Strong hold for sure!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very strong hold gel. It is the only thing that gets my curls to last several days. A little goes a very long way! It smells amazing.

Strong cast but not as strong hold!
Super strong cast but didn’t feel the hold was necessarily as good as some other gels i’ve used, and doesn’t feel like it’ll last more than a couple of days. my hair didn’t have much movement even after i scrunched the gel out. also was quite flakey but could be the curl cream i used with it.

Exactly what I needed
My hair is fine and curly (3b). I recently got permed extensions so I stopped straightening my hair and needed all new hair products. I'm looking for a gel that would keep my hairstyle intact, I came across Curlsmith products. They've been my favorite so far and this in shower fixer kept my style for a whole week. I sprayed with water about halfway through the week to revive curls, and they bounced right back. My hair felt soft and not full of product.

Tames the frizz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This does a great job taming the frizz and keeping my curls for a few extra days before my hair goes “poof”! I’m still playing around finding the right amount, but so far “more is better” seems to be the rule.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this gel! It has a good hold, without feeling sticky or crunchy, and really helps define my type 3c curls. You don't need a lot, and doesn't seem to weigh hair down, which is great when you have fine curls!

On balance, a great product
Great product that holds my curls all day without frizz. I’ve been using it for at least a year. Has anyone else noticed lately (my last 2 or 3 bottles) that there are solid little pieces in the product? They weren’t there in past bottles. Sometimes they clog the opening and that gets frustrating. I love the product, but don’t love those little pieces.

Works for me
Life-changing! Controls frizz for longer but it becomes sticky on hands. I'll buy again. PS. The new design is so disappointing. . . .

Great hold for fine hair!
I have 2B/2C curls and fine hair. I use this with a curl cream (Kitsch) and Serum (Treluxé). The Curlsmith Hydro Jelly didn't have quite enough hold but this stuff is perfect.

BEST ever!!
I have tried every curly hair product over the past 20 years and this is the BEST! If it ever gets discontinued, I will begin shaving my head.

An Unexpected Miracle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3b low porosity/low density curls that have been my arch nemesis for years. I'm never satisfied with how they look super defined and producty OR with lighter creams that don't define and look greasy. It's been a battle. The In-Shower Style Fixer is AMAZING for my hair!!! I apply this (and only this - no leave-in) to damp hair - NOT soaking wet and apply barely a pea-size amount to each of four sections. I air dry and actually get a cast!! The ever-elusive cast! Once dry and scrunched, my curls are defined, soft and don't feel gunky with product! I feel like I've finally found my Holy Grail and finally feel confident with my curls. Thank you, Curlsmith!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Highest definition gel. Holds the ringlets in place. It can get sticky though. Less is more with this gel. Use a smaller amount than normal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one thing I always keep stocked up on! A little can go a long way, which is one of the things I love most about this product. This is the final thing I use when I'm styling my hair, I always make sure my hair is still pretty wet too. My hair likes to frizz at the ends quickly, and this solution does a great job about slowing that process down. Even after a few days, my hair still has lots of bounce, which I think makes this a holy grail of products!

Why I Chiise Curlsmith
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me it is the only anti frizz styler that works. I’ve tried many they either leave my hair frizzy or or make my hair greasy and limp. Apart from that I would choose Curlsmith anyway my hair doesn’t feel the same after trying out other brands, they just don’t measure up
