Our verdict

A curl defining gel with lasting but soft hold that tames frizz without crunch. The berry scent is strong, which not everyone will like.

Overview

Not a stiff, crunchy gel, Herbal Essences Totally Twisted defines curls with a flexible, touchable hold. You scrunch it into curly or wavy hair, then air dry or diffuse while it tames frizz and flyaways.

Herbal Essences gives curly and wavy hair lasting definition without the hard cast many gels leave. The berry and vanilla fragrance is bold, so scent sensitive users may want to sniff first.

Who it's for

Natural curl and wave patterns that frizz and lose shape by midday suit this gel. People who want slicked back or strong set styles should look at a firmer product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Defines curls without crunch
  • Tames frizz and flyaways
  • Works with diffusing or air drying
  • Travel friendly tubes
Cons
  • Strong berry fragrance
  • Medium hold only
  • Not for straight hair styles

Performance notes

Gel forms a flexible film that holds each curl clump together as it dries, which is what gives definition. Scrunching into wet hair and not touching it until dry gives the most defined result.
