Highlights
- We incorporated natural hydrator Marshmallow Root into our beauty recipe to help detangle and moisturize hair for hair retention and a finish.
- We whisk our jelly Curl Maker and infuse it with Nettle Root to ease and prevent scalp inflammation.
- We want every style to be defined, but soft and smooth, so we’ve added notes of Agave Extract, which are natural humectants to fight even the frizziest hair for long – lasting curls.
- Easy to use for wash-n-go styling

Use our Curl Maker to wrap your hair in the sweet mixture of sweetness of Aloe Leaf Juice, Nettle and Marshmallow root. For scrumptious, bouncy curls that are soft to the touch. This is a handcrafted recipe to define, smooth and provide strands back to life. In our beauty kitchen our experts start with sweet extracts of marshmallow and agave that are then melted into a gourmet oil base of coconut and pomegranate. Layered with botanical juices of seaweed and aloe, we finish it with an enriching infusion of vitamins E and B-12 for optimal hair nourishment.

Q: Is this a good product for hold?
submitted by yessie - 3 years ago

Q: My hair is naturally straight I want to make curly hair so can I use this product to make my hair curly if not what should I use
submitted by Paula Boynton - 6 years ago
A: there is no product that makes straight hair curly, unless you get a perm
submitted byMelissa - 2 years agoA: Hello, If your hair is naturally straight, this is not the product for you. Curl Maker is specifically designed for people with curly/coily/kinky hair. It enhances their natural curl pattern while reducing frizz. It's a great product, but not for the hair type you've described. I would recommend you braid your or even try bantu knots (look on YouTube), sleep in them, and release them in the morning. This may give you a temporary curly/wavvy texture that you desire. Good luck!

Q: Would this work for caucasian 2C/3A curls w/fine to medium thick strands, a lot of frizz (from DevaCurl damage) & body, but not that much hair. The body & curls kind of hide that I don't have tons of hair. Thank you!
submitted by Andreaj421 - 2 years ago
A: I have a loose curl pattern, and this product gave my curls such definition without that gummy or crunchy feel or look. Curl Maker is now the staple of my hair regiment.

submitted by Beautiful over 50 - 3 years ago
A: This product is good for all hair curl types and textures.
submitted byBeauty Advisor - 3 years ago
Q: I have 3C/4A hair. I was just wondering if this product would give my hair a good amount of definition. I was also wondering if it left a gel coat making it crunchy if you know what I mean.

Came into this gel with high expectations based on reviews I’ve read/watched. Pros - smells good, leaves my hair feeling SO soft, provides good definition Cons - FLAKES!, doesn’t leave a good cast I will likely buy more Camille Rose products just because I loved the way my hair felt, but hoping I don’t run in to the flaking issue again. And no, my flaking is not a result of mixing with incompatible products. I fully rinsed out my conditioner & ONLY used this product to style.
Works well

This product is a little pricey. However, it did define and elongated my curls. It works great with Camille Rose moisture milk. This gel does not have a strong hold though. I have 3c -4a curl texture. Overall I’m satisfied so I would repurchase .

If you're like me, you've struggled to find a hair product that is at once moisturizing, curl-defining, not made from harsh chemicals, and doesn't smell bad. This product does all of that and more. I think I'm addicted to it! It's quite expensive so I can't use it daily, but it is definitely my go-to for any day that I want to wear my curls down instead of in the ever-damaging bun/ponytail. The smell is great, the product slips easily through my hair and it's easy enough to rinse out without having to do a full wash. It feels a little dry when applying, but trust the process! I usually take a bit more care when I stye with this as I find it's best to part and work in sections so you can get as much saturation with as little product as possible. It's changed the game for me and actually made me fall in love with how beautiful my curls can be.
Expensive but worth it!

Of all the different gels if tried for defining my curls and/or doing slick back styles this is the very best. It doesn’t smell weird or musty after your hair dries and it is actually moisturizing? I feel like I don’t have to use so much product which makes the price worth it for me. You need to try it. Everytime I use it my hair turns out great!!
Love it!

I have very curly (3C) hair and this gel is great! It has good hold and isn’t drying.

Wasn’t crazy about this the first several times I tried it (I’ve always air dried my curls). Finally bought a diffuser attachment for my hair dryer and gave it another shot. It works amazing and made my hair so much curlier than it usually is! For reference, I have medium length 2c hair and used four pumps throughout my hair.
Good product

First of all, praises, the product is not bad it really does a great job of elongating your curls. It smells okay and the texture can be tolerated. However, this causes so much buildup and flakes, even after washing the hair, it’s still a problem. Also, the itching is out of this world. If the negatives were positives, I would buy this product often. Too bad, back to the drawing board.

This is the best curling product experienced on my thin curl. Just need a dab on wet hair and crunch. I dislike the price is a bit too high for not being a true organic product.

Based on these reviews people either love or hate this product. I have 2C/3A wavy curls that need moisture and definition. I used the Honey leave in, plus Curl Love on soaking wet hair, then sectionals applied the Curl Maker to each strand. After diffusing for an hour, most of my hair is still stringy. I have used the same leave ins with the Honey mouse and that works much better for me.
Great stuff… when you get a good bottle.

The last couple of times I’ve ordered this for pick up the color and scent was off, it was darker and had a strong alcohol scent to it, I had to return to store and exchange for another bottle that looked more fresh. Not sure if it’s a batch issue or if they’ve gone bad but it’s happened a couple times which is a shame because this is one of my favorite products it gives great definition when applied to wet hair.
Horrible experience

This product was extremely flakey regardless of the application method. Didn't hold curls for long. Broke me out along my hairline and on my forehead. Pricey for quality.

I absolutely hated this stuff. I used the curl maker in combination with the Camille Rose honey hydrate leave-in. My hair initially felt soft the first day or two then seemed to get pretty dry. This stuff FLAKED like crazy. I thoroughly clarified my hair before using it and when I tell you I was VERRRRY light handed with the product… I was VERY light handed, yet and still it flaked like mad. When I parted my hair to restyle I found disgusting spots of glob and tiny little balls of the product all throughout my hair. The site of it made me gag and almost throw up. It was so disgusting. Back to Target this goes! I bought this in the past and disliked it so I thought I’d give it another chance and this time I HATE it! Never again.
