- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseOh my gosh I love this gel! Now I have a big bottle of it. I have fine, thin hair and this works great to hold curl when I style with a curling iron or other styling hot tool.
It’s easy to use and dries fast. I like to air dry my hair so I scrunch it up and let it dry. It’s not hard when it’s dry so I can brush through my hair easily.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseI love that this gel is a one and done product for curly hair. It adds moisture and hold to my curls and my curls are left so soft after crunching the scrunch after the gel casts.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseIf you have coarse/dry wavy/curly hair this is a must try! The product is more like a thin gel- not a lotion. I only used it one time and my hair feels and looks amazing! I have been thinking about buying this for some time and my only regret is not trying it sooner. My hair is on the 2b/2c side, coarser and I bleach regularly (thanks to my genetics of gray hair). This product is thin and it has so much slip it just covers your hair without being thick and sticky. I have tried literally almost everything out there and this by far has taken the number one spot. Treluxe, Curlsmith, Inahsi, Mixed Chicks...Harry's, LUS, Curl Talk, Miss Jessies, Carol's Daughter, Ouidad, Jessicurl, Cantu, Mielle, Shea Moisture, all the drug store/walmart brands.. the list goes on-SO MUCH $$$. I am also part of Curls Monthly and have tried almost every product I've received over the past 8 months. I didn't take a pic today but man I should have. It has a very light scent and I am sensitive to smells and my skin is very sensitive and this does not bother me @ all. If you are in the fence TRY it. Will update regarding longevity and include pics. Holy Grail contender definitely 😍
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseI live in a very humid area where it rains all fall and winter. I struggled when I moved to this location to find the right products to hold my curls but not damage my hair. After some experimenting, I found that I like how this holds my curls, especially when it is raining because it leaves a nice casting on your curls. However, my curls have textures that range from course, thick and unruly to soft and bouncy and I find that I need a product that is slightly thicker than that of AG Care Liquid Effects Extra-Firm Styling Lotion.
Final thoughts - It is a great product and I do believe that most people with curls will find it useful for their hair. The environment your curls are around does matter, so experiment with your products with different weather or locations.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2025Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseABSOLUTLEY LOVE THIS PRODUCT FOR MY CURLY HAIR HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND DEFINITELY BUYING AGAIN!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019I bought this recently with the curl activator as a bit of a splurge. Since I've been going natural with my curly hair I've mostly used drug store brands for my hair. My hair is super fine and needs a lot of hold to keep my curls in place while they dry, this AG gives the product a 5/5 for hold. Compared to other strong hold gels and mousse I've used I would say it's more of a 3/5. With this and the curl activator I start out with pretty defined hair after I've worked them in, but as my hair dries my curls have kind of stretched out and gone a bit limp in places. I also pretty much need a refresh each day after wash day, with my herbal essence mouse I usually don't need a refresh until the third day. The second thing that I was't impressed with is how dull and lifeless my hair looks when I use these products. I've used a lot of gels by the Mane Choice in combination with the herbal essence mouse, and they always leave my hair super shiny and glossy. The color of my hair is much darker with this and kind of looks like it's greasy even if the texture doesn't look greasy, If that makes any sense. I doubt I'll even finish the bottle. I've been experimenting with the curl activator and different products with some really amazing results.
If you're looking for a really strong hold gel, I would say skip this one. But I would recommend the curl activator by AG if you're after more definition.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite gel
Still my favourite gel I've ever used - really nice, smooth consistency that adds great hold and definition to my curls. Easy to scrunch out, leaving hair soft and shiny with no sticky residue or feeling of buildup. Usually I can just re-activate it with a little water each day to refresh my hair.
- JillianReviewed in Canada on September 2, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars 10000% worth the price for curly hair!
(1st photo: me on a normal day after using this product. 2nd photo: no hair product - an old picture I took to illustrate to my friends how crazy my hair can get!)
I've been using this product on my 3B curly hair for ~10 years, which is long enough for me to occasionally forget that this is the HOLY GRAIL. Sometimes I try to branch out for a cheaper option ... it's always a disaster. I truly cannot recommend this enough. It leaves my hair defined and totally frizz free (as long as I'm careful to avoid the worst of the humidity where I live) when on its own it would be a frizzy disaster.
1 bottle lasts me 1.5-2 months. I recommend not using too much - it's not needed. It is often the only thing I use in my hair. If the hair is not manipulated, it dries with a shiny gel cast which is incredibly easy to scrunch out, and leaves your hair looking completely natural with almost no residue!
I've never uploaded a photo to a review before, much less a photo of myself, but it felt necessary to show how awesome this stuff is!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite product
Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseThis Product has really firm hold - so I always just mix a bit of it in with my other AG brand gel - usually recoil. Every time I try new products, I regret it and always end up going back to AG for my 2a wavy/curly hair. This is new packaging though, and doesn’t dispense as well as the old packaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great hold
Scent: New collectionVerified PurchaseThis is a nice strong-hold gel! My hair is wavy/curly and tends to lose its volume and curl without help. I use this on wet hair, rake it through all over and then use a towel to scrunch and squeeze the excess water. I let my hair air dry and then scrunch out the crunch, and i love the results.
