- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified PurchaseThis is the perfect styling gel for my hair. We don't hear much about it in in the curly hair community. It has been my go to for quite some time. Always works perfectly!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2016Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified PurchaseIf 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!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025Product 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024I 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified PurchaseThere are some curls that require gel and not cream! This curl keeper is a perfect gel to keep your curls manageable and bouncy! Love this product!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2016Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified PurchaseAfter 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2024Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Style: Hair Gel SprayVerified PurchaseThis product instantly fixes frizzy, lifeless curls unlike any other spray gel or spray curl booster I've ever tried.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2024Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified PurchaseThis is a VERY light weight - soft hold gel. If you are looking for a hard hold gel (as I am) this is the wrong gel! I used much more gel that I ever thought I would need and it was still VERY light weight - VERY soft hold! It probably not a bad gel if you are looking for a soft hold gel.

5.0 out of 5 stars My All-Time Favourite Gel
Size: 33.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: Hair GelVerified PurchaseI'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.

2.0 out of 5 stars The cover was loose and a lot of product leaked out into the bag it was packaged in
