 Curl Defining Styling Gel

I'm so happy to have found this line! I love it so much so far (just started using it). About my hair: I have wavy/curly hair (mostly 2B-2C wavy with a bit of 3A) that is fine but there's a ton of it. I prefer clean beauty and avoid silicones, phthalates, parabens, etc. I've been using a well-known clean beauty brand for the last several years and while I like it, I don't love it. I was really looking for a change and I'm so happy to have stumbled across this brand! I love everything about these products so far - the light yet natural scent, the clean ingredients, supporting a woman-owned small business, the experience of using the products, the packaging, and the results. My scalp/skin is sensitive to cocamidopropyl betaine/hydroxysultaine and similar surfactants, and these are almost impossible to avoid completely. The fact that this line does not use these surfactants is the cherry on top (they're common allergens but they're in everything so if your scalp is sensitive, maybe try avoiding them and see if that helps you too). I'm using the shampoo, conditioner, cream, and gel and these products together are working great for me!

This is my favorite gel! It's super hydrating and gives me so much definition. The shine I get with this gel is like no other and I love how lightweight it is compared to other gels I've tried. I have wavy/curly hair. It's been a game changer for my hair. Do yourself a favor and try this ASAP!

This gel is great! It works wonderfully at keeping my hair frizz-free and hydrated at the same time. I like that it doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky at all, and it has a lightweight hold. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a clean gel.

This is the holy grail of curly hair gels. I usually hate gels because they make my hair feel like dry ramen noodles. This gel gives me the most beautiful with a slight hold. I just scrunch it in diffused it and my curls last for three days straight. It feels so clean and lightweight too.

I have been using treluxe for years and was recommended this Ocoa brand by someone at work. I give this 5 stars after a few uses. It smells great, it has great texture and viscosity, and the times I have used it my curls were extra defined and fairly frizz free. The hard part about reviewing curly hair products is that getting your hair right is like a daily science experiment. It can be one product doing all the work or it could be a combination of products working well together, it can be dependent on so many factors. For example I live in Florida where humidity is hard on curls. But I have also experienced enough gels that were an immediate no for me, so I am going to be optimistic about this one.
