CURLSMITH In-Shower Style Fixer - Strong Hold Gel for Curls, Humidity-Proof Curl Styler, For All Curl Types, Vegan & Cruelty Free (2 oz)

The media could not be loaded. This is THE gel I’ve been looking for. It’s the only gel I’ve tried that not only creates a firm cast that lasts for days, but also adds definition as well. It has such a firm hold and keeps my waves and curls intact for days. I have 2C hair that ringlets at the end and other gels and mousses add hold this product creates SO much definition as well that I’ve never gotten from another gel. Couldn’t recommend more. My only issue is that I have incredibly sensitive skin and it makes my scalp a little itchy. That’s not the product’s fault, though, and I’ll continue to use it despite the itchiness because the results are worth it.

This gel was just too much for my hair. I tried so many times to make it work. I even used a watered down dime size amount on my entire head and it was still too much. I have fine hair and it’s low porosity so it just isn’t my thing. It arrived quickly, smelled nice and would probably be someone else’s holy grail I take no stars away. I got the mini to try, glad they have that option.UPDATE: Gave up on this product and was trying to to give it to a “curlier” friend, who asked “do you use it with a leave in?” I did not. I’m wavy so I avoid leave ins and creams but since it got brought up figured I’d try, guess what? It worked beautifully. I get the hype now and have ordered the full size. This product takes practice I will say that but if you can crack the code it’s amazing.

My hair dresser suggested me to get this gel for my curly hair. It works pretty good I also mix it with other gel I have called Curl and together I really like how it curls my hair.

After trying 20+ different products and mixing 4-5 products to get the results I wanted, I finally found the one and only winner! This product is amazing! You only need a very small amount, and I suggest diluting it with water. I finally have zero frizz, even after several days.This product has a hard hold, and is crunchy. It holds beautifully, and controls frizz better than any product I’ve used before. You can use this product right in the shower, without towel drying your hair.To keep your natural curl pattern, comb through your hair with your fingers, then apply this product while your hair is wet. Dry naturally for best results.Enjoy days of curly, frizz-free hair! Way to go, Curlsmith!

Defines curls nicely. A little goes a longgg way. Leaves a white cast sometimes on my dark brown hair. Doesn't diffuse into softer, more voluminous curls. It cause my hair to be very stiff.

My favorite gel! Nothing holds my flyaways down like this does! It tames the frizz all day! It’s super thick and sticky so a little goes a long way. Love the way it smells!

Note: I give one star based on my experience with this product. Everyone's hair is different so you may have better experience.My hair type is 2a/2b mix (mostly 2a), low porosity, not chemical or heat treated, hair strand type is medium-thick mix, and quite long (falls to my elbow). Hair is soft to the touch, but gets frizzy (curls and flyways) almost as soon as it dries/ exposed to humidity.I tried this product in different conditions (changing the shampoo, leave-in etc) and amounts, never saw any improvement. The only noticable change happened when I fiddled with the amount used, and that's described below.When I tried the recommended amount there was no cast to crunch. After drying it felt like each of my hair strand (note: strand, not lock) were covered in sticky mud (it didn't look bad, but felt really rough to the touch). And it was frizzier than ever.Then I tried with more product because I thought I'd need more because of my thick hair. Now there are was a cast, but it was not the type I could scrunch out. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but locks of my hair felt like they have been laminated/stuck together with glue. This product does "hold" the some curls I had, but only by being sticky, and not by locking in the moisture.The smell of the product is like some scented erasers I had used in school. As a child I liked that scent in pencil erasers, but not interested in my hair smelling like that. It's not a nauseating chemical smell, and it's not a herbal/natural smell. More like a sharp sweet smell. I would have tolerated it if the product worked for my hair. Still, if you are fragrance sensitive, better give this product a miss.

One of my go to gels for my wavy/curly hair. Great hold and can easily scrunch out the crunch after diffusing. I really haven’t met a Curlsmith product I don’t like, but the moisture collection is definitely my favorite.
