Reviews

Used to love the old packaging and formula

"The new packaging also seems to come with a new formula, thicker, white and sticky as opposed to the old version which was more watery. The new version really dries the hair with no additional benefit. Shame, I was obsessed with the original product"

— Mel (2/5)

Significantly less frizz

"Finally a great product which delivers on frizz free styling. I used a light leave in spray, curl retainer and the frizz serum on dry hair afterwards. Very happy with results. Really pleasant scent also."

— Jasmine M. (5/5)

Excellent curl cream!

"I’ve been looking for a curl cream that works for my 2b dry hair for ages. I finally found it! This is light, has decent hold without being heavy or sticky, does not weigh my hair down, and lasts well until my next washing. My hair does not get frizzy, and it’s waves and curls look a lot better than ever!I wish the bottle was a little more flexible because it’s hard to squeeze the stuff out, but that’s a pretty minor complaint considering the product itself is fantastic!"

— Aixe D. (5/5)

Great hold

"Great product with the perfect amount of hold. Keeps your curls in a cast without feeling too crunchy. A little goes a long way which is perfect as I have long, Thick hair."

— Zara S. (5/5)

LOVE it!

"I’ve been misting my hair and adding a dime size of this to refresh, and it’s my new favorite!! I have thick course hair and this has been the perfect addition to my routine"

— Chloe V. (5/5)

To heavy for my hair

"To heavy for my hair"

— Chinesha C. (4/5)

Frizz free

"Leaves had shining and very good at combatting frizz. Would recommend for someone who doesn’t very extremely coarse hair though"

— G (5/5)

MUST-HAVE

"I have tried numerous products for more than 2 decades, and I have never found a product that does what this does. It holds the curl and allows you to define the look of your style, while most importantly, it eliminates frizz! I cannot do without this. It is a MUST-HAVE in my hair care routine. I have even cut down on the necessity to wash my hair as often because of its ability to hold the curl and eliminate the frizz, which means less damage to my hair!"

— Kimberly R. (5/5)

Disappointed

"I have both thick and course hair. This product feels heavy on it, which isn’t something I typically experience. I might start the day with okay curls, but they pretty quickly flatten out and leave me with lifeless hair most of the day."

— Jenny D. (2/5)

Great curl definition for fine curls

"I love this product! It offers great curl definition without weighing down fine curls. Great hold without a crunchy feel. Doesn't dry out my hair or leave product buildup."

— Emily C. (5/5)

Q&A

How is this different from the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly ? Which is better for fine hair?
Hi Jeanne, Thanks for your question. The Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer is richer and designed to smooth and protect curls from humidity, while the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly is lighter and gives flexible hold without weighing hair down. For fine hair, the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly is usually the better choice. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
Do I have to use a defuser to activate this product?
You can diffuse or airdry with our stylers :)
I’m a mico plop/ air dryer. Do you have to diffuse like the instructions or will it work well without heat? Low-porosity, type 2 hair
Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. If you have low-porosity hair and prefer not to use heat, you can certainly use the device without it. Simply follow your usual air-drying routine. If you have further questions. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith
Is this product okay for wavy low porosity hair ? I am sacred that it might weight down my curls too much
It can be used on all hair types! It is a non-sticky jelly styler providing exceptional frizz reduction and curl definition with medium hold
How does the hold of the frizz control gel compare to the hydro jelly (which I am using just now)? Would you say they have the same level of hold/cast? Thanks/
Hi Louise, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We would love to assist you in finding the best product for your hair type. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith
