Overview
People with medium to coarse curls get a strong hold gel from Marc Anthony that defines without crunch. Shea butter and castor, coconut and flaxseed oils soften the cast while it holds curl shape.
High hold that still moves is the clear draw for wash-and-go styles, slick ponytails and braid-outs. Rich oils that soften the cast can weigh down fine waves.
Who it's for
Thick curls, humid climates and slicked buns suit this gel. People with fine hair who need light hold should choose a mousse or cream.
Pros and cons
- Strong hold without crunch
- Moisturizing butters and oils
- Works for slick styles and braid-outs
- Long free-from list
- Heavy for fine waves
- Needs scrunching to break cast
Performance notes
The gel forms a flexible cast over each curl as it dries, which locks the curl pattern in place. Oils and shea butter soften that cast so it scrunches out to touchable, bouncy curls.
