No-crunch curl routines are essential for anyone wondering how to get soft feeling curls without sacrificing definition or hold. Our got2b curled® line is formulated to deliver definition and frizz control, leaving you with curls that don’t feel crunchy.
Whether you have type 2, 3, or 4 curls, we have products that you can build your routine around.
Crunchy curls are one of the most common frustrations in the curly hair community. The crunch typically happens when styling products dry into a stiff cast around each curl — which is actually a normal part of the styling process. The key is choosing products and techniques that allow that cast to soften once your curls are fully dry, leaving you with definition without the stiffness.
So, how do you get soft feeling curls? Hydrate your hair, choose products strategically, and look for formulas that are designed to soften the look and feel of curls once they dry.
With so many curl products on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. A no-crunch curl routine is all about using the right products in the right order — each step building on the last to work toward definition and hold without the crunch.
The got2b curled® line has the building blocks of that routine — whatever your curl type.
Our got2b curled® Detangler is designed for wavy, curly, and coily hair. It makes the first curl step of a curl routine quick and easy.
The lightweight leave-in formula absorbs quickly, leaves the hair feeling hydrated, and helps prepare your curls for controllable definition. It's formulated with aloe vera, vitamin E, and argan oil, and it makes hair up to 5x more resistant to breakage on damaged versus untreated hair.
How to use it:
- Apply evenly to clean, damp hair from roots to ends
- Work through the tangles section by section
- Leave it in and move on to your next styling step
Formulated for type 3 and 4 hair, our got2b curled® Styling Cream boosts hydration and reduces frizz for 72 hours in high humidity conditions compared to untreated hair, so you can style your curls without the crunch. If you've been wondering how to make 4C hair feel soft without weighing it down, this is a great place to start.
The formula features argan oil, aloe vera, and Vitamin E with no isopropyl alcohol or ethanol.
How to use it:
- Apply to damp curls right after detangling
- Work section by section using your usual technique
- Air dry or diffuse for defined results
The got2b curled® Flexible Curl Foam delivers controllable definition with a touchable, lightweight hold and soft feeling finish, making it a natural fit for a no-crunch routine. It helps control frizz with minimal buildup potential and helps protect against heat styling damage, making it a great choice if diffusing is part of your routine. It's designed for type 2 and 3 curls.
The key to no-crunch curls at this step is simple: once you've applied the Foam, leave your curls completely undisturbed until they're fully dry. Touching them too soon breaks the curl pattern and causes frizz.
How to use it:
- Pump into your palms and apply to damp hair
- Scrunch upward to define curls
- Air dry or diffuse
The final step in a no-crunch routine is a finishing oil that seals in the moisture and leaves your style feeling soft and touchable rather than stiff or brittle — especially if you have type 3 or 4 curls.
The got2b curled® Hair Spray Oil reduces breakage caused by styling by 53% on damaged hair compared to untreated hair and delivers 71.5% more shine versus untreated hair. It provides 72-hour frizz control and humidity lock out, and it also provides protection against heat damage.
How to use it:
- Massage through your hair and into your scalp
- On non-wash days, apply to dry hair and scalp to maintain moisture and refresh shine
- Apply before heat styling for added protection
Here's how to get soft feeling curls with these four products for the best results on wash day:
- Detangle: Apply the Detangler to clean, damp hair and work through section by section to protect the strands.
- Define: Apply the Styling Cream or Flexible Curl Foam to each section while your hair is still damp, scrunching upward for curl definition and hold.
- Seal: Once fully dry, apply the Hair Spray Oil to lock in moisture and add shine.
Follow this sequence to give your curls everything they need to dry with definition and shape. They should soften into touchable, no-crunch curls once they're fully dry.
