Most Helpful Positive Review Wonderful Waves! I bought this along with the mousse during a sale, and I am SO glad I did. I had been using DevaCurl products and was frustrated that the gel made my hair look crispy no matter how much I used or how wet/dry my hair was when applying. This gel is awesome, and makes my 2b/2c waves pop while leaving them touchable soft! I'm in love. A little goes a long way, and it smells great too!
Most Helpful Critical Review Maybe the worst curl gel ever I have extremely cooperative, healthy 3b curls with great natural definition. The only reason I use gel is to combat frizz days 2-4 of my wash cycle. I have used bottom of the barrel drugstore gel, all the way up to high end salon products. I have never ever used a curl gel that provides absolutely zero gel cast before. Even "light hold" gels will typically give you just enough cast/crunch before you scrunch to lock things in for a few days. My normally shiny, bouncy hair is a dull, frizzy mess by the end of day 1 with this product. I have achieved better results with $5 drugstore gel. Save your money. This stuff ain't it.

Ali from Sandusky
Was recommended to me by an ulta employee, & i absolutely love it. Leaves my hair feeling nourished, & shiny! Does not make my hair crunchy at all, & I was so glad because i was specifically looked for no crunch!

Works great! Scrunch in my hair and diffuse to create waves. Hair is silky smooth!

Great Anti-Frizz and Defining Product 4
Stephanie from Cincinnati Ohio
Great anti-frizz and defining product, but can be a little stiff. Will purchase again.
No Stars 1
Laura from Valparaiso
Takes away the hairs natural done and leaves a heavy residue with uneven coverage.
I Had to Return This Product 3
PamPam from Tyler, TX
It dried out my hair. It made my hair look flaky when I tried to style it the next day.

Tina from Villa Ridge IL
I use it every day, love the product just not the bottle that it comes in. Very difficult to get out of the bottle. The packaging could use some redesigning .
weird and strong smell 1
Sonia from Virginia
After using it for one time, i don't want to use it again & will be returning it because it def is not worth the price. It smells like a cheap product.
Meh 2
Ty from Charlotte
I wanted to love this gel, but I couldn't. I have high porosity 4B hair with some 4C spots and my go to style are wash and go's. This gel is moisturizing and didn't flake, but there is no hold after Day 1. It also needs to come in a jar because it is so hard to squeeze to gel out.
Didn't last 2
Coco from Michigan
Pros: Light fresh scent, good texture, feels good when dried ( not coated or weighed down.) But by the end of the day my hair was just a frizzy mess. No lasting power. Had to trash it.
AMAZING!! 5
Barbara from Manassas va
This product will lock in your waves/curls and I suggest to put oil with the gel or any gel and mix it if you prefer your hair to be moisturize not frizzy
It's okay! 3
Betty from Braselton GA
The product should be in a jar. It would be easier to apply. Your hair should be soaking wet to make the curls stay.
I would buy it again. 4

I really like it so far. I use it on wet hair then blow dry. It does what it is supposed to do. Tames frizzies and smells great.
One of the Best 5
Crystald from Montclair, New Jersey
I had to learn to use this product in the best way. After washing my hair and squeezing out all excess water, I put a generous amount of gel in each section of my hair. I let it dry completely even if it is the next day. Then I loosen the formed curls and this lasts me about a week. Highly recommend.
Disappointed 3
Ali from Grand Rapids, Michigan
I have loved all other products in this line but I don't think this gel does anything. No hold, doesn't fight frizz and leaves hair looking dull.
Awful! 3
jpt816 from San Diego
This is the worst design essentials product I have ever used. I've attempted to pair it with other design essential styling products and each time it flakes horribly and leaves my hair dry and frizzy.
