However, individual hair types and sensitivities may vary, so we recommend performing a patch test and adjusting usage based on your hair's response. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Have a wonderful day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my favorite hair gels for curls! It’s got just enough hold to prevent frizz and maintain shape but not so much that it weighs hair down. It’s pretty lightweight and glides over curl clumps easily without pulling. It smells good too! My curl pattern is pretty loose though (3a ish) so curlier hair types may have different experiences.
Amazing product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an okay product. I wouldn’t necessarily buy this with my own money. I didn’t notice anything extraordinary with the hold and if anything I felt like it my hair more prone to snapping while styling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Not your mothers curl talk control gel has a decent hold on my curly hair and retains the curl pattern after a good scrunch. The scent isn't overpowering and has a nice texture to it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel is alright in a pinch. At least if you aren’t looking for a strong hold in your gel. I like a stronger hold so I had to wind up mixing it with another. But if you want a lighter hold, easier for styling, this is perfect!
good product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have thick, frizzy, curly hair, and this stuff really works! My curls look much more defined and hold throughout the day. The smell is also wonderful, but subtle. I will be buying again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel really surprised me—in a good way. It has a lightweight texture that doesn’t feel sticky, and it actually helped control my frizz without leaving that crunchy feeling. My curls looked defined and shiny all day, and the scent is super nice and not overpowering. A little goes a long way, which I love. Definitely part of my regular routine now
Beautiful curls and no frizz!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using it on my 3B curls, and I’m genuinely impressed. This gel provides a long-lasting hold that keeps my curls defined and frizz-free for several days. Even in humid weather, my hair stays in place without feeling stiff or crunchy. What I love the most is how lightweight it feels. My curls remain soft to the touch, with plenty of bounce and movement. There's absolutely no greasy residue, and my hair looks fresh and healthy. It's the perfect balance of control and flexibility. If you’re looking for a gel that offers reliable definition, excellent frizz control, and a natural feel, this one is definitely worth trying. The citrus jasmine scent is also a lovely bonus—subtle and refreshing without being overpowering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Curl Talk Frizz Control Sculpting Gel from Influenster and Not Your Mother’s for free in exchange for my honest review! This gel works great for my hair. It is lightweight and formula with keratin amino acids, which nourishes and helps hydrate my hair. It stops my hair from being frizzing! It smell really nice and this gel keeps my hair curl and looks nice all day long without making it feel stiff. Would highly recommend it!

Left my hair extremely dry and frizzy after. No matter how much I used I got no cast and hold. It completely ruined wash day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great for separating curls and making them shiny but it did slightly lack in hold and volume. The texture is a little too liquid to be able to hold a stable curl but the scent is good. This honestly isn’t a bad product but it definitely isn’t for super curly hair!
Putrid.

I can’t begin to tell you how AWFUL this product is. I have 2c hair and it dried it out, made my curls undefined, snd it smelled like vomit mixed with salt and pool water. If I could give it a zero stars, I would.
