I wanted a product to bring out my natural curl without making it look dry and brittle. This sculpting cream gel does the trick!. Plus it gives me shine and the price is right. I looked at other products, but they were way to pricey! Thanks Garnier I am a happy camper.

leaves hair crunchy instead of soft

This product pales in comparison to the discontinued Garnier Fructis Soft Curl Cream. This product left my hair feeling crunchy. The discontinued product left curls shapely and soft. Why take it off the market? It has not been replaced by a comparable product by Garnier Fructis.

Cream gel curly hair product

a month ago
What is going on with the original product? It’s nowhere to be found. Walmart claims it had a 3 pack and now it’s delayed at 3 times the original price. No one carries it now and even the new packaging is nowhere to be found. New jelly is not the same as the conditioning cream gel . Who thought of changing this causing these resale issues from 3rd parties?

I've used this product on my slightly wavy gray hair and I like the resulting look and feel. My only complaint is that the top is too difficult to open, especially with wet hands! It is close to impossible to open without using a towel for help. A little inconvenient.

what happened to the shea butter?

2 years ago
I have used this product for nearly 10 years now, but will not purchasing again. This time around, I noticed that it no longer leaves my hair soft and smooth like it used to but just ignored it. I just realized that the front no longer says "Shea butter" on it which means they changed the formula. Unfortunately, the shea butter was the only thing that brought be back and now that it's gone, so am I. I will not be purchasing again.

STAINS CLOTHING!! DO NOT BUY

3 years ago
I've been using this product for about 8 months. I absolutely love what it does to my daughters curls. They give them the perfect bounce and softness. For the past 2 months since my daughter started wearing her light colored summer stuff I noticed that all of her tops are stained. I thought its my front load washing machine causing the stains and I therefore brought all types of washer cleaners. But when the stains persisted and kept getting more and more… I was horrified! I finally had an aha moment this morning!! It’s the GARNIER FRUCTIS Curl Sculpt Conditioning Cream Gel causing all the gray stains!! I googled for it and found another review complaining about this. Hence, I confirmed that this is it! This is so so upsetting! All of her clothing are now stained! Mostly in the back of her cloths but some have them in the front too. I just bought 2 more tubes. I’m not upset about the few dollars that I’m losing on the gels. I’m upset about all her cloths that I work so hard to find and pay for… and then about the anxiety this all caused!! Garnier Fructis – please find which ingredient is causing the stains!

Really disappointed in the formula change

3 years ago
I have been using this cream gel for years. Many stylists have tried to change my mind about the product by nothing would work the wonders that this product offered me. Recently I noticed a new coconut formulation of this cream gel. I tried it and the results are not the same. It’s harder to brush through my hair and the curls look more dry, less hold, and more frizz. I wish garnier would go back to the old formula because this is not working for me. I’ve been using it on my daughter too and the new formula doesn’t work on her curls either and her curls are more loose than mine.

No, I do not recommend this product.

It stained my shirts

5 years ago
I've been using this product for about a year. I absolutely love what it does to my 3c curls. But I had noticed that my light colored t-shirts and sweatshirts were getting this stain from my hair. I thought it was hair dye and told my hairdresser to wash it out better. Then when it happened a month after I dyed my hair I experimented with my "products" on my newly ruined peach colored t-shirt. The only one that created the grayish stain was Garnier Fructis Curl Sculpt Conditioning Cream. I had just bought 3 tubes to stock up. I am SO DISSAPPOINTED!

I’ve been shopping around fir the right curl product and I really like this one so far! I scrunched it into wet hair and did a light diffuse, let the rest air dry. After drying I scrunched out a bit of crunch. I’m really satisfied with the hold! Enough to give my curls shape, but still allowing some movement. Great product, great value!

I had a tube of this in my bathroom that I had long forgotten about. I had deep conditioned my hair on a Sunday. After rinsing my deep conditioner, I saw this in the cupboard and thought "why not?". I used a dime size amount and rubbed my palms together and put it in my hair using a praying hands method. I scrunched a little then added gel and scrunched some more. I plopped, air dried for a bit and then finished off with my diffuser. When I was done, I thought wow, my hair looks nice and full. I woke up the next day and didn't do a thing, my hair looked great. I was able to get through the entire week without wetting or washing my hair!! Just a touch up with the curling iron to spruce up a few drooping curls and I was good to go. The only thing different in my routine was using this. I bought a new tube of it this week.

Too much alcohol

6 years ago
I had finished up my Fructis mousse and thought I’d try another product because the ones I had previously used worked so well. It’s my fault I should have known when I opened it and it smelled overwhelmingly like alcohol to me. My curls, that I’ve been diligently working to get back to healthy, were unphased by it. My hair did not hold its curl but for one day. I was shocked. Now, I’m stuck with a product I have zero use for. Can’t recommend this to any of my curly friends.

I love this stuff and I’ve been using it for years. It keeps my hair from frizzing out. But I think the formula or at least the scent has changed and now I can no longer use it because the smell is too overwhelming. Please go back to the old scent! I hate having to find new products especially because this one works so well.

Best curl enhancer ever!

7 years ago
I put this on wet hair, went about my day, fluffed it a bit when dry - and boom - got complements on my curls all day! And, dampened my hair the next day and the same magic happened. I’ve spent so much money on products and will never go anywhere else but Garner products again.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This product left my hair flat and greasy. I had to re-shampoo to get the bounce and curls back.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Love this!

I have been buying this for close to 15 years. Absolutely love it. I have 2c/3b curls, and this tames freeze, gives great hold, it is light enough that it doesn't weigh my very fine hair down. I love that I can wet it down on subsequent days without having to add more product for my hair to still hold.

Best Curl Product!

7 years ago
This is my go to curly hair product. I have used everything from expensive salon products to less expensive products. My hair is very curly and sometimes can be hard to manage. This hands down is the best for well defined soft curls. Instead of out of control frizzy curls, it produces controlled, no frizz, soft curls. In saying that, even if you have finer or softer curls this product is light enough for your hair as well. Please don't ever discontinue this product!

Yes, I recommend this product.

I have wavy hair when long and curly hair when short, and this product works for both times. It makes my curls more defined and less frizzy and makes my waves more full. The beautiful scent is just a nice bonus!

I love this product for when I either want to skip the blow dry/straighten routine or when I just don’t have time to do it. It helps my curls look great. However if not careful and can make hair look “crunchy”.

On the messy side and a tad bit sticky. Takes a little bit to dry once applied to the hair its good for a couple of hours. But after that my hair will start to poof.

      Q: I noticed the ingredients on this website lists that it contains parabens, but when I went to the store and looked at the ingredients list it did not contain parabens. Which is accurate? Why is it listed differently on the tube at the store?

      1 Answer
      • A: Hi Sunflower7, Garnier Curl Sculpting Gel does contain Parabens which acts as a preservative and are derived from an acid which naturally occurs in many fruits and vegetables. Safe ranges for the use of parabens in cosmetics have been established around the world, and without them, Garnier products could spoil and become harmful to you. We are continuously working to develop innovative formulas that are less vulnerable to microbial contamination, while also limiting the use of parabens, always keeping your safety a top priority, and ensuring Garnier maintains its superior quality delivered to you.
