Share your thoughts with other customers

Customers say

Customers find the hair gel fantastic for curls, keeping them tamed and frizz-free throughout the day. The product receives positive feedback for its softness, leaving curls smooth with no frizz, and customers consider it the best gel for curly hair. The hold and weight receive mixed reviews - while some say it holds styles well for several days and is lightweight, others report it doesn't provide enough hold and can weigh down fine hair. The water content is also mixed, with customers noting it's water-based.

Love it
I used this in combination with my leave in (As I Am) & Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel. Was the first time using this product and Ouidad so I'm not sure which product helped with my frizz or both in combination. I normally have a big section of hair on the side of my head that is always so frizzy, no matter what i do or which products i used but the combination i mentioned above dramatically reduced the frizz! I love the results and will continue to buy both products from now on

    If you have curly hair - you need this product. It makes somewhat frizzy hair turn into ringlets with no fuss/no work/no blowdryer. Just put a quarter size amount in shoulder length hair, distribute throughout all the hair and brush. Then squeeze your hair into curls. Leave it alone. Let it dry naturally and voila - curly, tamed hair!!! Highly recommend. Especially for southern women!!!

    Product is good enough, but the spray pump doesn't work. It 'streams' out the product instead of spraying it. I have to spray it in my hands and then apply it to my hair. Too much aggravation for me!

    I like the size for traveling & convenience of a spray. Put up hair in ponytail, sprayed a lot on flyaways around my face & the back of my hair and it didn't hold hair in place for long. Sprayed my curls & had to use a lot of spray & didn't keep the curls for long. Used it on wet & dry hair with same results. Won't buy this again.

    Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified Purchase
    After trying the original blend in a travel size, I fell in love and needed MORE! Though, I thought I may need a little more hold for my curls and thus I decided to try this gel. I can honestly say I don't like it as much as the original, due to the thickness of the gel. It seems to be too strong, where it will leave my hair "crunchy" in places even when I put it in while my hair is wet (as directed). The original Curl Keeper is a bit more loose or 'watery' type of gel, which I feel gives my hair more bounce and the ability to re-style with more freedom when needed.

    It's a great product, don't get me wrong-- it keeps my natural curls tamed! But if you're looking for something light, this may not be your best choice. Go for the original.

    Size: 33.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified Purchase
    I've been using this hard hard gel since I started transitioning back to my natural curls. My dry, frizzy 3b curls really enjoy the extra hard hold this gel provides, keeping my curls intact for a full week. It's humidity-blocking but does not weigh down the hair, nor does it feel dry. This is an excellent gel for all seasons, and holds up to the most extreme weather and temperatures. If you're looking for a new holy-grail, go-to, I would recommend giving this one a try.
