Our verdict

A soft hold curl gel multipack for wavy to coily hair that wants definition without crunch. Hold is gentle, so tight sculpted styles or slick edges may need a firmer gel.

Overview

A humid summer bathroom is where this Garnier Fructis Curl Control gel earns its place, holding curls against frizz with film forming polymers. You rake or prayer-hand it through damp hair, dry, then scrunch out the cast for soft hold.

Definition with movement is what it delivers, since the cream-gel hybrid conditions as it sets. Lighter hold means very thick or long coils may lose shape sooner than with a strong gel.

Who it's for

Wash day curl routines get frizz control and a soft finish with no flaking. Those styling tight updos or wanting a hard cast that lasts days should choose a stronger gel.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Soft hold, no crunch after scrunch
  • Fights humidity frizz
  • Coconut water and shea butter
  • No build up or flaking
Cons
  • Hold may be light for coarse coils
  • Needs scrunching to break the cast
  • Packaging may vary

Performance notes

Film forming polymers wrap each curl as it dries, which is what resists humidity and holds the shape. Applying to damp hair and drying without touching sets the cast, and scrunching after breaks it into softness. Water mist and a re-scrunch reactivate the curls on day two.
