Curl Custard Gel, 8 oz (983170)

I love this curl custard. It smells so good, and it works so well on my hair. My hair is literally pin straight and it works so good to give me waves and curls. I can't recommend this product enough.

I love this product so much. I love the smell. Holds my wavy hair very well!

Edit: Figured out my day 2 and 3 curls. I wet my hair with a spray bottle. Apply Curls Blueberry Bliss and scrunch, then apply a thin amount of gel with prayer hands and scrunch again. Love this gel. For reference I have low density, fine, wavy-curly hair. I am mixed with Italian and black and my hair frizz is extremely hard to tame. I live in Georgia with humidity and semi hard water. Now on to the review. I had been using the Kinky Curly shampoo and Knot Today leave-in for a couple of months and really liked the products, so decided to try out the gel. Turns out these are some of the best curls I have ever gotten. I washed with Come Clean, deep conditioned with Deva Curl Heaven in Hair, added Knot Today leave in and then applied the curling custard. The gel goes on smooth and left me with no wet frizz. It dried into a cast that was easy to break and left my hair soft and moisturized. The gel texture resembles flaxseed gel so it is somewhat wet and slippery which I think helps it blend into my hair better than any other gel I've used before (which includes Shea, Mixed Chicks, Curls Blueberry Bliss, Aussie, Garnier, Eco Styler). It just glided on. For this specific photo I actually washed my hair in the night, and wrapped it with a silk scarf while it was still half wet and could already feel the cast. In the morning I undid my wrap and shook the hair out to break the cast and voila! Big spiral curls. They we're so beautiful. I honestly wasn't expecting these results. In this pic I didn't style upside down (I did side ways) which is why my roots are not springy, but that was on purpose as I wanted to wear my hair half up half down with a relatively smooth top. In the end the curls lasted about 75% of the day, which is great. I was out and about at the park and my son tussles my hair a lot. Very satisfied. I haven't been able to figure out the next day curls yet, but I am super happy with the wash day results and am pretty sure I can figure out how to work this into 3 days without washing. This gel doesn't dry my curls.

I have been on the hunt for a lightweight, firm-hold gel, with water-soluble ingredients, that wouldn’t weigh my 2c fine hair down or cause any breakage/shedding, and I’ve finally found exactly what I’ve been searching for! A little goes a long way, and my curls last for days. I’ve been using it for at least 2 months at this point. I also love that price is reasonable for how much you’re getting, especially since I don’t need to use much. I also like that it comes in a tub rather than a tube or other container since none of the gel will go to waste and I can have better control on how much I use. I absolutely love this gel and can’t go back to using anything else!

I don't think I've seen any reviews that factor climate into the effectiveness of this product, but trust me - if you have highly porous hair (like I do) and you live in a high-altitude or an extremely humid climate, this product may present some problems for you. Since the product relies exclusively on the humectants for moisture and softness (there are no oils in it), the amount of water in the atmosphere will determine whether or not this product moisturizes effectively. If you live in an extremely dry climate, your hair will be extremely dry because there is so little moisture in the atmosphere. If you live in a very humid climate, then your hair might be limp or extremely puffy and difficult to style because of the moisture overload. Also, having too much water in your hair at all times could weaken the strands and cause them to break. So, if your area has climate extremes, you might want to avoid this product. I live in Southern California, so the weather isn't that big a factor for me. That being said, while I consider this product EXTREMELY expensive, it is something I would use again, just because it works very nicely for me and has helped me retain significant length (my hair is 4b). I use this as a hold product, rather than a curl definer. I apply the product, braid or twist my hair and let it dry. I find that I get really good hold, my hair is extremely hydrated because of the intense humectant properties, and I get lots of volume. There is some crunch, but I'm conditioned to believe that crunch = lasting hold, so I don't mind. Even in comfortably moist weather, It might not work for everyone for a variety of other reasons, largely because everyone's idea of a good hair day is different. Some people want their curls to be completely and totally defined at all times (I don't - I like some frizz). Some people hate crunchiness (I don't mind it). Others complain about shrinkage (eh - what can you do?). No one product can satisfy everyone's individual concept of "dream" hair, but for the amount of money this costs, it's not unreasonable to expect greatness. I would say that if the $20+ price tag doesn't bother you, you don't have any exalted expectations and you live in a mild climate, then give it a try. Otherwise, Ecostyler gel mixed with curl activator works pretty similarly and costs less than half as much.

I think this is my favorite jelly so far. I’m trying another brand now that I do like, but I keep thinking about this brand and will go back to it. I love that it’s a jar and not a pump. It creates a strong hold for my loose spirals. I try to only wash my hair twice a week and this stuff helps hold the spirals and lets me refresh the flattened curls on non-wash days quickly. After diffusing I just give my hair a scrunch with just my hands, not oil and it softens the crunch hold yet holds curl

Amazing product!!!! You don’t need very much to get the beautiful soft curls you want. The ingredients are all natural and good for your hair too! You must give this a try for sure!!!!!

Wow, I purchased this item about 7 months ago and I am just now beginning to think about a repurchase (I still have approximately a quarter of a pot left). Kinky Curly Curling Custard is a great product if: you have curly, preferably thick hair. It is probably too heavy if you have looser waves. It coats the hair and helps curl formation last for dayyyys, like no other curl cream I have tried. Personally I require a small amount of gel over the top of this, because my hair is super frizzy/will lose its curl if I don't. People who don't lose their curl formation might be ok without gel. I also put a light leave in conditioner under it, the Kinky Curly Knot Today one does work reliably well but I also find it works fine with most things. This product has a fairly strong vanilla smell and is the consitency of, forgive me, snot. You need to make sure you distribute it evenly, I just rake it through wet hair, otherwise it can clump a bit. Personally it has never flaked on me. It does "stretch" the hair a bit, and takes forever to dry naturally, or even with a diffuser. But it's worth it.

The best product for styling curly hair.

The kinky curling custard is as described, use with coconut milk oil to define curls. Like my comment, I recommend.
