Description
WHY USE CURLSMITH SHAPE UP AQUA GEL:
Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use. Curlsmith Shape Up Aqua Gel is a protein-enriched styling gel that provides light hold and weightless definition for all curl types.
HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
Curlsmith Shape Up Aqua Gel is our lightest styling gel yet. Its weightless texture is super easy to apply on the hair, ensuring it can coat all sections effortlessly. It provides outstanding definition without weighing the hair down or compromising on volume. It is also supercharged with a patented, innovative ingredient that helps strengthen the internal hair structure up to 3 times. This is a unique technology that works by creating additional hydrogen and ionic bonds within the hair keratin structure, helping to strengthen the hair shaft from the inside.
WHAT MAKES CURLSMITH DIFFERENT:
Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare ingredients to make premium products that really work. The Aqua Gel is blended with a unique complex of Rice Protein & Hemp Oil, a fully plant-based alternative to animal keratin that makes the hair look stronger and more elastic.
NO NASTIES:
All Curlsmith products have zero spoons of sulphates, silicones, mineral oils and phthalates. Plus they’re Vegan and Cruelty Free.
HOW TO USE:
Apply to soaking wet hair. For extra moisture, prime your hair with your favorite Curlsmith leave-in. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands. Use the ‘praying hands’ method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Scrunch to encourage curl formation, then air dry or diffuse.

No more crunchy curls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Typically, to get my curls to stay in shape without frizzing, I have to use products that leave my hair crunchier than I prefer. . . especially during the summer. Shape Up Aqua Gel is just the ticket to soft, no-frizz curls without the crunch. Thank you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good light weight gel, suitable for my fine (coloured) hair. Usually, after scrunching, the hair is soft and bouncy, but sometimes it is difficult to scrunch out the cast, and the hair feels crispy, particularly at the ends.
Great product! Good for wavy/curly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It made my hair crunchy and it took more of the product to use. I don’t like either. I’ll have to stick to my original product
I will buy this again.

Lovely lightweight gel, that offers a decent cast that isn’t crunchy. Been popping this over the Bouncy Strength Volume Foam, and my curls are kept from tangles and keeps both the volume and the shape. Used it last night, and had it slightly wet under my bonnet- and the cast was there and the frizz was minimal, scrunched it out and went about my day- and wow! Absolutely love the combo and the scent 🥰
Light Weight, great shine, no frizz or leftover residue

I have to wear my hair up a lot due to my work, so i use this with a leave in conditioner on days im not doing my standard curl routine. Ill set my hair in a braid so its out of my face and then after work i can take it out and it helps hold the braid waves so well and has such a nice shine with no frizz or residue feeling. I did not like this product at first because the hold isnt strong enough for my standard routine, but i hate wasting product. Im happy i found the perfect use for it and its definitely a product ill purchase again for my braid days.

On a whim I decided to try this gel and I love it. I have fine curly hair and it doesnt weigh my hair down like creams do. Its runny so its easy to distribute through my hair. I make sure my hair is really wet, rake the gel through my hair, and diffuse to form a cast. As long as your hair is really wet when raking in the gel, you'll have beautiful seaweed clumps. Once it's fully dry, I shake out the cast and I have perfect ringlets with no frizz.
Right gel for my curls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the shape up gel for sometime now and I love the way it has hold but at the same time feels moisturized. And to top it all, there are no flakes!
Perfect refresher!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite product to refresh curls. I use the frizz free gel on wash day and this one every other day in between. I add a little leave in conditioner with it for extra hydration. This gel doesn’t weight my fine hair down, gives perfect hold and bouncy curls. Highly recommend for fine, thin hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first product I've tried that doesn't weigh my hair down and help me keep my waves! It's buildable to create a cast if you want, and easily refreshed with some water

I thought my hair was frizzy before I used this product. This left my hair dry and brittle and very fuzzy. I've used this brand before and was impressed, this one not so much. Will return
