FAQs

Can this product be used on dry hair?

While the best results are typically achieved on wet or damp hair to help define and set curls, a very small amount can be applied to dry hair to tame frizz or refresh curls, though definition might be less pronounced.

Is this product suitable for fine hair?

Yes, its lightweight and silicone-free formula makes it suitable for fine hair, as it's designed not to weigh curls down. Start with a very small amount to avoid over-application.

How often should I use the Curl Jelly?

The Curl Jelly can be used every time you wash your hair and style your curls. It's safe for regular use as part of your curl care routine.

Does this product protect against heat?

The primary function of the Curl Jelly is definition and frizz control. While it provides some hold, it does not specifically offer heat protection. If using heat styling tools, it's advisable to use a dedicated heat protectant.

Will this product make my hair feel hard?

The Curl Jelly provides a medium hold. When dry, it might create a slight 'cast' on your curls, which helps with definition and frizz control. You can gently scrunch your hair once dry to soften this cast and reveal bouncy, natural-feeling curls.

Troubleshooting

Curls feel crunchy or sticky.

This usually indicates too much product was used. Try using a smaller amount next time. You can also gently scrunch your dry hair to 'break' the gel cast and soften the curls.

Curls lack definition or fall flat.

Ensure your hair is adequately wet or damp before applying. Distribute the jelly evenly and scrunch thoroughly. For more hold, you might need a slightly larger amount of product.

Hair still frizzy after use.

Make sure the product is applied evenly throughout all your curls. Avoid touching your hair excessively while it dries. Using a diffuser can sometimes help 'set' the curls and reduce frizz during drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Application

  1. Prepare Hair: Start with clean, wet or damp hair. For best results, apply after washing and conditioning, while hair is still quite wet.
  2. Dispense Product: Squeeze a small amount of Curl Jelly into your palm. The amount will vary based on hair length, thickness, and desired hold. Start with a coin-sized amount and add more if needed.
  3. Distribute Evenly: Rub the jelly between your palms, then gently rake or smooth it through your hair, ensuring even distribution from roots to ends.
  4. Scrunch for Definition: Begin scrunching your hair upwards towards your scalp. Gently squeeze and release sections of hair to encourage curl formation.
  5. Dry: Allow your hair to air dry naturally for soft, defined curls. Alternatively, use a diffuser on a low heat and speed setting for faster drying and added volume. Avoid touching hair too much while drying to prevent frizz.
  6. Break the Cast (Optional): Once completely dry, if a slight 'cast' or crunchiness is present, gently scrunch your curls again to soften them, revealing bouncy, defined results.

Compatibility

This Curl Jelly is suitable for all curl types, from loose waves to tight coils. Its silicone-free formula is gentle and designed to enhance natural hair texture without weighing it down. It is also compatible with other curl-friendly styling products.
