Overview

Not a curl definer, this Paul Mitchell gel smooths textured hair toward a straighter, sleeker look while adding softness and shine. It is vegan and color safe, with a bright citrus scent.

Smoothing with softness rather than crunch is the reason to buy for frizzy hair. The listing does not state hold level or how to use it with heat tools.

Who it's for

People who blow-dry or flat iron textured hair and want a softer, shinier finish get a smoothing gel. Those who wear their curls natural should look at a curl defining product.

Performance notes

The gel coats strands to flatten the cuticle and weigh down frizz, which helps hair lie straighter and reflect more light. Results depend on styling method, since the listing gives no heat or blow-dry guidance.
