Kinky Curly Curl Custard Gel, 8 oz (983170)

Edit: Figured out my day 2 and 3 curls. I wet my hair with a spray bottle. Apply Curls Blueberry Bliss and scrunch, then apply a thin amount of gel with prayer hands and scrunch again. Love this gel. For reference I have low density, fine, wavy-curly hair. I am mixed with Italian and black and my hair frizz is extremely hard to tame. I live in Georgia with humidity and semi hard water. Now on to the review. I had been using the Kinky Curly shampoo and Knot Today leave-in for a couple of months and really liked the products, so decided to try out the gel. Turns out these are some of the best curls I have ever gotten. I washed with Come Clean, deep conditioned with Deva Curl Heaven in Hair, added Knot Today leave in and then applied the curling custard. The gel goes on smooth and left me with no wet frizz. It dried into a cast that was easy to break and left my hair soft and moisturized. The gel texture resembles flaxseed gel so it is somewhat wet and slippery which I think helps it blend into my hair better than any other gel I've used before (which includes Shea, Mixed Chicks, Curls Blueberry Bliss, Aussie, Garnier, Eco Styler). It just glided on. For this specific photo I actually washed my hair in the night, and wrapped it with a silk scarf while it was still half wet and could already feel the cast. In the morning I undid my wrap and shook the hair out to break the cast and voila! Big spiral curls. They we're so beautiful. I honestly wasn't expecting these results. In this pic I didn't style upside down (I did side ways) which is why my roots are not springy, but that was on purpose as I wanted to wear my hair half up half down with a relatively smooth top. In the end the curls lasted about 75% of the day, which is great. I was out and about at the park and my son tussles my hair a lot. Very satisfied. I haven't been able to figure out the next day curls yet, but I am super happy with the wash day results and am pretty sure I can figure out how to work this into 3 days without washing. This gel doesn't dry my curls.

I have purchased this hair product several times. I use other hair products too but this one is a favorite because of the way it allows my curls to hang out in their curl families with minimal effort from me. I use it after washing and conditioning and I am still in the shower with saturated hair. It scrunch it in and continue scrunching with my head flipped forward. Then I closely wrap my hair up and go about my normal routine for a few minutes. Then I unwrap and let my curls fall and continue to scrunch up until I am satisfied. The next day I can spritz my hair with water until dampened and then rescrunch since the product is still good again when moistened.

I have been on the hunt for a lightweight, firm-hold gel, with water-soluble ingredients, that wouldn’t weigh my 2c fine hair down or cause any breakage/shedding, and I’ve finally found exactly what I’ve been searching for! A little goes a long way, and my curls last for days. I’ve been using it for at least 2 months at this point. I also love that price is reasonable for how much you’re getting, especially since I don’t need to use much. I also like that it comes in a tub rather than a tube or other container since none of the gel will go to waste and I can have better control on how much I use. I absolutely love this gel and can’t go back to using anything else!

Great for my hair even the problematic areas. But the price is pricey

Love

I think this is my favorite jelly so far. I’m trying another brand now that I do like, but I keep thinking about this brand and will go back to it. I love that it’s a jar and not a pump. It creates a strong hold for my loose spirals. I try to only wash my hair twice a week and this stuff helps hold the spirals and lets me refresh the flattened curls on non-wash days quickly. After diffusing I just give my hair a scrunch with just my hands, not oil and it softens the crunch hold yet holds curl

Review for KCCC: My hair type is 2c, low porosity. I didn't like thus as much as Mop Top Custard. I am still on the look out for a good alternative that is glycerin free for humid seasons. Pros: Gives good shine Doesn't dry out hair Subtle vanilla scent Cons: Too high maintenance. Either it was rock hard or is soft but curls don't keep definition. Very hard to strike the right balance. Not the best frizz control. Doesn't give volume if you air dry hair. Not very curl enhancing even when used in combination with leave in. I have had better results with lower maintanence products so this is getting returned. Review for Spiral Spritz: I've found that Giovanni is a much better gel for me as opposed to KCCC and the Spiral Sprutz works well as a refresher for second day hair. It's lightweight and moisturizing with just a little bit of flexible hold. It pairs well with Giovanni's direct leave in too.

Oh my goodness where do I begin?! My hair is basically frizzy, use to be thick but I lost a lot of it after I had COVID last year. I have tried numerous product to give me more of a defined curl but I would only end up with what looked like cotton on top of my head. From the moment I applied this product I knew it was going to be different. I love the smell, I love how easy it is to apply. I love how my curls will last a good 4-5 days and still look fabulous without any touch ups. You only need a tiny bit of it, basically dip your fingers and apply throughout your hair. I love how soft it becomes after you break up the “crunchiness” out of it. I will never be without this product. It truly is a wonderful product! Thank you!

This product is just amazing. I use this for my kids who both have different hair types. I put this in right after I wash their hair when it's dripping wet. Small sections and let it air dry. Lasts for about 3 days and stops the curls from getting tangled or matted. You can refresh the curls the next day with a little water from a spray bottle. Doesn't make the hair crunchy and does not dry out the hair. It's expensive but it's worth it.

I buy this every month. It’s quite pricey but the quality is great. Leaves my hair moisturized and soft. I can go three days without added more gel and my hair doesn’t go stiff. Also leaves no white residue in my hair. Value for the many Pennies!

The best gel I have ever used for curly hair.

The best product for styling curly hair.
