Our Take

A children's curl-defining jelly that provides soft hold and definition without the crunchiness or stiffness that would be uncomfortable for a child. Keeps curls clumped and defined through the school day without frizz. Apply to wet or damp hair after the leave-in, scrunching upwards. Gentle enough for daily use. Completes the three-step Born Curly system. CGM-approved.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to damp hair after the leave-in. Scrunch upwards gently to encourage curl clumping. Allow to air dry — avoid touching the hair while drying to prevent frizz. Safe for daily use. For a more defined look, separate curls gently once fully dry.
