Corn starch in the hair is an old Brazilian kitchen remedy – grandmothers were mixing it into home masks long before anyone bottled it, because it leaves hair smooth, shiny and calm without weighing it down. Amidinho de Milho is Skala’s version of that remedy, done properly: corn starch, D-panthenol and flaxseed oil in a kilo of 2-in-1 cream that works as a moisturising treatment in the shower and a combing cream afterwards.
Why you will love this corn starch cream
It is lighter than the oil-heavy tubs, which is exactly why people keep going back to it. The corn starch smooths the outer layer of the hair so the frizz lies down and the light bounces off it, flaxseed oil brings the softness without the grease, and D-panthenol holds the moisture in. The result is hair that feels clean and moves freely rather than coated – the shine is real rather than a film sitting on top.

What it does
Frizz is what you see when the outer layer of the hair is lifted and rough. Corn starch works by smoothing that layer flat, which is why the old kitchen version worked at all – and why this one leaves the hair looking polished rather than just softened. Used weekly in the shower it keeps the hair hydrated; used as a combing cream it keeps the frizz down through the day and makes the hair easier to brush and style.
Who it is for
- Frizzy hair that needs smoothing rather than more oil
- Fine or medium hair that heavier butters and oils weigh down
- Dull hair that has lost its shine
- Anyone following a Curly Girl routine or the Brazilian hair schedule
- Families who want one big tub that suits everyone’s hair
How to use it
As a moisturising cream: apply to washed, damp hair, work it along the lengths, leave for 3 minutes and rinse. As a combing cream: take a small amount, spread it through damp or dry hair away from the roots, comb it through and do not rinse, then style as usual. External use only, and keep the tub somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
