Taming unruly curls can be a nightmare. However, if you are working with the right gel, it can be as easy as you want it to be. Go ahead divas, get your curls in order using the right gel for you. No matter what your budget is, there is a gel for your tresses.
Aquage
Frizz and curls are close to being frenemies. Mike van den Abbeel of Mosaic Hair Studio in Orlando, Florida, loves Aquage hair gel. He says Aquage works very well on coarse curly hair. Van den Abbeel says that the defining gel helps control curl and frizz like nothing else he's ever tried. He says the ingredients known as polymers in the defining gel give the hair shine, definition and are even humidity resistant.
Velorluxe by Nue Due
Curly hair needs control and moisture. Alan Gold, creative director of Haig & Co. Salon in Philadelphia, says the first thing coarse curly hair needs is a good shampoo and treatment, because that creates the foundation for the gel. He loves Velorluxe by Nue Due. Gold says that the amino receptors in the gel fill in the damage holes in curly hair. The lipide attaches amino receptors, delivering moisture to your strands. Velorluxe leaves your hair moisturized, more flexible and easy to blow dry.
Rock Hard Gel by Oribe
Ashley Hanna, celebrity hair stylist at Mizu New York salon, loves Rock Hard Gel by Oribe. She describes the gel as a modern cream gel for intense hold, architectural styling and shine. The best hair day comes when your hair does exactly as it's told and Hanna says that the Rock Hard Gel makes your hair do exactly that. She says that it's enriched with light-reflecting particles and hair-strengthening compounds that leave even the coarsest hair looking amazing.
Urban Therapy's Twisted Sista Curl Activator
There's no need to spend loads of money to tame your coarse curls. Hanna loves Urban Therapy's Twisted Sista Curl Activator. She loves it because the rich cream moisturizer adds volume, bounce and curl definition. Also, as an added bonus, the gel also adds antioxidant and UV protection while it activates curls and eliminates frizz. The best part is that you can get it for about $5.
