Smooth sailing

28 days ago
I was able to create this adorable look using the flexi hold curls gel. It went on so smoothly no issues besides that my hair was frizzy towards the end of the night but besides that I like it. It will definitely help for slick back styles. It’s clear so it looks clean and very manageable.

Good for curls and laying down frizz!

30 days ago
I did not use this the traditional way BUT I do have curly hair that I straight and sometimes those curls pop out and need laid down. He helps with keeping that frizz down all day. It’s not heavy on my hair and will continue to use it!

Obsessed with this gel

a month ago
My daughter has been using the Garnier Frutis Flexi Hold Curls and it’s honestly been a staple in her daily hair routine. It gives her curls the definition, bounce and defined look she has been looking for. It doesn’t make your hair crunchy, I’ve tried myself and can confirm. What I love: It keeps my Curls defined all day. Add some moisture, so my hair doesn’t feel dry No flakes, huge win! Stays lightweight and bouncy, and my curls do not fall. It’s perfect if you want that natural touchable Curl look without weighing your hair down. If you have wavy or curly hair, this is a must.

Nice hair gel

a month ago
This gel is really good. It holds very well and is easy to use to style. The only downside is if you use too much you will get white flakes. I would recommend this to anyone who looking for a new hair gel.

Probably not best for fine hair

a month ago
It’s not for my hair type maybe, but this gel did not hold my curls for long. I have fine hair so I cannot use too much, but when I use enough to keep the curl, my hair gets too weighed down and greasy.

This job gives a flexible hold that help define curls while keeping them soft and nature appearing. It doesn’t leave them being too stiff and allows movement and not too heavy.

Awesome!

a month ago
I love this gel. It's so nice because it doesnt weigh my hair down and leave it hard like most other gels. It helps tame my hair in the Florida humidity and rain. Such a nice value as well. A little goes a long way and the product is very big!

Very good drug store curly gel

a month ago
I really enjoyed using this gel. I’ve actually been using it a lot. The tub makes it easy to scoop into my palm for distribution on my hair. It has good hold but isn’t crunchy. It washes off my hands easily. And the smell is light and not overpowering. I also love that the brand is cruelty free and vegan. I would honestly buy this product and recommend it.
