Description

Say hello to our award-winning Curl Defining Styling Soufflé—your new go-to for hydrated, defined curls that last. This styling custard for curls is infused with moisturizing ingredients like Babassu oil and Avocado oil. It glides effortlessly through your curls, delivering bounce, definition, and buildable hold. As it dries, it forms a strong cast that may feel crunchy to the touch—but don’t worry, it’s only temporary. Once fully dry, just scrunch out the crunch with a bit of oil, or serum to reveal soft, shiny, bouncy curls. The curl defining gel enhances shine, controls frizz and offers long- lasting curl definition-without ever compromising on softness or hydration. BEST FOR: Defined, moisturized long-lasting style. FORMAT: Custard Gel HOLD LEVEL: 8- Strong hold FEELS LIKE: semi solid jell-o √ Color-Safe √ Vegan Certified by The Vegan Society's Vegan Trademark √ Made without sulphates, silicones or drying alcohols √ Cruelty-free.

Perfect gel cast hold that doesn't leave my hair heavy, hard, or looking like it is wet. My hair has never looked so shiny or bouncy, it does such a great job at getting the initial cast I need for my hair to dry and is probably the best gel I have used in terms of breaking the cast and being left with a soft bouncy curl. In the past with other gels I have struggled to break the cast and this gel does not make it difficult at all. After using this gel I went from only lasting 3-4 days to easily almost 8-9 with great looking curls and almost no retouches. The application feels gross at first on your hands, it almost feels like alcohol and very drying on the hands/hair but does not actually have a drying affecting on the hair. If anything it feels like my hair is more hydrated and voluminous after using it. No strong smells. Overall very happy with the gel! You don't have to use a lot either. —— Coming back one YEAR later to say the 16 oz bottle I purchased on July 31st 2024 has just ran out on June 7th 2025. This stuff is amazing! An entire bottle lasted 1 year with my hair being hip length ... show more

    • Buying the Full Size!
Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have searched high and low for a product that my hair will tolerate. I was very discouraged for many year trying popular brands with different methods and not getting the results I was looking for. I bought this on a whim and will be a forever customer. My curls have never looked better. I have 3c curly hair; it’s a bit finer but I have A LOT of it. It is very dry, does not like heavy products or oils, and will get buildup easily because it doesn’t absorb products well. That is not the case with this magic soufflé. I will section fully wet hair into two parts and use around a tablespoon’s worth of this product on each side. I run it through my ends, work it up towards the roots but do not apply on my scalp. I will smooth the curls between my hands in a prayer motion and then scrunch them in my palm and upwards towards my scalp. I flip my head upside down, carefully fluff up my roots with my fingers and scrunch again. I diffuse on the warm low setting for around 20-30 minutes until it’s about 80% dry and then use the cool high setting to finish drying. The results are incredibly defined but soft-to-the-touch curls. No gel, no mousse. No custard or serum; just this product. Never in my life has my hair felt so airy and light. 2nd and 3rd days curls look great too and keep their definition well; I just do a little spritz of water to wake them back up. I am so happy and feel a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I have found a product that works so well for me. I will never stop recommending it and will be gifting it to curly friends and family so they can get in on the magic. ... show more

    • Works great but hard to get out of jar.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use the CurlSmith products. They have taught me good techniques to revive my curls and combat frizz. These products are necessary to hold onto that curl. I have several of their products and wanted to try this one. Opening the jar it looks like a clear jelly. It has a light, pleasant smell. I found the product hard to work with. It was hard to get out of the jar because it was like a runny jelly, so it kept running off my fingers. I finally made a scoop with my fingers and got a little product out. I applied it as directed. My hands were very sticky after working with this, but it washed off easily. My hair dried with a hard cast, so I scrunched it as directed to soften it up. It worked great to hold my curls it helped create. It was still holding the next day. If it were easier to get out of the jar I would give it that extra star. ... show more

    • The Perfect Curl Cream for Fine Hair Type 2 Curls
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have a mix of all of the Type 2 curls. I have fine hair that usually frizzes out of control. I used to live somewhere where soft water was a thing, now I live somewhere where it’s only hard water. This curlsmith soufflé is the best product I’ve ever used for my hair. 1. A little goes a long way, LESS IS MORE. 2. It MUST be applied to sopping wet hair - in the shower or re-wet over the sink. I starting using more of this product because I changed up my routine in the morning - and my hair started to look thin and like I had 4 curls on my head. Randomly one day I decided to stop using this, but as my hair started to frizz out of control, I was like ok I’ll just re-wet and use a little to control the frizz and I what I ended up with was the nicest, softest, fuss-free curls. For fine hair, the key really is to use 50% less than you think you need then go from there. And your hair must be sopping wet. With these 2 tricks, I don’t even get a cast or have to crunch, it’s just perfect as soon as it’s dried - with all of my separate curls, a bunch of volume, and no frizz! I have tried Innersense curl cream and I can’t get it to do what this product does, so for me this product wins. Though I do prefer Innersense shampoo and conditioner… ... show more

Makes my frizz into curls and lasts for days between washings. It gives me good curl definition on my long Irish curls.

    • It's just okay and smell terrible
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It comparison to the Curlsmith air dry cream, this is definitely a step down. I don't find the holder much stronger and it smells awful. Airdry cream is also conditioning. I am glad I bought it on big sale so it was not big waste of money. I will use it but will not repurchase.

Smells really sent-sational but still not perfumey. Light & fruity, rosy. Delish! I actually have the softest, cleanest feeling hair with spirals now. Doesn’t feel heavy or crispy at all. As an adult I am normally a straight/wavy girl but was born with curly hair. Here I used the product following a scrunch with a reflex serum (by another brand,) along with a bounce curl type brush for curl definition. (No mousse) and I was left with a nice glossy & bouncy result the very first time. I have noted that it has all of those great nourishing ingredients like rosemary, sage, babassu oil, shea butter, castor oil, and aloe vera. (But c’mon, how is it so featherweight still?) 🥇 This product gets my vote! Try it out. ... show more

Review Image by BrodysMom
The Curlsmith Hydro Style Flexi Jelly has been my go to styling gel for my naturally curly hair for about 6 years. I have tried many other brands that promised the same curling hold or were less expensive, but always come back to this one. It is a lightweight gel offering a medium non crunchy hold. After it dries there is a slight cast, leaving my hair soft and manageable. I love the ingredients, the texture and smell. It is vegan and cruelty free. There are no sulphates, parabens, silicones or mineral oil. It is a little on the pricey side but the quality and how my hair responds is well worth it. ... show more
