Kinky Curly Curl Custard Gel, 8 oz (983170)

Edit: Figured out my day 2 and 3 curls. I wet my hair with a spray bottle. Apply Curls Blueberry Bliss and scrunch, then apply a thin amount of gel with prayer hands and scrunch again. Love this gel. For reference I have low density, fine, wavy-curly hair. I am mixed with Italian and black and my hair frizz is extremely hard to tame. I live in Georgia with humidity and semi hard water. Now on to the review. I had been using the Kinky Curly shampoo and Knot Today leave-in for a couple of months and really liked the products, so decided to try out the gel. Turns out these are some of the best curls I have ever gotten. I washed with Come Clean, deep conditioned with Deva Curl Heaven in Hair, added Knot Today leave in and then applied the curling custard. The gel goes on smooth and left me with no wet frizz. It dried into a cast that was easy to break and left my hair soft and moisturized. The gel texture resembles flaxseed gel so it is somewhat wet and slippery which I think helps it blend into my hair better than any other gel I've used before (which includes Shea, Mixed Chicks, Curls Blueberry Bliss, Aussie, Garnier, Eco Styler). It just glided on. For this specific photo I actually washed my hair in the night, and wrapped it with a silk scarf while it was still half wet and could already feel the cast. In the morning I undid my wrap and shook the hair out to break the cast and voila! Big spiral curls. They we're so beautiful. I honestly wasn't expecting these results. In this pic I didn't style upside down (I did side ways) which is why my roots are not springy, but that was on purpose as I wanted to wear my hair half up half down with a relatively smooth top. In the end the curls lasted about 75% of the day, which is great. I was out and about at the park and my son tussles my hair a lot. Very satisfied. I haven't been able to figure out the next day curls yet, but I am super happy with the wash day results and am pretty sure I can figure out how to work this into 3 days without washing. This gel doesn't dry my curls.

I have purchased this hair product several times. I use other hair products too but this one is a favorite because of the way it allows my curls to hang out in their curl families with minimal effort from me. I use it after washing and conditioning and I am still in the shower with saturated hair. It scrunch it in and continue scrunching with my head flipped forward. Then I closely wrap my hair up and go about my normal routine for a few minutes. Then I unwrap and let my curls fall and continue to scrunch up until I am satisfied. The next day I can spritz my hair with water until dampened and then rescrunch since the product is still good again when moistened.

I have been on the hunt for a lightweight, firm-hold gel, with water-soluble ingredients, that wouldn’t weigh my 2c fine hair down or cause any breakage/shedding, and I’ve finally found exactly what I’ve been searching for! A little goes a long way, and my curls last for days. I’ve been using it for at least 2 months at this point. I also love that price is reasonable for how much you’re getting, especially since I don’t need to use much. I also like that it comes in a tub rather than a tube or other container since none of the gel will go to waste and I can have better control on how much I use. I absolutely love this gel and can’t go back to using anything else!

I understand this is for black hair, but I have long, very thick, curly and coarse and dry, tending to frizzy hair. It seems my hair has gotten drier and tends to frizz more easily as I have gotten older, and also I miss the tighter, ringlett-like curls my hair used to make as it dried naturally. I like the way my hair looks better on my trips back East where it is more humid. A hairdresser recommended this, and I felt it wouldn't hurt to try. It works really well, and probably better than more expensive stuff. The only problem is I hate the smell, but I put some other stuff over it and I can't smell it once it is dry. It also would be easier to use if it had a pump or was in a tube. I'm thinking of trying their detangler, since sometimes I put off washing my hair because I don't feel like the hassle of brushing out the tangles - which is a job with my hair.

I use this and their leave in conditioner. It is sold at Walgreens but hard to find. Definitely tames my Scottish curls. My curls are soft and bouncy.

Really works for my naturally curly hair

I have mixed curly hair (black and asian) which curls pretty well but tends to get frizzy. I usually apply hair products in the shower while my hair is still soaking wet, which I neglected to do this time around. Instead, I applied it to damp hair. It defined my hair exceedingly well, but it was extremely brittle and I didn't like the overall look. However, my hair stayed well defined the morning after I slept on it (without covering or preparing my hair in any way) and was without dents or flattened spots. It also lost the crunchy texture that it had on the first day. If anything I would probably choose to use this a few hours before bed in order to avoid needing to do my hair in the mornings. Also, the SMELL. I really didn't like the smell, but I tolerated it. It's really strong and very sweet. It's definitely hit or miss.

Love the product, but too expensive !

This product is just amazing. I use this for my kids who both have different hair types. I put this in right after I wash their hair when it's dripping wet. Small sections and let it air dry. Lasts for about 3 days and stops the curls from getting tangled or matted. You can refresh the curls the next day with a little water from a spray bottle. Doesn't make the hair crunchy and does not dry out the hair. It's expensive but it's worth it.

I buy this every month. It’s quite pricey but the quality is great. Leaves my hair moisturized and soft. I can go three days without added more gel and my hair doesn’t go stiff. Also leaves no white residue in my hair. Value for the many Pennies!

The best product for styling curly hair.

جاني بغطى مكسور بس كترطيب جدا ممتاز

Gave me a very good result with the first use itself. But it took a few weeks of experimenting to get good juicy healthy curls. I am live with his product. Will buy it again
