Description
Our best-seller, Advanced Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Gel, defines and helps protect your curls. The multitasker offers a soft hold with a crunch-free, lightweight finish that adds definition to lock in moisture and lock out humidity. Formulated with wheat protein and flexible styling polymers, your curls stay intact even as heat and humidity rise. Our signature high-performance Anti-Frizz Nano Technology™ with sericin, a protein derived from silk, forms an invisible barrier to block out humidity that causes frizz. “Nano” Technology refers to the size of the molecules in the formula, which are small enough to penetrate the cuticle and provide maximum frizz-fighting benefits. Safe for color-treated curls, this gel also has a dedicated UV filter that helps protect against damage from environmental aggressors.

No humidity control
Tried on wavy and curly hair - terrible still frizzy. And not good for texture. I would recommend to try something else perhaps with heat this might work better. I was looking for something that I didn’t have use heat activated. This was a bust for natural curls. 👎🏻

Repurchase
This is one of my favorite gels. I have repurchased it many times. It works well in every season on my fine, wavy hair.

Weak hold
Clothes are lost. Even with fine and medium strand hair and medium porosity hair this gel does not hold up. It looks okay on day one but then day to the curl while it's still there and you can refresh with water it's just lost. Perhaps others loved it but it doesn't work with my hair type.

Stained my clothes
This was previously my holy grail gel. It gave me amazing waves and curls. I shower at night and style my hair and noticed all my sleep shirts were stained. Unfortunately, it seems permanently.

something changed
This used to be my holy grail gel. It gave soft defined curls, and looked so beautiful. I used it for 5+ years. Unfortunately as of 1/2025 something has changed. I only get crispy fried looking curls. I've tried multiple bottles as I thought it might just be an issue with one, but the results were the same.

Best Gel by Far
I know products work differently for everyone but for my hair, this gel is by far the best. It does not weigh down my hair making my hair much curlier (I have fine hairs but lots of hair). It also has no smell (I can't stand Curl Pattern for this reason). I went through a period of trying to find something better of maybe the same at a lower price, but this is the one from now on.

Been using this for years
Been using this product for years. Hope the company doesn't stop producing it. It keeps the curl in place but doesn't stiffen it. Calms down the frizzes.

Best gel I've used for wavy hair
Since I finally started embracing my wavy hair over the last year, I've tried several gels and this is by far my favorite. I have fine 2B/2C hair and apply on wet hair before scrunching and diffusing, then break the cast. It makes my waves really pop! It's lightweight enough that it doesn't weigh down my fine hair, but still gives me lasting hold, even on rainy, snowy, or windy days. (Disclaimer: I don't live in a humid area, but have traveled to humid places and still had good luck - no frizz even on rain-drenched days at the coast.) Some reviewers mention the smell, but I personally find it fine - not too overpowering. Besides, I like how the gel makes my waves feel, so I think it's worth the fragrance.

So Disappointed
My hair is fine to medium thick and dense. It absolutely sucks. No volume, fine. No definition? On my wash day/best day? Its to toss out. I had barely any curl/wave. My hair was soaking wet. I applied enough product. I scrunched, I was careful with diffusing. I did not change any technique as I had with other gels with amazing results. Soo many pieces were utterly undefined, where strands in the same clump and curl pattern wouldn't even stick together. It was as if I had woke up on day 5 hair with limp curls.

Guided control heat and humidity gel
The gel works pretty good on my coarse, dry hair, I would prefer a better cast for my waves and curls to scrunch out after I diffuse my hair, but if you prefer a softer hold you will love this gel.
