If you've ever stood in the hair care aisle trying to figure out whether to grab a gel or a cream, you're not alone. Most parents just pick one and hope for the best — which is how you end up with crunchy curls or a style that falls flat by noon.
Here's how they actually work, and how to use them together if you want the best of both.
What Taming Cream does
Our Taming Cream is a moisturizing styling cream, made with coconut and jojoba oils. Its main job is to smooth the hair shaft, add softness, and keep frizz under control throughout the day. It works by coating the hair with a lightweight layer that locks in moisture and keeps humidity out.
It's best for kids who need frizz control or curl definition without hold — so the hair looks polished but still moves naturally. It's also a great everyday option for babies and toddlers whose hair is still fine and developing.
What Taming Gel does
Our Taming Gel is an alcohol-free styling gel that gives a medium hold for hairstyles that need to last. Think ponytails, buns, braids, or styles for picture day. It tames the edges, controls flyaways, and keeps the shape of the style from morning until end of day.
Because it's alcohol-free, it won't dry out or flake — one of the most common complaints about traditional hair gels used on kids.
When to use both
The combination that a lot of parents love: apply Taming Cream first on damp hair for moisture and smoothness, then follow with a small amount of Taming Gel on the edges and sections that need to hold. You get defined, frizz-free hair that actually stays in place.
