Curlsmith - In-Shower Style Fixer - Vegan Extreme Hold Styling Gel for Dry, Wavy, Curly or Coily Hair (59ml)

I don’t normally write reviews. But straight after the first use of this I’ve rushed to write one. I have high porosity, thick, corse curls that do not like to be tamed or defined and certainly have a mind of their own and do what they want regardless of how many gels or creams I apply.I bought the 59ml to try as I couldn’t justify the £24 bottle when most gels are useless on my hair.One use of this as directed straight from the shower with soaking wet hair; I thought “yeah right! My hair will look like a lions mane!” But oh my goodness!! My hair is soft, tamed and really defined. My curls are bouncy, the gel leaves no cast in the hair but an amazing hold and ZERO FRIZZ!!!!My curls have never looked better. 100% a new staple and holy grail for me.If you have thick and coarse curls I’d definitely recommend this product to you. I’m over the moon with my new find.

Strongest hold I've found. Definitely better in the shower to help emulisfy.

I would love to give 5 and I can’t give 4.5 unfortunately. I really really love this gel, I don’t know why I haven’t tried it before. I have very fine curly hair and in the last few months they have become quite soft and resistant to stylers. No gel I was using was working. I decided to try this one because it was recommended by two influencers with fine hair and it’s have to admit that I am in love! It rates the perfect amount of grit and the hold is wow! I have to admit at I don’t have patience for refresh but I’m sure it would work great. It also works with a bi of their hairspray on top w ugh lie at the beginning it was leaving my hair feeling sticky. It’s not a 5 simply because I’m not very fond of the wet look but, as I’m using this for t first time, I’m trying to understand if maybe I’m putting too much product and I have this effect as well as a bit of an oily finish. I don’t mind much because at least I have hold and grit now but it would be best for comfort as I have quite long hair

This product is so-so. I definitely think it holds the curl as it is supposed to but it does give that crunchy feel which I personally don’t like.I don’t think I will use the rest of the tube because I don’t like not being able to touch my hair or put my fingers through it. However, if you use gel and are used to the feeling it’s probably a good choice. I don’t feel like it brought out the natural waves in my hair like I’d hoped but I think if you had the right hair cut and humidity for an air dry then results could be quite pretty.

I’m so glad I bought this. I’ve bought so many curly hair products in the past with mixed results (obviously - what suits one curly girl won’t suit another) but on my hair this is incredible. I’ve used it twice once after a cowash and again yesterday after a low poo wash and my curls are better than they’ve ever been. The next day they look exactly as they did on day 1. It doesn’t smell and isn’t crunchy. I used it after a curl milk and a tiny bit of defining gel while it was still really wet ( I plopped it a bit with water after the gel so that it was wet enough). I’m really impressed. I ordered the full size bottle today because I don’t ever want to run out. I’ve never felt compelled to write a review for a curl product before Really amazing stuff.

So vile. Not eligible for return, either. Sticky nasty coating that felt like it never dried. I couldn’t toss this in the trash fast enough

Love a trial size! I have fine low density curls so I water this down. It leaves a great cast and doesn't weigh my hair down

I'm sure this will get mixed reviews but I really like it and use it all the time.I've got super frizzy curly hair and wear it in a bun all the time.I've tried other hair gels but they don't seem to last the day but this one can last 3 or 4.It's difficult to wash out but that might be that I've got found the right shampoo yet.Would highly you at least give it a try despite some of the not so great reviews.
