two Dominican sisters who built this brand because nothing else worked for their own curls.
Will the gel make my curls crunchy? ▲
No — that’s the whole point of the formula. Flaxseed extract creates a flexible hold that defines without locking the curl into a hard cast. Scrunch out the cream coat after diffusing and you get soft, touchable definition that lasts multiple wash days. If your last styler left flake or crunch, the duo was built specifically to fix that.
