Want to know more?

The Curl Holding Gel CGM is the ideal treatment if you want defined, long-lasting curls with no stiffness. Its formula, made with 96.2% natural origin ingredients, is silicone-free, alcohol-free and sulfate-free, and designed to respect the natural structure of curly hair.

Key ingredients and benefits:

Natural polymers from flax and chia seeds – form a defining “net” that enhances your curl shape with elastic hold.
Vegetable glycerin – a natural humectant that keeps hair hydrated and fights dryness.
Hydrolyzed rice protein – adds strength, nourishes the fiber and improves elasticity and resilience.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5) – softening, it makes combing easier and leaves hair soft.
Botanical extracts (e.g. carrot, rice) – soothing, protective and nourishing.

How to use: apply the right amount of gel to damp hair, spreading it evenly through lengths and ends. Dry with a diffuser, air-dry or plop. Once the gel is dry, you can “scrunch out the crunch” (gently squeeze the ends to break the gel cast).

With the Curl Holding Gel CGM, every application gives you well-defined, bouncy, natural-looking curls, with no limp or stiff effect, for a polished, long-lasting, flexible look.

What makes it special

It defines, holds and controls curls, reduces frizz, adds hydration, boosts shine and protects against chemical and environmental stressors, while keeping hair soft.

Choose it if

you want to define your curls, reduce frizz and get hold without weighing your hair down. Ideal for a long-lasting, natural style.

Back label

Curl gel, the third step: it sets curly or wavy styles with exceptional hold while hydrating the hair structure, for a bouncy, soft, well-controlled result. The advanced formula is sulfate-free, alcohol-free and silicone-free, and rich in actives and botanical extracts that give remarkable flexibility, so hair doesn’t get damaged. This refined formula also protects from blow-dryer heat and from chemical and environmental stressors, for flawless, shiny hair.

How to use · Warnings

Apply as much as you need to damp, well-blotted hair, working it carefully through all the lengths, then dry with your usual method.

Move on to the next step. Depending on your curl type (2-3-4/a-b-c), use this gel whenever you need to refresh your style and keep your hair healthy.

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; if it happens, rinse thoroughly with water only. Keep out of reach of children.
