Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Curl Enhancing Styling Foam
by Marc · other
Editor's Take
It earns its curl-enhancing name with firm, humidity-resistant hold, but the preservative package makes this feel like throwback drugstore chemistry.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.2 / 10
- Modern Tech: 4.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 1.3 / 10
- Sustainability: 5.9 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong: Acrylates Copolymers and Polyquaternium-11 should give curls reliable definition, retention, and frizz control. Clean is Poor, with Diazolidinyl Urea, fragrance allergens, and an aerosol polymer base creating the widest trade-off. Panthenol and Hydrolyzed Silk add smoothing support, but styling hold remains the main event. A credible pick for firm curl definition, not a modern clean-beauty foam.
