Sleek is harder than defined. Definition forgives a stray hair, a laid bun does not.

  • Locks out humidity, so a smooth style stays smooth
  • Shapes and holds curl and coil patterns cleanly
  • Flexible hold, with no crunch and no white flaking
  • Leaves a healthy sheen rather than a wet-look shine

As I Am's Smoothing Gel is aimed at exactly that job. It is light for a gel, so the natural texture still shows through rather than being flattened out, and it works equally for laid edges, a sleek bun or a defined wash-and-go depending on how much you use and how you dry it.

Apply to damp hair, smooth in the direction you want the hair to sit, and brush the hairline if you are going for a polished finish. Let it dry undisturbed. Eight ounces is a reasonable working size for someone who slicks their hair back more than once a week.

Application tips

Damp hair takes this better than soaking hair. Too much water and the gel slides off before it grips.

Smooth it along the surface for a sleek bun or a laid parting, or rake and scrunch it through for a wash and go. A brush gives a cleaner finish than fingers on smoothed styles. Let it dry fully before you touch it.

Results

Frizz lies down and stays down, and edges and partings look properly finished rather than roughly tidied.

The hold is firm while it dries and softens once you break the cast. There is a clean shine rather than a wet, plastic look. Nothing flakes when you brush over it and nothing goes white where it has been layered.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
