Curlsmith Shape Up Aqua Gel
Summary
Highlights
Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. Curlsmith's Shape Up Aqua Gel is a protein-enriched styling gel that provides light hold and weightless definition for all curl types.
Benefits
- Defines curls without compromising on volume or weighing the hair down
- Flexible, light and bouncy results
- Enriched with proteins at low dosage, it can be used frequently without the risk of protein overload
- Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to strengthen and protect the hair against damage. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use
- Light hold (5/10), it creates very little crunchy cast around the hair while drying
- The "cast" is key to trap moisture, keep frizz at bay and enhance definition, but the crunchy feeling is only temporary; once curls are completely dry you just need to gently "scrunch" your hair upwards to break the cast and reveal soft, defined results
- Incredibly lightweight water-based texture easily spreads through the hair, coating it evenly
- Vegan, cruelty free, clean ingredients and curly girl friendly (no sulfates, silicones or drying alcohols)
- Designed for all curls and texture types
Key Ingredients
- Powerful patented active that targets and fortifies internal hair structure (hair bonds)
- Hemp Seed & Rice Protein complex, completely plant-based alternative to animal keratin that helps the hair look stronger and more elastic
- Blend of nutrient-rich superfoods (Prickly Pear, Kale, Guava, Shiitake Mushroom, Blackcurrant and Pumpkin Seeds)

Apply to soaking wet hair. For extra moisture, prime your hair with your favorite Curlsmith leave-in. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands. Use the 'praying hands' method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Scrunch to encourage curl formation, then air dry or diffuse.

Hold and Film-Forming
I have used so many gels over the past 15 years, and I have "made do" with a lot of them. I have a favorite natural gel (film-former) that I have been using for a long time and I will never give that up. However, it only gives me about 3 days worth of hold, if that. I have been searching for an all-...

It depends
This did not have enough hold for my medium to fine, low density 2b-3a hair. It felt like a liquid serum good for adding moistures and assisting in smoothing the hair during styling. Might be good for a tighter curl pattern that likes a smoothing effect or perhaps doesn't want a lot of volume. I fou...

My hair just loves this gel, it's the only gel that works for my fine hair. I also pair this with the gold color gel.
Holy grail gel
Reviewed at
I was kindly gifted this product by a curly hair influencer and wow, does it deliver!! My curls weren't holding very well because I was lacking protein and this gel provides all the hold I needed. It definitely helps with elasticity because my curls were a lot more bouncy. The gel gives my hair a lot of shine too :sunglasses: It's a fantastic gel overall and the smell is heavenly. If you're thinking about buying it, just go for it, you won't regret it! :smirk:

Curls are new to me because of hormonal changes so I have been trying so many products. This does not leave my hair frizzy!

Lightweight product

Not as strong of a hold as their other gels but a good alternative for people with fine/thin hair because it's very lightweight.
