Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. Curlsmith's Shape Up Aqua Gel is a protein-enriched styling gel that provides light hold and weightless definition for all curl types.
Benefits
- Defines curls without compromising on volume or weighing the hair down
- Flexible, light and bouncy results
- Enriched with proteins at low dosage, it can be used frequently without the risk of protein overload
- Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to strengthen and protect the hair against damage. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use
- Light hold (5/10), it creates very little crunchy cast around the hair while drying
- The "cast" is key to trap moisture, keep frizz at bay and enhance definition, but the crunchy feeling is only temporary; once curls are completely dry you just need to gently "scrunch" your hair upwards to break the cast and reveal soft, defined results
- Incredibly lightweight water-based texture easily spreads through the hair, coating it evenly
- Vegan, cruelty free, clean ingredients and curly girl friendly (no sulfates, silicones or drying alcohols)
- Designed for all curls and texture types
Key Ingredients
- Powerful patented active that targets and fortifies internal hair structure (hair bonds)
- Hemp Seed & Rice Protein complex, completely plant-based alternative to animal keratin that helps the hair look stronger and more elastic
- Blend of nutrient-rich superfoods (Prickly Pear, Kale, Guava, Shiitake Mushroom, Blackcurrant and Pumpkin Seeds)
Apply to soaking wet hair. For extra moisture, prime your hair with your favorite Curlsmith leave-in. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands. Use the 'praying hands' method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Scrunch to encourage curl formation, then air dry or diffuse.

How To Use
Step 1
Rub the product between your hands and apply on soaking wet hair with the “praying hands” method, smoothing from top to ends.
Step 2
Flip your head upside down and scrunch gently with upwards motions to encourage curl to spring back and form their pattern.
Step 3
Air dry or diffuse. Make sure you flip your head in all directions while drying to increase volume. Do not touch hair while drying.
Step 4
Once completely dry, scrunch again to 'break the cast', the crunchy feeling gels greate, and make your hair super soft and bouncy.
Before & After
How to get the best from your curls

Hold and Film-Forming
I have used so many gels over the past 15 years, and I have "made do" with a lot of them. I have a favorite natural gel (film-former) that I have been using for a long time and I will never give that up. However, it only gives me about 3 days worth of hold, if that. I have been searching for an all-...

It depends
This did not have enough hold for my medium to fine, low density 2b-3a hair. It felt like a liquid serum good for adding moistures and assisting in smoothing the hair during styling. Might be good for a tighter curl pattern that likes a smoothing effect or perhaps doesn't want a lot of volume. I fou...

Left my hair dry.
I thought my hair was frizzy before I used this product. This left my hair dry and brittle and very fuzzy. I've used this brand before and was impressed, this one not so much. Will return
Just not for me
Tried it for a variety of applications and felt like it missed the mark on all. Frizzy and undefined curls, sticky weird blowout that made my untouchable hair move as one unit… love my shampoo and conditioner but hard pass on this gel.
Yes I would be again

Works great
Nice and light
Hair Type Straight Hair
I used to use BioSilk hair glaze gel for the hold in the hair. This product is the closes to it. Soft shine with a light weight styling effect on the hair.
In love
This gel is the best, hands down. It's a little thin and runny but works very well on fine and medium density curls. Smell is fresh, and it makes really great "seaweed" curl clumps. Not sticky, and it doesnt flake once your hair is dry. The only reason it gets 4 stars s d not 5 is the price.
