Truly Non-Crunchy, Soft, Well-Held Curls

Aubrey J - 24 days ago, Verified purchaser
I love everything about this - so much that I bought all 4 bottles left on the shelf for fear they were discontinuing it. I have pretty damaged blonde curls (3B) and most gels dry them out. Cheribe's soft hold gel holds my curls and leaves them looking soft and healthy without that crunch. I live in humid & hot Austin Texas and this gel holds up after spending many hours outdoors. It revives well after a night of sleep, too (I'll try to remember to add pics...). I put it in when my hair is still quite wet to get the best, thicker ringlets and usually air dry. It works well for me w/a diffuser, too. Can't recommend a product more than this one - love.it!
Best styling gel!

I've been using Cheribe Styling Hair gel for a few weeks now, and it's become a staple in my daily routine. The texture is smooth and lightweight, making it easy to apply without feeling greasy or heavy. It gives my hair a soft, natural hold that lasts all day without stiffness or flaking. I love how it defines my curls while keeping frizz under control, even in humid weather. The scent is light and pleasant—noticeable but not overpowering. It also seems to nourish my hair, leaving it shinier and more manageable over time. Whether I'm going for a casual look or something more polished, this gel gives me the flexibility I need without weighing my hair down. A little goes a long way, so the product lasts quite a while too. Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality and performance. Cheribe nailed it—great for daily use and perfect for anyone looking to style while keeping hair healthy.
Love this for my hair!

I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this hair product! Between the smell, the cute bottle and the way my hair looks and feels? This is my new favorite styling gel! I have 2b type hair so it’s more on the wavy side, but with this product my “curls” have never looked better! They’re more defined than ever. My hair has felt so light weight and not heavy at all like most gels every single time I’ve used this. I love how pretty and girly it smells and leaves my hair smelling throughout the whole entire day that people even compliment me! Overall I’m so happy I have found a new hair product I love and that works for ME! This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review.

I’ve tried this gelée two ways, on its own, and layered over a curl cream in place of my usual gel. My routine is always the same: apply on soaking wet hair, comb through for even distribution, scrunch, then finish with a microfiber towel and let air dry. When I used it on top of a curl cream, I got beautiful, soft definition with a touchable feel and a clean finish. No stiffness, no stickiness, no 90s gel flashbacks, just bouncy, natural curls with a relaxed vibe. When I tried it on its own, I was still impressed, but I did notice a few strands that didn’t fully clump or define. That said, it still gave a soft shape to my waves and curls, and I don’t know many gels that can stand alone and still deliver that level of definition. I’m honestly torn between 4 and 5 stars. The results are really good, especially when paired with a curl cream, but since the product doesn’t claim to work on its own, it’s hard to fault it for the couple of loose strands. This product was given in exchange for an honest opinion.

Soft Hold Styling Gelee - 1 month ago
I gave Cheribe’s Soft Hold Styling Gelée a try and found it to be a decent option. The texture is lightweight and easy to apply, and it helps smooth flyaways without feeling heavy. It’s great for a clean, frizz-free look on casual days. If you're looking for curl definition or coiling—this isn’t it. Despite the “soft hold” claim, it left my hair feeling noticeably crunchy. With that said, it didn’t flake or dry out my hair, so it’s not a total miss. I’d say this gelée is better suited for looser curl types or anyone looking for a light hold with minimal styling fuss. It’s a solid 3-star product—not amazing, but definitely worth trying if you keep expectations realistic. This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review

When I first tried this gel, it felt so lightweight that I ended up using more than I needed without realizing it. I noticed I overdid it once it dried and the cast set in 😅 BUT it didn’t weigh my hair down at all! I fluffed it out, and my curls looked super glossy, moisturized, & full of volume. Compared to other gels with heavier casts, which usually keep my waves in a looser curl the next day, I did notice this one needed a bit more refreshing to maintain that definition. Otherwise, it softened into more of a loose wave. Which I can see it looking even better as my hair grows out for that mermaid wave. This gel would probably be perfect for those that have have tighter curls that hold their shape w/out needing a harder gel. It’s super hydrating, leaves the hair soft and shiny, and still gives bounce and body without any stiffness. I got this product for free in exchange for this review!

This product is something I was very pleasantly surprised by! I have about 2b waves and don't wear my hair curly all the time, but when I do I will not be diffusing and I want minimal products. I paired this with a curl cream and got some great shine and definition! This worked as well as some other more expensive gels. Love that this is easily available and easy to use! It forms a nice cast that leaves curls pretty frizz free and shiny! This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review

I have tried Cheribe Soft Hold Styling Gelée and it works great to style my hair. I like the container and that it is easy to get out the right amount of gel that I need for my hair.

I have wavy-to-curly hair, and I use both mousse and gel when I "plop" my hair every time I wash my hair. I also bleach and dye my hair. So, I am always looking for products to repair the damage that the bleach causes. I absolutely love products that are "two-fers" - one product that does multiple things. A gelee that also repairs hair bonds, hydrates, and prevents future damage?! Sign me up! I used the amount shown in the image above, which was perfectly effective for my mid-back length hair. It performed just as well as the gel that I used before trying this one, but it also has all of those added benefits that my other gel doesn't. The gelee was not tacky, and it didn't leave my hair stiff. No cast was imparted, either. With the bottle being 8 oz, I don't even know how long this bottle will last me, and I think it's a great value.This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely loved the cheribe Soft Hold Styling Gelée! It worked wonders on my curly hair, giving me soft, defined curls without any crunch or stiffness. The texture of the product feels like cashmere in your hands — smooth, light, and luxurious. I was impressed by how well it tamed frizz while still letting my curls bounce naturally. It has a soft hold, so it’s perfect if you want a more effortless, touchable look rather than something super structured. Plus, it didn’t leave any residue or flakiness, which is a huge win. Overall, it made my curls look healthy, shiny, and beautifully styled. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!

I tried the Cheribe Beauty: Soft Hold Style Gel on my 2C curls and honestly, I really liked it. It is really easy to use, I applied it directly to my hair right out of the shower. It helped me achieve a natural wave look without feeling heavy or crunchy. The hold is soft but effective. I also noticed there's barely any fragrance, which I appreciate since I am sensitive to fragrances. The packaging? Completely adorable! Love the hot pink! Overall, I would recommend it if you're looking for something that enhances your waves and gives you a soft, natural finish. *I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.*

This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review. Cheribe Soft Hold Syling Gelee is truly soft hold. I have coarse, half curly/half wavy hair that is naturally frizzy. But I don't like having "crispy" looking hair that results from using mousse or a stronger holding gel. Sadly, curl creams alone don't provide enough control for me. I have found that applying this gelee after my leave in conditioner and styling cream works well for me. I let my hair air dry and before styling, I reapply another bit of the gelee to my hair and scrunch, then lightly spray with hairspray to hold everything in place. For me, the beauty of this product is that it doesn't make my hair look greasy or weighed down. I can reapply it to second day hair and revive my waves/curls without it leaving a build-up or weighing it down. My hair is shiny, pleasantly scented, and doesn't look wet or crispy all day.

Having tried many curl products, I at last came upon one that delivers without compromise. The Cheribe Styling Gelée has quickly become a go-to in my routine. My hair is dense with a mix of type 3 and 4 curls, and managing both definition and moisture is usually a challenge—but this gelée nails it. It has a silky, lightweight texture that glides on effortlessly and doesn’t leave my hands or hair feeling sticky. Unlike other styling products that can leave curls stiff or crunchy, this one keeps them soft, bouncy, and well-defined for days. I usually apply it to damp hair post-leave-in, and it consistently gives me long-lasting, touchable curls. The scent is another bonus—subtle, clean, and not overwhelming. Plus, flaking has been practically nonexistent, which is a huge win. It’s clear that this formula was thoughtfully created with textured hair in mind. It enhances my curl pattern naturally, and I’m already planning to stock up. This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review.

I tried Cheribe Soft Hold Styling Gelee for 7 days. This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review. Let me begin with the attractive packaging with easy open/close flip top. This lightweight gel leaves hair shiny, feeling soft, hydrated and less damaged. It can also be used as a heat protection to prevent future damage. The scent is pleasant but I wasn't crazy about it. It could have smelled better. The gel had good ability to define curls and provide volume. The hold and definition didn't last all day but was nice as long as it lasted. It can be used for hair types 2A-4C. There was no flaking noted. It was a nice experience and I do recommend this product if you're looking for a light soft hold with shine.

The Cheribe Soft Hold Styling Gelee is a great gel! The gel itself smells SO good, it gives me beachy vibes. The consistency is perfect - it is NOT a sticky gel. I have wavy hair (I believe the correct term is "Irish curls") and this definitely helped to maximize my waves and keep them from getting too frizzy. It applies to the hair nicely while wet. This did not make my hair crunchy, which is a big positive for me. I love the ingredients of this gel. I've never seen a gel (or any hair product for that matter) that had aloe Vera and red algae! I didn't know what cheribe was before this (a type of plant)! There is a lot of product in the bottle so I can see this lasting for a long while! Also, it's worth reading the packaging for the story for how the brand came to be, as it's quite fascinating! I definitely recommend this gel and I'm excited to continue using it!
