Damp, humid weather? No Problem!
This anti-frizz line of products works amazingly! Yesterday, the first time I used these products after purchasing them, tropical storm Ophelia was making super-wet weather. We were going out for the evening, and my hair was looking good, with defined, bouncy, and soft curls. Then I was rained on in...

This would be better if it had a stronger hold
My daughter and I smelled this in store and said we had to try it. Unfortunately, the smell overhyped us on the product. My daughter has corkscrew curls, while I have big waves. She said she prefers the shape up aqua gel for her curls, as it gives her a much better hold for her curls to last long...

The best curly girl product I have used
Favorite product
I have very loose curls and waves. The hair at my crown is dryer than underneath and doesnt curl as well. With this product their is very little difference in curl texture/pattern because it brings out the curl so well. This one takes the place of wny curl cream/mousse or gel combo. It adds moisture without weighing down hair. 10/10.
Changed the formula and it's terrible now!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've purchased this product several times and loved it, my son also loved it and had started to use it too. I bought 4 bottles last month to make sure we had enough for both of us and the product formula changed and is terrible now. I would not recommend!
My current HG gel (3A/B curls)
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I can't figure out what the issue is that people have with this gel!! I LOVE it!!! This and Hyrdo Style Flexi Jelly are my 2 top gels from Curlsmith. I tend to use this one on humid/rainy days, as it has a bit more hold for me than Flexi Jelly does. I like to use the Feather Light Protein Cream underneath both gels, mainly because my curls love protein and it's light enough that - unlike most other creams - it doesn't weigh my curls down. I use a lot of this gel - like a palm full - every time I use it. But I'm like that with most gels because I like excellent, all-day definition. I like shiny, bouncy, non-crunchy curls with lots of definition, and I get that with Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer. I am not crazy about the other matching products in this line. But I do LOVE this gel.
