This hair gel offers a lightweight formula that many guests appreciate for its ability to define curls without the crunch. While it works well for some, others find it drying and lacking hold, especially in humid conditions. The pleasant scent and non-sticky texture are frequently praised, making it a popular choice for those seeking a soft, defined look. However, results can vary significantly based on hair type and product combinations.

Pills off my hair
This gel dries out my hair and scalp, and pills off once dry. I swear every time I touch my hair it comes off on my fingers.

This does not work for fine hair. The gel does not provide a light hold. It is more of a medium or strong hold.

Light hold gel
Maybe in winter. Not hydrating enough for summer. Quite drying, but good hold.

Great hold for a light hold
Light gel, doesn’t weigh down my curls but holds thru the day. The gentle smell is an added bonus.

Gel
This girl formula is amazing except the only reason why it’s not a five star for me is because my hair doesn’t hold well. The lightbulb isn’t for me but otherwise the gel is amazing if that’s something you need.

light and flowing
This hair gel is so very light. It leaves my hair feeling so light, soft, and not that crunchie and stiff feeling in my hair. The other hair products leave in conditioner and hair custard leave my hair feeling soft and yet controls my frizzy curls.

Give me back my time & money
At some point I fear the formula maybe changed, between the previous packaging for this product and now. This has been my go to for years but I’ve noticed my hair over time has begun lacking definition, is dried out after styling between washes, and has been experiencing more breakage ever since I bought the repackaged version of this product. I ruled and trialed out almost every other aspect of my hair care routine besides this, and it is the most disappointing realization. I’ll be sad to let it go
absolutely never again

Only gel I use
I love this gel because it doesn't weigh down my curls as my hair is super fine and thin. It works great with the curl cream !

Love this gel!
My curls are permed curls, but I found Rizos after searching for new curly hair products, and I love it! All of the products I have purchased, including this gel, smell wonderful and make my hair shiny and voluminous without weighing down my curls. I do have to scrunch my hair after the gel dries to finish the look, but it's lightweight and works great. Excellent product!
