"The curl defining gel is amazing, it works so well on my hair. It doesn’t weigh down my hair and gives me lasting definition. The application of the gel is so easy. I am so glad I discovered this product!"
"This is a really great layering gel and what I use as my base coat in the shower. After I apply my curl cream and leave in. I absolutely recommend to curly or wavy hair."
"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."
"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."
"Great curl definition and lovely smell"
"Amazing gel. So slippery and hydrating but gives me a great cast"
"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."
"Didn’t work for my curl, didn’t hold it properly and I couldn’t get it to curl."
"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!"
