Perfect for tamed frizz and flyaways with lasting hold Enriched with flaxseed, aloe, shea butter, honey and vitamin E, this sulfate-free gel provides the right amount of hold while helping tame frizz and flyaways.

Here is a suggested step‑by‑step usage guide:

 

  1. Start on clean, wet (or very damp) hair.
  2. Divide hair into sections. This helps ensure even distribution.
  3. Apply the gel to each section. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to work it from root to tip, ensuring full coverage. 
  4. Smooth or rake the gel through hair to reduce tangling and help define curl patterns.
  5. Shape / style as desired — for curls, scrunch upward, or use techniques like finger coils or twist-outs.
  6. Allow hair to dry (air-dry or diffuse, if needed). Try not to disturb the hair until it’s fully set.
  7. Touch-up / refresh (between washes): Section hair lightly, reapply small amount to new growth or frizzy areas, and re-scrunch to revive definition. 

 

Tips & Best Practices:

 

  • Use moderate amount — too much can weigh hair down or cause buildup.
  • If combining with other styling products (creams, leave-ins), test small amounts to avoid incompatibility or flaking.
  • For added slip or moisture, you might layer a lightweight leave-in or cream before applying the gel.
  • If you experience cast (hard shell) once dry, you can scrunch out cast using a bit of water or a light oil to break the shell.
  • Patch test if you have sensitive scalp.
  • Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent drying out or contamination.
