Overview
Scrunching Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly into wet hair forms a frizz-fighting cast that dries to defined, glossy curls. Once dry, scrunching out the cast leaves soft, bouncy curls without stiffness.
Glossy definition with no lasting crunch is why curly routines keep it. Medium hold may not be enough for very humid climates or tight, structured styles.
Who it's for
Wash-and-go curl routines from waves to coils suit a cast-forming jelly. Straight hair seeking volume should look at a mousse.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
The jelly dries into a light cast that holds curl clumps together and blocks frizz. Scrunching once fully dry breaks the cast and leaves soft, defined curls.
