Our Take
A defining jelly styler that sits between a cream and a gel in texture and hold. Formulated with coconut oil and shea butter alongside curl-defining polymers. Provides moisture and definition in a single step — forming a light cast that scrunches out to reveal soft, clumped curls. CGM-approved. Works across a wide range of curl patterns (3a–4c) but particularly shines on medium to thick hair. Fine hair should use sparingly to avoid weighing the canopy down.

How to Use
Apply to very wet, freshly conditioned hair. Take a walnut-sized amount, smooth between palms, and apply to sections from roots to ends, scrunching upwards to encourage curl clumping. Can be used as a standalone styler or under a gel for more definition. Diffuse or air dry without touching until fully dry, then scrunch out any crunch.
