Gelée Curl Contour
Gel-cream hybrid for 24-hour frizz control and definition
A gel-cream hybrid that delivers the definition of a gel with the hydration of a cream — 24-hour frizz control is the claim, and reviews back it up. Fully silicone-free and confirmed CGM-approved, making it a stronger option for CGM purists than you might expect from a Kérastase product. No stiff gel cast, which makes it accessible for beginners who are not yet doing the scrunch-the-crunch technique. Works across curly to coily patterns (3a–4c) and sits well under a stronger gel if you need more hold. Best seller in the Curl Manifesto range. Protein-free, medium hold.
