Description
Keep your natural waves beautiful and shiny with the Original Curling Custard Gel from Kinky Curly. This styling gel will moisturize your hair, leaving each curl perfectly defined. The all-natural botanical formula is designed to reduce bulk while adding shine and lasting hold, so you can say goodbye to frizzy, untamed curls and enjoy your strengthened and nourished curls.
Utilizing the humectant properties of the agave nectar, Curling Custard will give weight to your hair, define your curls, remove frizz, provide long-lasting hold and shine without ever being greasy, crunchy or drying.
**NOTE- This product is designed to work alone but ultimate curl definition and length can be achieved when used with KNOT TODAY as a leave-in conditioner.
How to Use:
Apply the Kinky-Curly Knot Today (for best results) on very wet hair*. Apply custard evenly in sections to very wet hair^.
Smooth the custard into each section from roots to ends. If sections start to dry out, spray water into hair and then add custard. Thicker tighter curls need more product and loose wavy curls use less.
Use more product for very controlled curls and use less product if you want more fullness and body. Allow hair to air dry, do not touch hair while it is drying or it will start to frizz. Then dry gently scrunch out the crunch.
* If it is not wet enough your hair will dry sticky.
^ If it is not applied evenly you will get frizz.

Q: I have a tapered TWA. How would I use this product to get curl definition?
submitted by HonnyBrown - 8 years ago
A: Use the Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave in Conditioner and then apply the Curling Custard to your hair.
submitted bySjanae90 - 8 years agoA: What works for me is applying the gel to my hair while soaking wet. Apply custard section by section as raking the custard through your hair with your fingers. Similar to how you'd do a wash and go. Hope this helps! This product works better for my curl definition, better than any other product I've used in the past.
submitted byMegan - 8 years agoA: I agree with Megan's comment. I have a TWA as well. Hair should be very wet. When you find the right ratio between water and the product, you will get GREAT curl definition. It may take a couple of times of experimenting, but when you get it down, you won't be disappointed.

Q: Does this have a strong fragrance?
submitted by Andie - 6 years ago
A: It's a pretty faint fragrance to my nose. Nice, but definitely very light and not anything that will compete with other fragrances.
submitted byCarolH - 6 years agoA: I don't think it's strong. It has a sweet candy, kinda like cotton candy smell.
submitted byErica C - 6 years ago
Q: Does this product have a strong and moisturizing hold?
submitted by Liv - 8 years ago
A: I think so. Their are stronger holds with general styling gels but those don't curl your hair. Kinky Curly has a pretty good hold that rubs off fairly easily (it doesn't stay through the night).
submitted byAnnette - 8 years agoA: I have used Kinky Curly for the past 2 years. The Kinky Curly Custard does NOT rub off. Yes, it has a Strong and Moisturizing hold.
submitted bySjanae90 - 8 years ago

Too Expensive

AM - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
When this product first came out it was $14.99. The significant price increase for the same amount of product is ridiculous. I do like the moisture this gel gives your hair however, it doesn’t last that long in your hair and is really sticky. I would add another gel to help with that. When the price went to $19.99 and now over $20.00, they have lost me as a customer, forever.

I wanted to love this gel but the smell is very sweet, almost like artificial cake batter. I didn’t want my hair to smell like a frosted desert. I will stick to the Mop Top curly custard

LB - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is the best curly custard out there. I have kinky curly hair and this product works with their leave in conditioner (Knot Today) and a whole lot of water. It gives me the stretch I need and my washing goes can last for up to two weeks. I just wish Target still carried the larger jar.

Ali - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This product left white flakes all over my hair and as I walked around they would fly off and end up all over my clothes, furniture, etc. It also provided very little definition and hold. Also has a strong smell that I didn't find appealing.

I absolutely love this styler. I use to use it years ago when I was transitioning in my natural hair journey, and recently circled back to it and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It is expensive for the amount of product you get, but you don't need a lot so it will last you a few wash n go's at least.

Jacey - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
This product gives some definition to my wavy curly hair and I thought it was ok but it is extremely drying. I couldn’t figure out why my hair has been so dry the past few months. I have been deep conditioning my hair a lot and it would always end up dry and frizzy again. I finally realized it is because of this product. This product is not cheap and I will never use it again!
Amazing Styler

Agalychnia - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
Wonderful, dependable styler for years. Works great on 4a hair. Very hydrating & defining. It speeds up the wash n go process. Only drawback is it is pricey & flakes a bit when used with their leave in conditioner after a couple of days. The flakes aren’t as visible in the hair but when your hair moves throughout the day flakes fall on your clothes & it shows up on dark colors. If that gets solved without impacting quality that would be fantastic.
