Your Curls Defined Light Hold Styling Gel for Frizz-Free, Defined Curls 326g/11.5 oz

Light hold is a deliberate choice, not a weaker version of a strong gel. If you want curls that stay defined but still move, still bounce and still feel like hair rather than sculpture, this is the category to be shopping in.

The gel is made for wavy, curly and textured hair, and it defines the pattern without the stiffness or sticky residue traditional gels leave. Frizz stays controlled through humid days, shine comes up, and curls stay soft enough to touch. There is no cast to break out afterwards, because there was no hard cast to begin with.

Light hold also makes the second day easier. There is nothing rigid to break down, so a spray of water and a scrunch brings the pattern back, instead of leaving you with half a cast and half a frizz halo. Layer it over a leave in if your hair runs dry, because it defines well but does not do much moisturising on its own.

Apply to soaking wet hair, rake it through in sections, then scrunch. Air dry, or diffuse on low.

326g / 11.5 oz tub, and it suits 2a through 3b patterns best: loose waves and defined curls that want help holding their shape rather than being locked into it.
