Our Take
A defining gel formulated with sweet hibiscus extract that gives curls strong hold and definition with a cast that scrunches out soft. CGM-friendly and widely used across the curly community. Works as a standalone styler or layered over a leave-in. Best applied to soaking-wet hair, scrunching upward — scrunch out once fully dry. Protein-free.
