Can shape up aqua gel be applied to wet hair; then later to dry hair during the day to control frizz?

Hi Ali, Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes! The Shape Up Aqua Gel can be applied to wet hair for initial styling and later to dry hair to help control frizz throughout the day. Just use a small amount and smooth it over frizzy areas for the best results. If you have additional questions. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you.

If I’m applying this and the weightless air dry leave in cream, do I apply them together (like mixed together in my hand and applied at the same time) or first apply the air dry cream, and then apply this gel?

Hi, kim! We recommend applying the weightless air dry cream before applying the gel. I hope that this helps!

How does the Shape Up Aqua Gel compare to the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly?

Aqua Gel: This is our most lightweight styling gel yet. It has an incredible super-fluid texture that effortlessly coats all curls and provides light hold and weightless definition for all curl types. It has a level 5 hold, which makes it our lightest hold styling gel.
