Overview
Curly haired stylers who want defined, frizz resistant curls get a buildable gelee that forms a cast and seals in moisture. Apply with praying hands or glazing on wet hair, then air dry or diffuse.
Strong definition and humidity resistance help curls hold their shape for days. The cast it forms needs scrunching out when dry, and hold level is not stated.
Who it's for
People with curls who struggle with frizz and loose definition get a sealing gel that locks in shape. Those who dislike any crunch while drying should choose a cream.

Performance notes
Definition comes from the gel forming a cast that holds curls in shape while they dry. Plopping first removes excess water, which gives a firmer cast. Scrunching out the cast once dry softens the result.
