"I started out using this gel for my curly hair then tried the pink bottle, I think I like the pink one better but I still love this one to. My curls are popping now with these gels and the hairspray."
"I have been using this product for years and years and years by now (definitely >10 years)! I love it, I love everything about it! It smells amazing, gives me soft shiny curls and it's cruelty free! I panicked because I couldn't buy it from my usual retailer this time and it was out of stock for quite a while and I thought Boucleme had stopped making it - heart stopping! I have tried other products but this is by far the best - perfect curls in a bottle."
"My Holy Grail Styler! I am completely loyal to Bouclème for my styling routine, and while I use all of their gel styling products, the yellow gel (Curl Defining Gel) is my absolute holy grail! The 1-litre pump bottle is incredibly convenient, making morning styling completely effortless. It lasts me a solid two months and has a refreshing, amazing scent that I love. I have recommended this product so many times that I jokingly feel like I should own shares in the company! The proof is in the results: I get non-stop compliments on my curls, and people are constantly asking me what my secret is and how I style my hair. If you want defined, beautiful curls that look fantastic every single day, this is the bottle to buy."
"Fragrance has changed. Not as nice as it was. Otherwise a good product"
"Didn’t work for my curl, didn’t hold it properly and I couldn’t get it to curl."
"Had high hopes for this as it is raved so much online, however, I unfortunately haven’t been able to make it work yet for my hair. I have a mix of wavy and curly hair, probably between 2b - 3a. I find my curls don’t hold as well with this gel compared to others, even when combining this with the super hold styler gel. Even on day one my curls also don’t feel as soft, bouncy and defined as they do with other gels and I’ve so far found that my curls dry a bit deformed and very frizzy. Overall disappointed with both this and the super hold styler gel so far (although I’m yet to try that on its own so fingers crossed)"
"This is a light hold gel. It is very moisturizing and lightweight - almost like a serum. I have very fine waves and it helps add definition to them, although I require protein rich products to add extra hold (such as their amazing foam)."
"This product lets my waves stand out and hold. Love it!"
"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."
"Smells amazing, beautiful light curl creme that controls my curls easily, giving a beautiful shine,nice light hold and can refresh your curls"
