I'm so disappointed with this new coconut formula. It has ruined my beautiful curls. The old formula was my go to, now I have to find a new curly hair gel. This product makes my hair stringy and NOT curly. What "curl" gel makes you lose the curls? This crap. I would give this product zero stars if I could. I'm so sad.

Bad new formula
15 days ago
I didn’t not like the new formula. I’ve been using this for years. Why did they remove the conditioner. It is hard to get my comb through this new formula to get tangles out. I’m also pulling out more hair because of it. I switched to curl shine which helps with that. But just not the same.
Bring back the old formula!

Makes hair frizzy
a year ago
The older formula was amazing. I recommended it to many ppl bc they would ask if I styled my hair bc it looked good. I simply put a small glob of gel into wet hair abd gave it an upside down scrunch. Lol! The new formula is awful. Doesn't really do anything for my hair except enhance the frizz. Why? Why did you discontinue this one? Before you tell me about knowing how disappointing this is ir something similar, please know, I simply want to know what happened to the original formula.. it was great!

I used to love this product. It was always part of my daily routine. It has not worked for me for awhile now and I just found out the formula was changed! This was the worst choice. There is 0 hold! My hair looks/feels/behaves as if there is no gel at all. It leaves a greasy feeling and is absolutely horrible.

Garnier changed it
4 years ago
This product was my go to product for years. People would stop me and ask me my secret for my soft, perfect curls and I would tell them about this product. However, within the past few months, Garnier completely changed it and now it makes my hair greasy, stringy and frizzy no matter how little or how much product I use. I have not changed any of my hair products in years, so this product is the problem. Now I have to find a new one. I know everything changes eventually, but I am so disappointed. I hate to answer below that I will not recommend to a friend because I have been recommending to friends and strangers for many years, but I can not now.

I mistakenly bought this new curl scrunch with coconut because the old curl scrunch without the coconut wasn’t on the shelf. The new one is AWFUL. My hair turned out AWFUL.

Hi there Alexef1a4! Thank you for sharing your experience Curl Scrunch Controlling Gel. We can imagine how frustrating that would be…you want great curl definition but with softness. Try the Curl Treat Butter Hydrating Leave-in Styler To Shape Curls for normal to coarse hair, or for thinner or finer hair, use the Curl Treat Smoothie Defining Leave-in Styler for Soft Curls.

Hi there- Thank you for sharing your comments on our Curl Scrunch Gel. Garnier Fructis Style Curl Scrunch Controlling Gel for curly hair creates defined, volume-controlled curls for lasting hold free of frizz, flyaways, and flaky residue. For optimal results, take a quarter size amount of product, rub between palms, then apply to slightly damp/dry hair and style. For longer or thicker hair, or simply to get more "definition", increase the amount of product used. We hope this helps!

This product smells very nice and has a nice slippery feel to it. When I bought it I had high expectations but when I opened it and began to apply it to my hair I realized that this product does not work on tightly curled hair. This gel did not hold my curls at all, it was like putting thickened water on my hair. This product might work well for someone with very loose curls or waves but not for kinkier textures.

So, this product definitely defines your curls! There's no argument there. However, I gave it 3 stars because I personally don't like it when my curling gel makes my hair crunchy. This product is a little annoying afterwards because in order to get it out you have to wash your hair again. I don't like how my hair feels when I brush out the curls after using this product.

Q: Where is the evaporation date?
8 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hi Helia! Thank you for inquiring about Curl Scrunch Gel "Where is the evaporation date?" If your question is "expiration date" Our products have been tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature, during which they will retain their integrity and perform as expected. If your product looks and smells the way it normally does, it is good to use. Unless stamped with an expiration date, our products do not expire. We hope this information is helpful.8 years agoHelpful?
