Why it's wonderful

Our best-selling moisturising gel defines curls with no flaking or tell-tale stickiness. The serum-like consistency makes it effortless to apply. It dries to create a soft cast around curls, holding your style and curl shape with a lasting medium hold.

How to use

Apply to soaking wet hair for best results

To boost volume:

Pour into palms and smooth over canopy.

Tip head forward and repeat underneath.

Scrunch and hold sections for a few seconds to encourage curls.

Apply more gel to ends where needed.


To control volume, elongate and prevent shrinkage (for medium or thick textures):

Rake gel through hair in sections distributing evenly.


To style:

Avoid touching hair until completely dry to prevent ruffling and flyaways

Once dry, tip head forward and scrunch to break the cast.

Reviews

My dream gel

"I have been using the curl defining gel for more than a year now. Is the only one that leaves my curls bouncy and soft. I was afraid of the glycerin content given that I live in a high humidity country (NL), but even at high humidity holds my curls without frizz or fluff."

Margarethe T. (5/5)

Excellent hair gel

"Smells amazing, beautiful light curl creme that controls my curls easily, giving a beautiful shine,nice light hold and can refresh your curls"

Margaret K. (5/5)

Curl defining gel

"My favourite gel. Good hold despite feeling light. Adds definition to curls. Love the fragrance"

Tracey W. (5/5)

This is the one!!!

"This is what I’ve been looking for- what a way too well kept secret!!! My curls/waves have been limp, lackluster, dull, and fall flat by the end of the day. I’ve been searching for the remedy, I FOUND IT!!! I’m really not a fan of the smell of these (very strong botanical) but the light gel dries without any aroma. Creates a beautiful cast and leaves behind soft touchable curls. Please please please don’t leave me, I’m almost 40 and I finally have beautiful hair!!"

Elaine S. (5/5)

Wouldn't be without it. . .

"Love the soft natural hold from the curl defining gel. . . just active it the next day with water and your good to go"

Evelyn C. (5/5)

Soft hold

"I love the soft hold of the gel! Holds curls without being crunchy."

Kelly L. (4/5)

Great products.

"My favorite brand for years. I mix curl defining gel in equal parts with the strong hold gel (purple packaging) to get a good cast. It scrunches out soft and zero white residue. Any curl that loses definition is easily fixed with a little water. I leave three and sometimes four days between washes and restyling and honestly look even better on day three and four."

Joanelle M. (5/5)

Love the smell of this

"Love the smell of this and it's feels so light. Great for styling the curls, whether you want to twist them into coils or just enhance your natural curl"

Fran V. (5/5)

Best Gel for Waves Ever.

"I have found my One and Only. Boucleme Curl Defining Gel holds my waves exactly where they want to be. It's amazing! All gels and curl creams that I have tried in the past flatten and dull my waves with their heavy, thick texture leaving my hair hard and dry. With this product, after applying, I simply scrunch and my waves stay put. My waves are shinier and springy and fun! Additionally, my hair feels really soft. For me, my waves (with some ringlets) even last overnight-and that has never happened before this product. This is my One and Done. Nothing else needed. I love it!"

Jennifer F. (5/5)

Ik ben heel tevreden over

"Ik ben heel tevreden over deze producten door hun verzorging voor curl haar en mijn huid. graag nog meer inzet in fragrance vrije producten … daar ga je zeker mee scoren op de markten. Ik ben zeker niet de enige die opzoek is naar deze producten… ik kan zelfs meerwaarde betekenen in aanbeveling bij professoren in Leuven en Antwerpen om deze producten aan te bevelen ?"

Q&A

Are your products wheat and gluten free pls? Some of your ingredients I haven't heard of so I'm unsure. Thank you.
We only use wheat bran extract in our Intensive Moisture Treatment. I hope this helps. Thanks
Hi I’ve just bought the boucleme curl defining gel from Amazon. The bottle reads slightly different to the pictures on your website. Eg on the bottle on the website the bottle says gelee de definition on the front …but the one I bought from Amazon says gelee coiffante on the front. Apart from that they are pretty much the same. I’m just worried that the one I bought from Amazon isn’t a legit product of yours. Please can u advise. Thank you x
Hi Heidi, thanks for reaching out. Can you drop us an email at info@boucleme.co.uk with some photos and a link to the Amazon store front you purchased from? We can then look into this 😊
Would this work as a styling gel for up dos E.G to create a slick bun or ponytail?
Yes definitely! However, if you need a stronger hold, you may want to try our Super Hold Styler 😊
does it wash out with water or is shampoo needed?
Hi! Our Curl Defining Gel is designed to be left in the hair. It should be the last step of your wash day routine. Start by using a cleanser/shampoo, rinse this thoroughly and then apply your conditioning products. For extra moisture, you can use our Curl Conditioner as a leave-in conditioner. Then, rake the Curl Defining Gel through your hair whilst it's still very wet. This will ensure the moisture is locked in and a cast will form. If you have any further questions then please don't hesitate to email us at info@boucleme.co.uk!
What’s the difference between Curl Defining Gel, Super Hold Styler, and Seal + Shield Defining Gel?
Curl Defining Gel has a medium hold. Super Hold Styler and Seal + Shield Defining Gel have a strong hold. Seal + Shield Defining Gel is also glycerin free.
Do I apply it to wet or dry hair?
On wash day we recommend applying Curl Defining Gel to very wet hair for lasting definition. It can also be applied to dry hair to smooth away fluff and frizz on the days in between.
Does the Curl Defining Gel dry in a cast?
Yes it creates a cast around curls as they dry. Gently scrunch to break and reveal touchably soft locks.
Does the product leave a sticky residue?
Smoothes and defines curls with no sticky residue or flaking.
What is the consistency of this product?
A silky serum-like gel.
What hold does the Curl Defining Gel give you?
It gives a medium hold, great for curls that form easily and don’t drop through the day.
