Curly hair requires the appropriate styling gel in order to remain smooth and sleek, but not all gels are created equal; some work better at dabbing baby flyaway hairs while others can tame and hold curls better. Trial-and-error is key in discovering which gel best fits your hair texture, needs, and desired hairstyle goals.
This gel provides a crunch-free finish for curly natural hair. Formulated with keratin extracts that strengthen curl pattern and rice extracts to increase elasticity, as well as fair trade shea butter to control frizz and provide moisture, this product works best when used alongside leave-in conditioner or styling cream to hydrate and support style. Ideal for creating wash and go styles, braid-outs, or twist-outs!
To achieve a perfect gel cast, it is crucial that your hair be styled while it is damp. Once styled, apply generous amounts of gel. Ideally apply it while strands are still damp – add moisture by using leave-in conditioners or curl enhancers prior to applying the gel cast. Next, either diffuse or air dry your hair until it is completely dry, and use a hair oil if necessary to break up the gel cast. Some recommended options for curls include OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist; Avlon KeraCare Oil Sheen with Humidity Block; Redken Frizz Dismiss Anti-static Oil Spray or Evo Love Touch Shine Spray are some of the top products on the market.
