Reviews
Strong gel
"This is honestly a really good gel. I have 3C curls with medium porosity and medium-density hair, and it works really well for me. I used a leave-in conditioner first and then styled with this gel, and the results were amazing. The hold lasted well, and depending on your preference, you may not even need to refresh your curls. I only refreshed mine once or twice, and even then it didn't need much. The cast is quite strong, but it's easy to scrunch it out with a little oil. Overall, I really love this gel, it's definitely become my favourite!"
I keep buying it bottle after bottle
"Great gel for my wavy hair, I didn't find anything that gives me the same results. Frizz controlled, curls defined and soft, not so strong cast... I can truly feel the difference when I don't use it. I'll keep buying it."
Extremely strong hold!
"I loved how this product made my hair feel. Not many products can keep my curls curly for days - they usually let down after day 1. But this product made all the difference and I'll be sure to buy it again. Tip: don't use too much of it - less is better."
Amazing hair gel
"Second time buying this gel and it’s hands-down the best gel I've tried. Its hold is very strong which I enjoy. No frizz and no cast if you add an oil after drying. 100% recommend."
Great curls, just a bit to heavy for fine hair
"The texture is great and it gave me great curls on wash day. Unfortunately, just a bit too heavy for my very fine hair so the following day, my hair was not great. I'm experimenting with other Curlsmith products though as do far, I really like them but just trying to fine out which ones my hair really likes!"
Strong brilliant hold gel
"Good definition for my curls as they tend to frizz in hot weather"
Strong cast but not as strong hold!
"Super strong cast but didn’t feel the hold was necessarily as good as some other gels i’ve used, and doesn’t feel like it’ll last more than a couple of days. my hair didn’t have much movement even after i scrunched the gel out. also was quite flakey but could be the curl cream i used with it."
Love this gel! It has
"Love this gel! It has a good hold, without feeling sticky or crunchy, and really helps define my type 3c curls. You don't need a lot, and doesn't seem to weigh hair down, which is great when you have fine curls!"
Just magic and easy

Q&A
- When I use this gel I get small patches that are still sticky even when my hair is dry and I’ve scrunched all the crunch. I presume this is due to product distribution when styling, is there anything I can do to get rid of these sticky patches without completely rewashing?
- Yes, this product will likely be due to product distribution when applying. If you make sure you apply this gel to your hair when it is soaking wet, and apply in sections, you should avoid sticky patches. To get rid of any stickiness, you can spritz or wet your hair with water and redo the sections.
- Hi can use this in summer still because of the glycerin in the first line of the ingredients if not is there a glycerin free hard hold gel thank you 😊
- Yes, you can still use the In-Shower Style Fixer which contains glycerin. It's an extreme strong hold styling gel that provides long-lasting definition, humidity protection and shine for all curls.
