I wanted to like it; however, it never held a gel cast. My curly hair not only turned dry, it also made my hair more frizzy.

Thank you for your feedback on Pantene Pro-V Curl Sculpting Hair Gel for Flexible Waves and Curly Hair. We are sorry to hear you did not get the desired results. This is not the experience we want you to have and we appreciate your bringing it to our attention. We will share your comments with the rest of our team. As you likely already know, hair can look or feel dry or frizzy if it is not conditioned enough. We suggest using a more hydrating shampoo paired with a richer conditioner and leaving the conditioner on for up to five minutes. Another thing to consider is adding a conditioning treatment to your hair care routine two or three times a week. Regarding the lack of hold, different products give different results, so make sure you are choosing the right product for the style you want to create. We suggest trying Pantene Soft Curls Shaping Mousse. It provides lightweight control and supports natural curl structure for soft, defined curls. Please feel free to call us at (800) 945-7768 or reach out through our Contact Us page for further assistance.

Barely thicker than water
Extremely disappointed in this gel. It's barely a step above water. It just makes my hair look wet when I apply it, then when it dries it has virtually zero hold whatsoever. This was recommended to me by the Pantene Customer Service people to replace the discontinued #4 Extra Strong Hold Gel that I've used for over a decade, and it's worthless to me. I honestly don't even know who this would be good for.

Thank you for reaching out about our Pantene Pro-V Flexible Waves and Curls Gel. Your loyalty has been more than appreciated and we'd like to express how disappointing it is to hear about your recent experience. What you've shared has been so unexpected as we have put all of our products through many quality checks. Please know that we will be handling this with our Quality Assurance team. In the meantime, we are happy to assist you further. It's a chance that the product just does not offer a high enough hold level for your needs. We recommend using our Strong Hold Hair Spray that has a level 4 hold. We would like to offer other suggestions that may meet your needs. Whenever you have the time, please give us a call at (800) 945-7768 or email us through our Contact Us Page.

Thank you for your feedback on Pantene Pro-V Curl Sculpting Hair Gel for Flexible Waves and Curly Hair. We are sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your recent purchase. This is not the experience we want you to have and we are sharing your comments with the rest of our team. As you likely already know hair can look frizzy or dry if it is not conditioned enough or if one is using a product that is not suited for their hair type. We recommend using a leave in conditioner on your hair before using the styling products. In reference to the hold level, different products give different results, so make sure you choose the right product for the style you want to create. Gels used to create sleek or spiky looks or to define single strands or curls. We would recommend trying a Pantene Soft Curls Shaping Mousse. Please feel free to call us at (800) 945-7768 or email us through our Contact Us page for further assistance and product recommendations.

It's okay
Tames frizz pretty good but dries out hair a bit. Overall it’s ok for the price.

Thank you for your feedback on our Pantene Pro-V Curl Sculpting Hair Gel! We're sorry to hear about your experience. You may not be using the correct version for your hair type. Also, hair can look frizzy or dry if it is not conditioned enough so it would be more beneficial to use the conditioner before applying the styling product. We suggest you use more conditioner on the ends of your hair, which does not get enough of the natural oils from your scalp or try using a leave-in conditioner instead of one you rinse out. We want to learn more about your experience so whenever you get time please reach out to us through our Contact Us page at Pantene.com or via telephone at 800-945-776

Ill just use "not your mothers" instead
Makes my curls disappear, I wanted to try something new but after using this for about 2 weeks I’ve realized it just isn’t good. It makes my hair stringy and ruins my curls. My hair will be curly when I get out the shower but when I use this gel, my hair doesn’t curl like normal

Dries my hair out
It provides the best curl definition I’ve ever seen on my hair, and it makes my curls last for so long (at least three days). However, it dries my hair out, so I’ve stopped using it. It’s unfortunate.

Works great - hope they dont change the formula.
I have thick south asian 3a/3b/3c curl patterns, and I find this gel holds really well and (at least relative to other products) protects against frizz in the intense summer humidity without being too stiff. It's one of the few gels without glycerin, and given I live in such a humid area I can't use products with humectants. I do use a curl cream underneath for definition and some jojoba oil to seal in moisture.

Miracle product
Wow. Just wow. I have wavy/curly-ish hair and this product is AMAZING. I wish I would've known about it sooner. I've tried literally every product out there. They usually leave my hair wet looking and crunchy.... lol there is NO crunch. My hair is soft. My waves are defined and I have zero frizz and my second day hair is waaaayyy less frizzy. Must buy. I don't usually write reviews unless the product was REALLY good or REALLY bad .

Holds without the crunch
I love that this gel helps my hair to keep its curls without being crunchy or stiff. Doesn’t leave my hair looking ‘wet’ and excessively shiny all day.
