"A gel that holds without the crunch? Yes, please! Hydrating Curl Gel helps to keep curls defined, soft, and bouncy while locking in hydration. A total must-have for happy, free-flowing curls!"
1. Start Fresh
Apply to clean, damp hair. Blot out excess moisture with a cotton t-shirt (it’s gentler than a towel!). Use alone or layer over Light Curl Crème. Dose wisely - start with ½ to 1 tsp, adjusting as needed.
2. Distribute Like a Pro
Rake it through, scrunch it in ‘90s style, or smooth with prayer hands (sandwich hair between both hands and glide from roots to ends). Or mix it up - whatever works for you!
3. Style & Set
Part and style as you like. Let hair air dry, or speed things up with a diffuser or hood dryer. Hands off until fully dry!
Scrunch & Shine
If a light cast forms, simply scrunch with dry hands to reveal soft, bouncy curls with hold. Voila!
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Vegetable glycerine, PVP VA 63, Carbomer, Polyquaternium-7, Sorbitol, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract, Phenethyl alcohol (naturally derived), Sodium PCA, Potassium Hydroxide
No harsh alcohols, silicones or synethtics!
The below product recommendations are based on hair texture, not the amount of hair you have. Hair strands vary in texture and thickness.
Note too, summer products can change between seasons – so in winter it may be necessary to move from Climate Control Hair Gel to Hydrating Curl Gel.
Basics for straight to wavy fine hair
Shampoo, Hair cleanser and Light Curl Créme, Hydrating Curl Gel.
Basics for fine curly to very curly hair
Hair Cleanser, Conditioner, and Climate Control Hair Gel. It is also a good idea to use the shampoo every 2-3 weeks.
Basics for Coils fine hair
Hair Cleanser, Conditioner, Light Curl Créme and Climate Control Hair Gel.
Basics for medium to thick wavy hair
Hair Cleanser, Conditioner, Climate Control Hair Gel and Hair Oil.
Basics for medium to thick curly hair
Hair Cleanser, Deep Conditioning Hair Masque, Climate Control Hair Gel and Hair Oil.
Basics for medium to thick coils hair
Hair Cleanser, Conditioner, Deep Conditioning Hair Masque (monthly), Climate Control Hair Gel.
Basics for coarse hair, any texture, straight to coily
Hair Cleanser, Deep Conditioning Hair Masque, Hair oil, and for those who need product to style - Climate Control Hair Gel.
Please note, Climate Control Hair Gel needs lots of water, both in hair and a little on hand, so it's a great idea to put the styling product on in the shower. People that have a lot of hair (that is, lots of strands - heavy hair) will get best results when putting it on soaking wet hair as it means better hydration and better clumps of curls.
