Most Helpful Positive Review A must First I want to say this is a 5 star product but it's price point is not. It's a $1 more at Ulta. This product tho… I suffered extreme hair and scalp damage from exclusively using Devacurl for several months. I never thought I'd get my curls back. EVER. They were straight, matted "curls" for so long. I was hesitant to try this over the price but went for it and I'm glad I did. This brought back my bouncy, ringlet curls I'd grown to love. I can't express enough how much it change the way I look at my hair because I thought it was ruined forever. I have always used the L.O.C. method for my hair but I've been fooled. I tried this product and wish I had sooner!! It gives the results. What I love is that I can solely rely on this product. I recommend sectioning your hair with use because if you use too much you can get that ~crunchy~ texture but it will soften up a bit over time. I will use this after a wash day. It holds the curl, for myself, into the next day. That's when I'll touch up with water and the moisture milk to freshen up my curls. The brand is also blacked owned and vegan. You can't beat this! Though it's expensive it's worth it. I won't use anything else on my hair!
Most Helpful Critical Review Not what it used to be… This was my HG along with the moisture milk. Unfortunately, once the brand expanded and launched at Ulta, the product quality went downhill. Or maybe they've had issues with the supply chain like everyone else. The formulation is different and the texture is more watery. Don't be fooled by the label, companies have a generous grace period to update those after changes have been made. Kinky Curly Curling Custard is more expensive but the quality is still there.
Reviewed by 27 customers A really great product 5
Iara from Florida
Since it is on the pricier side I reserved it for special occasions where I would also finger coil all of my hair. All of the curls were smooth and uniform. For reference, I have a lot of hair and it's really thick with 3a-2c curls and waves.
Highly recommend ! 5
Awoods from Kansas City
This gel is light weight but gets the heavy weight job done! You can use it to set your wash and goes and define curls! While also using it to do a quick slick back ponytail or different styles! It's also just as good and healthy for you to style and tame your edges! You won't be disappointed !!!
I love this gel! 5
DaniWalk27 from Dallas, TX
This product is my favorite gel to use right now. It leaves a slight sheen to my hair and holds my curls in place. It does tend to flake though after a couple of days.

I bought this gel and never looked back 5

This gel has amazing hold and works well on both textures of my hair.
Top 2 gel's and high key not two 5
A Pretty Brown Girl from Ohio
I typically use this in my wash n go routine, gel is key for a wng and this never disappoints. Paired with the curl love moisture milk? Chefs kiss! Even good on its own!!
Go-to Product! Amazing! 5
des from Fl
Love this product. Perfect on my curly hair! I like that this product defines my curls, leaves my hair soft, and isn't super thick. It doesn't weigh down my hair. I use it on wash day or just to refresh my curls. Definitely leaves the curls poppin' & I'll always recommend it. Camille Rose products are great & smell amazing!

I don't recommend 1
Amal from Orland Park, IL
It smells good in the bottle but it loses the smell once it's on the hair. Not a huge issue. It made my hair crunchy which is definitely not the look I was going for. I was expecting fluffy waves/curls but I was disappointed.
moisturizing 4
tatiana from Brooklyn, NY
Made my hair really soft but did not define my hair at all. My hair stayed in a fro, which was fine because it was soft and easy to manage, I could easily section my hair which usually doesn't happen when I wear my fro. so I would buy it again when I want to wear my hair out on a fro instead of a define wash and go.
Glycerin free! 5
Mariah C from East Coast
Glycerin free means your hair won't get dry in cold snowy weather, and it won't get frizzy in humid weather! I tried this out in San Diego and it didn't hold well (we're literally on the water so probably not a fair assessment) but it works amazing where I live on the east coast. Totally love this product, now I use it as a topper gel.
NO 4
jackie from Irvine, CA
It's a great gel, but not for my texture. I have 3C hair, and the top of my roots is always frizzy. I need a gel with a stronghold to tame the frizz.
Wonderful ! 5
Kennedy from Arizona
I'm transitioning from straightened to my naturally 3c curls and I am blown away by how much this cuts frizz and makes my curls pop. It also helps with drying process! I'm so pleased with how this works and I use it for my edges as well. Very happy !
This product is a must have! 5
JBN from Sc
I have 3c-4a-4b curly/coily hair patterns. I have used this product for about 3-4 years. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find products that work for my hair, but I always come back to this product. It does exactly what it says it will do. It definitely defines, elongates, and this is the only product I've found that controls my frizzy hair. Camille Rose really knocked this one product straight out of the park!
Love this! 5
Mena from Texas
Defines and holds my curls without making my curls feel or look crunchy. A little goes a long way so it lasts!
Staple 5
Shae from DMV
On curl resistant hair, water then gel. Rub hands together sometimes misting hands with water to distribute. Used hair dryer with diffuser to set curl pattern and dry any areas that seem to sit on hair (white areas). Heat helps hair either absorb products or dry it away and see any gel balls that need a little more water midst to thin & dissolve gel.
holiest of holy grails 5
Jeanne Love from Baltimore
This is hands down the BEST gel I've used for my 2C-3B curly hair!! I've never come across a better product. Does not leave my hair crunchy or wet and weighed down. The results are unmatchable by any other products. I pair it with Curlsmith's Hold Me Softly Style balm. I refresh next day with Mizani's Curl Enhancing Lotion. Don't need to refresh for at least 4 more days. I wash my hair every 8-10 days.
YES LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5
Sarita from Reno
LOVE IT!!!!!
My curls feel protected without leaving that annoying crunch to it. I was a little skeptical about buying this product but I'm so glad I did. I've gotten so many compliments regarding my hair. Use this with the curl activator milk and I promise you your curls will absolutely love it💖.
New staple for me 5
Emily from USA
I've recently started my wavy/curly journey and I find that my hair gets weighed down easily by products. (I have thick, dry, 2b-c hair) Any structure to my wavy/curly hair will fall after wash day because most gels with lasting hold will just weigh my hair down, but not this one! This gel is lightweight, doesn't leave my hair crunchy, and will preserve my hair until I refresh it. Totally worth the price.
Nondrying.... 5
Dee from NY
I have no bad things to say about this product. I wash my hair every other day to three days. I condition my hair everyday instead of washing it. I use conditioner to wash my hair everyday when not shampooing. Depending on weather and/ or activities I either wash every other day or up to three days. This Curl Maker I apply after the Coconut Water Hydrating Elixir . I leave my hair wrapped in a towel for about ten then blow dry while scrunching. Makes a nice curl that is soft . Very hapy with this product.
Worth the money! 5
Kamesha from Ga
Curl Maker is expensive but it's literally so worth it! During their Black Friday sale I bought 5 bottles of it. I use the moisture milk and this on wet hair in the shower and my curls dry super defined and soft! Love this stuff. I buy enough so that I never run out
Best Stuff Ever 5
Simone from Chicago
Super expensive but i dont care, i love this
Love this stuff! 5
PhxGal39 from Phoenix
I'm so glad that CM is at Ulta!
This is one of the best products in her line.
I've been a long time user of this styler.
It defines, moisturizes and creates long lasting curls.
I have 3c/4a hair, and this defines my curls unlike any other. Lasts through humidity, misters and heat.
This has to be the best natural hair styler on the market!
Worth the price 5
Vane from Oakland
First of all, I had no idea CR finally made it to Ulta! This gel is so nice. The texture is like a slime but it feels great on the hair and my curls 3b3c dry beautiful. Please note that this is not like a custard at all, it's so much lighter !!
Holds Curls Perfectly 5
Madman_SpoiledRotten from Dallas, Tx
I'm so excited to see this line at Ulta!
I love this gel, it holds my curls and adds shine and moisture without the crunch. Perfect for my wash and go. I have 3c curls pattern.
