Overview
Raking this gel through clean, wet hair in small sections coats curls with babassu oil and a flexible hold that defines the pattern, fights frizz and dries soft rather than crunchy.
Definition with a touchable finish across every curl type is why it suits wash-and-gos and braid-outs. Results depend on leaving hair alone until fully dry.
Who it's for
Wash-and-gos, braid-outs, buns and laid edges are all listed uses. Those who touch their hair while drying will lose definition.
Pros and cons
- Soft hold without crunch
- Works on waves through coils
- Size not in the listing details
- Must dry untouched
- Hold may be soft for some styles
Performance notes
Definition sets as the gel dries around clumped curls, so touching before dry breaks the clumps and adds frizz. Diffusing speeds drying without disturbing them.
