Description

WHY USE CURLSMITH FRIZZ RESCUE CURL RETAINER:
Non-sticky jelly styler providing exceptional frizz reduction and curl definition with medium hold, without stiffness or crunch.

HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
An absolute rock star of a styler, this non-sticky jelly will provide perfect definition to your curls, coils or waves. Not only does curl retainer provide frizz reduction by 79% for up to 72Hrs*, but it also helps define your curls with a medium hold, without any stiffness or crunch. This is all thanks to our special tri-oil recipe, which includes sunflower, watermelon, and argan oils.

This styler is truly complete with a refreshing scent of mango, papaya, citrus and aloe.

    Miracle Product!

    I cannot overstate how much I absolutely love this Frizz Rescue because it does exactly what it promises! I have fine 2C curls and have been repairing damage from over processing that occurred earlier this year. I've an absolute salons worth of care and styling products lining my counter and cabinets but nothing was doing much to help for long enough to get me through the entire day with my hair intact. During 21DOB I bought this and used it to delightful results, prompting me to buy backup when it returned at the end of the sale. After I wash and condition, while still in the shower, I spread a nickel sized amount of this between my hands and scrunch it into my sopping wet hair while squeezing out excess water. Then just let it all air dry. My curls form beautifully and HOLD the whole day while remaining soft to the touch. I'm just bowled over by the results and hope they never change the formulation or discontinue the product as I'm now a buyer for life!

    Gorgeous Curls

    Absolutely Amazing As a curly girly with very frizzy hair I’m always trying to find products and this is now my go to! It smells amazing and I can always tell such a difference in my hair with more definition than without using it. I normally use this as a leave in, then use a curl crème and a gel and this is my absolute go to routine for frizzy hair! May be a bit pricier but it is definitely worth the splash!

    Finally - this is it!

    After spending lots of $$ experimenting with different products, I finally found the perfect combination for my fine but thick wavy and sometimes too soft/puffy hair. I use the Curl Quenching conditioning wash, sometimes adding a tiny bit of conditioner and combing it through before rinsing, and then applying the Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer, as directed, on soaking wet hair and scrunching. It leaves a medium cast that breaks easily with more scrunching and actually results in soft curls. Everything else I've used that claims to leave hair soft after breaking the cast has left my hair super dry and stiff. I love this product!

    I like the product but...

    The product is good but the bottle design is terrible for the product consistency. The bottle is a really hard plastic that is difficult to squeeze. Even with unscrewing the cap it's hard to get the product out. I don't have that problem with the hydro gel. For that reason I wouldn't buy the frizz rescue again.

    Bottle problem

    I really enjoyed this product. It gives my hair nice hold and keeps the frizz at bay all day long. The only problem I have with it is it's very difficult to get the product out of the bottle and that's why I'm giving it lower stars.

    Does the job!

    I have the most uncontrollable hair in the world - nothing works for more than a couple of hours and I'd pretty much given up on it. However this gel, combined with the weightless air dry cream, has given me tumbling ringlets that last all day! A miracle!

    Favorite product

    I have very loose curls and waves. The hair at my crown is dryer than underneath and doesnt curl as well. With this product their is very little difference in curl texture/pattern because it brings out the curl so well. This one takes the place of wny curl cream/mousse or gel combo. It adds moisture without weighing down hair. 10/10.

    Changed the formula and it's terrible now!

    I've purchased this product several times and loved it, my son also loved it and had started to use it too. I bought 4 bottles last month to make sure we had enough for both of us and the product formula changed and is terrible now. I would not recommend!

    My new favourite gel

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy Curlsmith products in general. They are high quality and leave my hair feeling and smelling amazing. I wanted to try this gel for the antifrizz line and it was a game changer. I didn’t like the souffle gel on my hair, but this I love ❤️

    Great product

    Put the product on and once hair is dry give it a little crunch to loosen the hold. Works well

    Definate frizz reduction!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My hair has been dry, flat & frizzy for so long despite trying multiple products but not anymore! I really like the curl retainer. I can put it on a little heavier to get more hold or keep it on the lighter side and let my hair air dry while still getting bouncy curls. My hair seems healthier with less frizz and more shine since starting Curlsmith products.

    My current HG gel (3A/B curls)

    I can't figure out what the issue is that people have with this gel!! I LOVE it!!! This and Hyrdo Style Flexi Jelly are my 2 top gels from Curlsmith. I tend to use this one on humid/rainy days, as it has a bit more hold for me than Flexi Jelly does. I like to use the Feather Light Protein Cream underneath both gels, mainly because my curls love protein and it's light enough that - unlike most other creams - it doesn't weigh my curls down. I use a lot of this gel - like a palm full - every time I use it. But I'm like that with most gels because I like excellent, all-day definition. I like shiny, bouncy, non-crunchy curls with lots of definition, and I get that with Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer. I am not crazy about the other matching products in this line. But I do LOVE this gel.
