Product Information

Use Curl Sculpt conditioning cream gel, infused with coconut water and uniquely formulated to moisture and leave your curls defined and bouncy without the crunch. Give your curls everything they crave by providing the controlled definition of a gel with the soft subtle conditioning of a cream.

Suitable for curl patterns 2A–4C:
• 2A–2C waves: use small amount (~nickel-size) for soft shape without build-up.

• 4A–4C coils: apply per section with prayer-hands technique + light oil seal.

Finish: Soft, no-crunch, natural movement.
Porosity guidance: Use less for low-porosity; more for coarse or high-porosity hair.
Humidity Defense: Film-forming polymers counter frizz and shape loss up to 24 hours.

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