Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer is an extreme strong hold styling gel that provides long-lasting definition, humidity protection and shine for all curls.
Benefits
- Gives curls extreme definition
- Long-lasting, weather-resistant results
- Locks in water and hydration (that's why it's recommended to use in shower or on soaking wet hair)
- Extreme hold (10/10), it creates a strong 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
- Thick gel texture for ultimate control
- Vegan, cruelty free, clean ingredients and curly girl friendly
- Designed for all curls and texture types
Key Ingredients
- Resurrection flower (aka Rose of Jericho), desert plant that survives up to 3 years without water, known for its moisture-retention properties
- Andiroba, indigenous plant of the Amazon forest known for its nourishing properties
- Avocado, Apricot Kernel and Sunflower oil for added nourishment
- Aloe, Sage, Rosemary, Pepper and Basil extracts, known for their antioxidant properties
Formulated Without
- Sulfates
- Silicones
- Drying alcohols
Use on soaking wet hair. Take a dime sized amount per hair section. Rub it between your palms first. Smooth down the length of the hair, using the "praying hands" method. Scrunch gently upwards, then air dry or diffuse. When fully dry, scrunch again to break the cast. No residue, greasiness or crunch.

Best styler of my life!
I absolutely LOVE and adore this gel! I have medium length 3B/medium porosity hair and this gel has been a total game changer for me! I've been doing the same hair routine for decades with ok curls that I could never leave down because they'd frizz after a few hours. A year ago I started experimenti...

So disappointed!!
Sadly, I ended up hating this product. The reviewers are not wrong - the product gives you definition, but for me it was at a cost of losing volume and softness. Instead, my hair was flat, defined, stiff, and had some frizz (but this was minimal). I used it as directed (in the shower, soaking wet) a...

Great for curls
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I tried the sample size and loved it. Would definitely buy the full size. Curls still look good the next day.
Holy grail gel!
Every strong hold gel that comes out, i try! Im not crazy about the smell but it doesnt bother me either! The hold is just perfect for my hair! It leaves such a stunning shine & definition! And the cast is strong but very easy to break which is very important for my frizz happy hair! I dont use it on soaking wet hair nor do i apply this in the shower! I apply it on damp hair, and add water with a spray bottle as needed, i always use a leave in or curl cream underneath, never alone because honestly i dnt style my hair with just gel! So i cannot speak on the dry issue others has stated! I dnt go out of my way to use a hair product! it has to fit into my routine & my styling techniques! I recently used the rizos curls strong hold gel and the doux bee girl gel which is all over tik tok right now and they were too strong for me! A cast thats so hard to break it either left me with more frizz than wanted and limp curls! I always resort back to this gel which just proves how amazing it is for my hair type (3b-3c ) give it a try guys!!
I love!!

One day, I discovered that I didn't have dry frizzy hair after all. I had waves and curls crying out for moisture! As a result, I am 9+ months in on learning a new way of caring for my waves and curls. One product that has the crazy hold I need is the in-shower style fixer. I already have a larger tube of this, but I have an obsession (small-ish) I'm currently dealing with. I have a rather large and impressive collection of Curlsmith travel size tubes, and I'm well on my to completing it! Curlsmith travel size in-shower fixer is actually in an order I have coming today, along with the curl quenching moisturizing wash.Now, I have everything I need when traveling to build a great wash day routine and it won't be such a hassle trying to pack a bunch of full size products. I digress. I hope you like this as I do. It's very thick and sometimes add water in my hand and emulsify again until it's nice and slippery. It's very good at day two, and day three hair as well. The hold lasts through those other days when not washing. I'll definitely repurchase! I have the full sizes as well, but these are so darned cute!
Didn't work for my hair
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I am caucasian with natural curl. I love the Curl Smith line of products but this one is not for me.
Great for humidity
I live in miami and this is the only thing that makes my hair last 7 days. This is my holy grail. It is sticky and leaves a film but if you use the right amount, it's perfect.
