BriogeoCurl Charisma Rice Amino + Quinoa Frizz Control Gel, Curl Defining Styler for Wavy, Curly and Coily Hair Textures,Medium Hold, Frizz Control, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, 5.5 oz

I used to love the old Devacurl Arc Angel gel (before the reformulation that removed all the protein). I’ve struggled so much to find a replacement that would actually hold my curls and give them definition for years since. The ones that had really powerful hold (LA Looks, Garnier, Not Your Mothers, Ouidad) had no proteins or amino acids that would help give definition to my curls. So I’d have hold, but loose and limp waves where I should have curls. Or I’d find one with protein but the hold would be abysmal and I’d end up refreshing my curls every morning instead of being able to go 3 days without needing to. I have fine hair, I need those proteins for my curl pattern to hold itself together otherwise as soon as the cast is broken they just fall apart.This gel is exactly what I was looking for. Protein galore in the entire line, but the gel is the perfect combo of strong hold and hella protein for my hair. It’s got a slimy texture almost that makes it a breeze to work through the hair and ensure every curl is covered and you can feel it forming a cast as I scrunch it in. It’s still workable while damp, but it’s really cool to feel it settling into curls as you go.The gel cast breaks easily whether you use bare hands or a little oil to break it up and despite it being a strong hold, it doesn’t leave your hair crunchy unless you apply way too much. Start small with this gel though, since you can feel that cast starting to form when you’re first applying, let that tell you to add more or not.I easily get 3 days of good curls with this gel before needing to refresh. If my hair wasn’t short right now, I could probably go longer if I wanted to. It locks your curls into shape and keeps them there.

The media could not be loaded. I’m in curl training so my curls aren’t at their premium state, but this is the best my hair has ever looked! I have a lot of hair, but it’s considered fine in the curly hair world (not kinky) so I have to use water or aloe based products. I have some stubborn strands that still like to stay straight, and this is the first product I’ve used that makes them curl a bit. There’s no smell and it’s super easy to use. Because it creates a cast (crunchy layer to scrunch out when hair is dry), you simply section your damp hair after a shower, rake through, then squeeze your hair up towards your roots multiple times then again with a 100% cotton cloth/ shirt. I then diffuse upside down my roots and then the curls. It’s a work in progress but this has done a marvelous job. If only the price wasn’t so much, but clearly I got what I paid for.

Good curl designer that makes the hair look shiny and keeps the waves and curls longer.

I tried this a long time ago before I knew how to style my curly hair correctly and how to use products. It was sticky and left my hair crunchy/gross. NOW that I know to apply products to soaking wet hair, holy cow this stuff helped my curls be so defined and bouncy without the crunchy gluey feeling. The hold is wonderful. After refreshing my hair mid week with some curl cream I was able to make my style last 7days! Will be buying again!

Great product. Hard to find. I ordered this 2x & twice they sent me the mask & not the gel. Very frustrating. I feel Amazon in general has been just sending random items when a product is out of stock. It would be helpful if they updated their website to say it’s sold out rather than them sending random items.

Super light and effective, Im almost running out of my first one so i decided to order another one and it ended up being as empty as my older one. The lid did not have a protective seal on it and spilled during shipping. Very disappointing.

Es bueno me encanta 💖

I have wavy to curly hair depending on how I style it. I bought this product based on a recommendation from Mel. I've had it a while, but just used it for the first time last week. We had some drier weather and my hair needed more moisture. While my hair was wet, I put a small amount onto my hair and clumped it. I gave fine hair, but this product did not weigh my hair down. My hair was beautifully moisturized and shiny. The curls clumped together well and my hair stayed that way for 2 days. I'm going to use this every time I style my hair, but only if I wet it down fully first. This is a great product and I'll gladly use this from now on.
