A little goes a long way (my little sample lasted for two after shower stylings) and I believe it addresses frizz better than Devacurl’s equivalent product of ultra defining gel. ...I’ve tried sooooooo many different creams and gels for my curly/wavy hair and I find that gels work a lot better cause the cream weighs my hair down and makes it feel knotted really fast.

✔ Wavy

✔ Curly

✔ Coily

I don't really use gels. However, I was curious about this because it is a creamy gel. ...Best for mini twisting natural hair!!...Great product and the better of the curling gel products within her line up.
