A cream-gel hybrid that gives curls gel hold with cream softness and fights frizz in humidity. It works on damp hair only per the directions, so it is less suited to dry-hair refreshes.

Overview
Rake a small amount of Garnier Fructis Curl Shine gel through damp curls, twist loosely and air dry or diffuse. Film-forming polymers and shea butter hold the shape and smooth frizz, while coconut water hydrates.
Getting firm hold without the crunch or flakes of ordinary gel is the gain for wavy, curly and coily hair. A strong formula means overuse can weigh down fine waves.
Who it's for
Wash-and-go routines for curls that lose shape in humid weather. People with very fine waves should use a small amount to avoid weighing them down.
Pros and cons
- Gel hold with cream softness
- Frizz control in humidity
- No greasy residue or flaking
- Coconut water and shea butter
- Heavy on fine waves if overused
- Directions cover damp hair only
- Scent not described
Performance notes
Film-forming polymers coat each curl and resist moisture from the air, which is what holds definition in humidity. Shea butter and conditioners keep the cast soft. Twisting curls before drying increases definition.
