Bounce Curl Hydra-Lite Styling Cream

A weightless styling cream that provides soft definition with light to medium hold.

What it is: A 4-in-1, weightless cream–gel hybrid that defines and hydrates wavy, curly, and coily hair with touchable, medium hold—your effortless one-and-done styler.

Performance-backed benefits: With Volunix Bio-Actives™, it helps lock in moisture, reduce frizz for up to 72 hours, reduce hair breakage, and deliver weightless lift for smooth hair.

Ritual-inspired botanicals: Rooted in Mesopotamian beauty rituals, this formula blends Rosemary, Nettle, and Sage to honor ancestral hair wisdom while supporting modern hydration and softness.
