How to use

Step 1

Rub the product between your hands and apply on soaking wet hair.

Step 2

Use the “raking/praying hands method” to evenly spread the product throughout your strands.

Step 3

Select your desired styling method (scrunch/fingercurls/shingle) to enhance and define.

Step 4

Air dry or diffuse. Avoid touching your hair excessively while drying as this will create frizz. Once completely dry, scrunch to 'break the light cast' using an oil or serum to make your hair soft and bouncy.

Small bit can achieve soft hold

"I prefer a fluffy curl with no cast but wanted a small bit of frizz control when diffusing. I gambled on gel (especially strong hold) because it’s fragrance free but I’m pleasantly surprised! I dilute a tiny tiny pea size in wet hands and smooth over wet leave in. Diffused hair is so soft and flexible without being too shiny or stiff. It’ll last me forever too."

So, this is my first

"So, this is my first time trying this and so far, I love it!!! Today was my first day of using it and I got a great cast and love that it's fragrance free for those who are sensitive to fragrance and it doesn't leave your hair feeling yucky like some gels do, It's a holy grail"

Fabulously Fragrance-Free Strong-Hold Gel is Fantastic

"I cannot tolerate fragrance, so finding Curlsmith’s strong hold gel has been such a relief. It gives my curls great definition, strong hold, and lasting frizz control without the irritation or overwhelming scent I want to avoid. What I appreciate most is that it still performs beautifully while being gentle enough for my needs. My curls stay shaped, soft, and bouncy, and I never have to worry about fragrance making the experience uncomfortable. For me, this is a perfect option because it delivers exactly what I want from a styling gel while keeping fragrance out of the equation."

Juanita S. (5/5)

Excellent Product

"This is an excellent product. I was finding out after time that the fragrances in my products were causing scalp sensitivity with itching and slight hair loss. Now that I have switched two of my products to fragrance free the itching has stopped and my hair is growing back better than ever."

John K. (5/5)

The best gel out there

"Truly the best gel out there. I have fragrance sensitivity and this gel not only keeps the headaches at bay but it also keeps my curls super defined yet still moisturized in a very humid, southern climate. I had a good friend try this gel when she came to visit me from out of town. She has finer, less dense, and more tightly coiled hair than mine and she was in AWE of how well this gel performed. When she got home she immediately purchased herself a bottle."

Natasha S. (5/5)

Only gel I ever use now

"I have fine 3A curls and really dislike fragranced hair products, so this gel is fantastic because it has no scent and it provides an super strong cast that results in fantastic, long-lasting hold to my curls. The product out of the bottle is very thick, so I do add a tiny bit of water water to it to provide more slip when I rake it through my hair. It's the only gel I use and a little goes a long way, so one large bottle last a long time. Great value for money!"

Stephanie B. (5/5)

Best. Gel. Ever.

"I had never figured out a good routine for my hair and I always felt like I looked sort of like I had gone through a tornado with my hair frizzy and seeming to have a mind of its own. Enter Curlsmith Fragrance Free Stong Hold Gel. This stuff is incredible. I often only use this as a styler although sometimes I use a cream beforehand. It has the most incredible hold and yet once it dries and I scrunch it out- super soft bouncy curls! I also get headaches from strong scents sometimes so having a fragrance free hair gel that doubles as the best gel I’ve ever used is a no-brainer. I will never buy any other gel. Curlsmith you are my Hero…. nowww I’d love fragrance free versions of all the other recipes 😍"

Shannon C. (5/5)

I like it

"First time using Curlsmith. I like this product, but I don't think it has a very strong hold. I have wavy hair, and I feel that I could use a little bit more definition and longer-lasting results."

Ely (4/5)

Grateful to find these products

"I really like the combination of the leave-in conditioner and this gel on my curly hair. I recently developed an allergy to a very common fragrance, and it was a challenge to find curly hair products that were moisturizing enough and also fragrance free. I was really grateful when I discovered these products that are working for my hair and not causing an allergy."

Nadine M. (5/5)

LOVE THIS GEL!

"Finally! The right product for my curly/wavy fine hair and it has no offensive smell. It holds my curls shape after crunching but isn't stiff."

Q&A

Will you bring back the flexible hold gel from the previous line? It's the only product that has ever worked for me, and I'm devastated that it has been discontinued. I have been able to find other brands to replace the Shampoo and conditioner (I am allergic to the new formula) but nobody else makes a gel that works with my texture and my sensitive skin.
Hi Mia, Thank you so much for reaching out and for sharing your experience with the Flexible Hold Gel. We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing it can be when a product that works so well for both your hair texture and sensitive skin is discontinued. At this time, we don’t have any information about the Flexible Hold Gel returning to the range, but we truly appreciate you letting us know how important it was for you. Feedback like yours is shared directly with our product team and really helps us understand what our customers miss most. We’re also very sorry to hear the new shampoo and conditioner formulas didn’t work for your allergies and sensitivities. While we can’t guarantee an exact replacement for the Flexible Hold Gel, our Fragrance-Free Strong Hold Gel may be worth trying if you haven’t already, as it was created with sensitive scalps and fragrance sensitivities in mind.
