Love Ocoa!
I'm so happy to have found this line! I love it so much so far (just started using it). About my hair: I have wavy/curly hair (mostly 2B-2C wavy with a bit of 3A) that is fine but there's a ton of it.

Happy curls
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I can finally wear my hair curly! This gel keeps my curls frizz free especially in the Florida humidity. A little goes a long way and it doesn't feel stuff or sticky.
My new "Go To"!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This styling gel has made my hair so manageable. I have very curly, maturing gray hair. Products that previously worked were full of unwanted chemicals and dried my hair. Ocoa products have put the spring back in my curls without making it crunchy. I highly recommend this product!

Hair Type Wavy Hair
I'm so happy to have found this line! I love it so much so far (just started using it). About my hair: I have wavy/curly hair (mostly 2B-2C wavy with a bit of 3A) that is fine but there's a ton of it. I prefer clean beauty and avoid silicones, phthalates, parabens, etc. I've been using a well-known clean beauty brand for the last several years and while I like it, I don't love it. I was really looking for a change and I'm so happy to have stumbled across this brand! I love everything about these products so far - the light yet natural scent, the clean ingredients, supporting a woman-owned small business, the experience of using the products, the packaging, and the results. My scalp/skin is sensitive to cocamidopropyl betaine/hydroxysultaine and similar surfactants, and these are almost impossible to avoid completely. The fact that this line does not use these surfactants is the cherry on top (they're common allergens but they're in everything so if your scalp is sensitive, maybe try avoiding them and see if that helps you too). I'm using the shampoo, conditioner, cream, and gel and these products together are working great for me!
Best flaxseed gel for curls!!!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This is my favorite gel! It's super hydrating and gives me so much definition. The shine I get with this gel is like no other and I love how lightweight it is compared to other gels I've tried. I have wavy/curly hair. It's been a game changer for my hair. Do yourself a favor and try this ASAP!
The BEST gel
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This gel is great! It works wonderfully at keeping my hair frizz-free and hydrated at the same time. I like that it doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky at all, and it has a lightweight hold. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a clean gel.

- Q
What is the best method to apply the curl defining styling gel?
- Asked by KB
- Official Answer By OCOA - Brand EngageFor the best results, apply the gel to clean, soaking wet hair after your leave-in or curl cream. Work it through in sections, then use your fingers or a brush to define your curls. Finish by gently scrunching upward to encourage curl formation, and let your hair air dry or diffuse. Once completely dry, scrunch again to soften any cast and reveal soft, defined, frizz-free curls.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How can I prevent frizz while using the gel?
- Asked by SJR
- Official Answer By OCOA - Brand EngageGreat question! The best way to minimize frizz is to apply the Curl Defining Styling Gel to soaking wet hair after your leave-in products. Smooth the gel through your curls in sections, then gently scrunch to encourage curl definition. Try to avoid touching your hair while it's drying, as this can create frizz. Once your hair is completely dry, you can gently scrunch out any cast for soft, defined, frizz-free curls.Was this answer helpful to you

Is OCOA for all hair types/curl patterns? Is there any you would not recommend it for?
- Asked by curlyter

Our Curl Defining Styling Gel provides flexible hold and definition without leaving hair crunchy or weighed down. Since every head of hair is unique, we always recommend adjusting the amount used based on your hair's density and texture. If you have very fine or straight hair, start with a small amount to avoid weighing hair down.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used on thin fine permed hair?
- Asked by Coco
- Official Answer By OCOA - Brand EngageYes, our Curl Defining Styling Gel can be used on fine, permed hair. Because fine hair can be more easily weighed down, we recommend starting with a small amount and building as needed. For best results, apply to damp hair and distribute evenly for definition and light hold. Warmly, OCOA Support TeamWas this answer helpful to you
