Overview
Curly-haired people get a styling gel here that defines curls, controls frizz and adds shine without alcohol. Glycerin, coconut oil, hibiscus extract and flaxseed hydrate as it holds, and SheaMoisture says it leaves no flakes.
Hold plus hydration is the angle: a gel that sets curls through the day while glycerin and oils counter dryness. Hold strength is not rated in the listing, so anyone wanting a hard cast will have to judge it in use.
Who it's for
Wash-and-go curl wearers fighting frizz and dryness suit this gel. People with fine, straight hair wanting a sleek slick-back will find it aimed elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Defines curls and controls frizz
- Glycerin and coconut oil hydrate
- Free of parabens and mineral oils
- Fair trade shea butter sourcing
- Hold level not rated
- Fruity scent will not suit everyone
- Aimed mainly at curly hair
Performance notes
Glycerin draws moisture into the hair while the gel film holds each curl clump together as it dries, which is what limits frizz. Definition depends on how evenly the gel is spread through each section.
