## Description

Product Description CURLSMITH SHINE GEL Our Shine Gel is the perfect product if you want to achieve glossy hair without compromising on hold. This gel will lock your curls in a strong cast which will provide extreme definition, long-lasting frizz control and weather protection for your curls. The cast will feel crunchy to the touch while drying, but this is only temporary. Once the hair is fully dry you just need to scrunch out the crunch with a little bit of oil to make your curls soft and bouncy again. Fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, this super gentle gel is suitable for everyone, even the most sensitive scalps! The absence of perfume or essential oils means it really doesn't smell of anything (and it doesn't stink like some other options out there, we promise!), so you can easily layer it with all your favourite products or hair fragrance, without clashing with their scent. OUR MENU OF HARDWORKING INGREDIENTS Blend of styling agents that create a strong cast to offer humidity protection, frizz control, extreme definition and long-lasting hold. Fragrant blend of natural Hops , Jasmine Flower and Lemon Peel . HOW TO USE Step 1 Rub the product between your hands and apply on soaking wet hair with the “praying hands” method, smoothing from top to ends. Step 2 Flip your head upside down and scrunch gently with upwards motions to encourage curl to spring back and form their pattern. Step 3 Air dry or diffuse. Make sure you flip your head in all directions while drying to increase volume. Do not touch hair while drying. Step 4 Once completely dry, scrunch again to 'break the cast', the crunchy feeling gels greate, and make your hair super soft and bouncy.

Review: Curlysmith shine gel - I have to say I am going from non named mouse to the curlysmith gel so finding level of strong not strong. Still looking at tutorials checking the way it should be used and what other products to use with. Not a strong smell to it. Feel I can't give proper review as still learning how to use product.
Review: After Some Trial and Error, I Really Like This Fragrance-Free Gel - I discovered my hair was wavy a couple months ago after a major haircut and have been trying to find haircare products that better suit my new texture and do. I must confess that being an 80's kid who lived through an era of highly sculpted hair and who was very happy to see the back end of an "architectural hair" trend that never flattered me, I haven't used gel in years. But in doing my research (*cough* YouTubing), many talked about the importance of gel in maintaining curl/wave shape, particularly if you have fine hair or fragile curls. So I worked to overcome my aversion. One thing I'll say off the bat is that this is definitely not a gel I'd use in its undiluted state on dry hair, and the manufacturers agree, noting it should be applied to sopping wet hair. I was worried with all that water that I'd dilute it too much at first, and I overcompensated by adding way too much gel for my hair. After I got a well-nigh unbreakable gel cast, I made adjustments the next time...and used a bit too little. Since I'm new to the waviness and to this method of applying gel, I figure that's probably par for the course. But after tweaking over the course of a few wash days, I've finally come to the right amount. I really like the fact that this gel is fragrance-free because I have both sensitive skin and asthma -- I've had immediate skin reactions and asthmatic attacks from products in the past, so I'm always a bit trepidatious when I have to select new products. This gel does have a light natural ingredient smell that one can smell if one sniffs it in the container -- the scent reminds me a bit of Elmer's glue -- but I don't notice any odor when actually applying it, and doesn't set off any reactions for me, which is great! The gel does add a nice amount of shine to my hair, but it really doesn't moisturize, so I prefer to use it after applying a leave-in conditioner when I'm using the shampoo and conditioner from the same line. When I'm using a heavier, coconut-oil shampoo and rinse-out conditioner, though, I don't need a leave-in, too, so the need for a leave-in really does depend on what other products are being used -- the gel does help me form nice wave clumps as long as my hair is sufficiently moisturized. Another way I've been using this gel -- considering how important emulsifying with lots of water seems to be in getting the best outcome with this product, I decided to do a little experiment and mixed just a little of the gel into a smaller spray bottle full of water and tried applying that mixture to dry hair on wash days or as a second-day refresher when I haven't previously applied gel. I found that if I shake the bottle to mix and then spray my hair until it's thoroughly dampened, I can get a nice, very light cast on the hair that is easy to smooth once the hair is dry. So while I was a bit resistant to using gel and fought a bit at first to get the application right, I'm really enjoying this product now and find it suits my needs for a product that a) won't make me wheeze or get a rash upon application, b) won't weigh it down too much (if I don't overapply) and c) will hold the delicate waves in my fine hair. It may not be the right product for everyone, but all in all, I'm pleased with the way it works on my fine hair.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the curls look wet after styling is complete?**
A: Beautifully shiny and curls well defined

**Q: What product combination should one use to create a wet look/beach wavy look on curly or wavy hair? Def want a wet look w/o all the chemicals~My hope**
A: There’s a curl & style “milk” by Shae moisture that I think you could pair really well with this shine gel to give that curly beach look!

**Q: What are the complete ingredients?**
A: WATER (AQUA), POLYQUATERNIUM-69, GLYCERIN, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, HUMULUS LUPULUS (HOPS) EXTRACT, JASMINUM OFFICINALE (JASMINE) FLOWER EXTRACT, CITRUS LIMON (LEMON) PEEL EXTRACT, CARBOMER, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, DISODIUM EDTA, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, SODIUM BENZOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, IODOPROPYNYL BUTYLCARBAMATE.

**Q: Is this good for fine hair? I swear everything I’ve tried so far weighs my hair down. I have fine, low density and wavy hair that gets oily easily.**
A: I would recommend you check out the Shine Jelly instead for fine hair, it's a lighter consistency so it will definitely not weigh it down! Also, make sure you use very little on soaking wet hair, so it spreads better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for fine, medium porosity wavy hair!
*by C***A on 6 June 2024*

I've used quite a few gels over my curly journey and this one is my favorite! It has a very strong hold so my waves don't fall flat. The smell is very mild. I can use this either by itself for a longer, less-producty feel, or I can use it with mousse. It always works to make a great cast!
