Fructis Curl Shape Defining Spray Gel is a strong-hold spray gel for wavy, curly, and coily hair types. Infused with coconut water, it defines curls, adds shine, and helps control frizz without weigh-down, stickiness, or build-up.

• Mist-on spray-gel format coats strands evenly like a hair spray with the control of a hair gel.
• Shiny finish with defined curls that stay in place yet feel touchable.
• Works on damp or dry hair; great for day-2 curl refresh.
• Free from silicones, phthalates, and DMDM hydantoin; Leaping Bunny approved.
• Scent: Nourishing coconut and crisp tropical fruits; a soft, breezy scent.

No silicones, no phthalates, and no DMDM hydantoin. All Garnier products, globally, are approved by Cruelty Free International under the Leaping Bunny program.

For best results, start with a curly hair shampoo, then layer over a leave-in conditioner for curly hair or curl cream for curly hair before styling.

Step 1: Hold bottle 8–10 inches from slightly damp or dry hair.

Step 2: Apply 6–10 sprays for shoulder-length hair, working in sections for thick or coily textures.

Step 3: Scrunch or finger-twist, then air-dry or diffuse.

Step 4: To refresh, lightly mist onto dry curls and scrunch.

Pro tip: Layer over a leave-in conditioner for curly hair or curl cream for curly hair for extra moisture; pair with a mousse for curly hair (curl mousse) for more volume. When diffusing, use a heat protectant for hair first.

I just bought it because a friend told me it was a great product, but my bottle won't spray. I even ran some warm water over sprayer & still won't sprayer. It seems to me the gel is too thick.

Fix the spray bottle

a month ago
Good product, no complaints there. However, the spray bottle doesn’t work well. When it does spray, it sprays out in a single stream, not a fanned out spray.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Bring on the frizz!

7 months ago
Not sure what happened to this product or what was eliminated. My hair has never been so frizzy. The product does not hold the curl. Will have to find another product as the hold is not as it used to be. Very disappointed as I have used this product for over 10 years.

Very disappointing

I don't love it! The gel comes out of sprayer in such small amount it takes so long to do my entire head. I tried spraying into my hands and then applying but found it easiest to unscrew top and pour into my hands. I won't be buying again.

No, I do not recommend this product.
