Curly Hair Gels for Summer

We have said it once, we will say it 101 more times - everyone needs a gel. As the weather warms, this is even more true. Having a go-to gel will keep your frizz at bay, and protect your luscious locks from the increasing humidity. We have rounded up some of our favorite gels to kick off your hot curl summer (frizz free, of course)!

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Gel

The Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Gel is number one on our summer-gel-must-tries for a reason. This advanced formula has Anti-Frizz Nano Technology to lock in moisture and lock out humidity as the weather warms. It is glycerin free, another anti-humidity helper, and contains protein for those bouncy curls we all lust over. It gives your curls a medium to heavy hold, and even contains UV filters to protect against environmental stressors. Our subscribers loved this one in our April mailer, rightfully so, and the full-size version can be purchased here! Use code CURLSMONTHLY, valid until 5/31.

Ecoslay Jello Shot

This gel is as strong as it’s real Jell-o Shot counterpart, that’s for sure! Formulated with Okra Extract, Aloe Vera Juice, and Chamomile, this thick gel will hold your curls in place all summer long. Shop it in our October Past Mailer or buy the full-sized version here! P.S. Use code CurlVit15

Inahsi Define and Shine Gel

This gel is named define and shine for a very good reason. What makes it perfect for your summer curl routine? It is lightweight (no weighed down curls over here!) and fragrance free. It is also Glycerin free, which we know all you mini curl experts already know is great for humid weather. Plus, it’s heavy in protein and will give you *the* most insane shine. Try this icon in our February Mailer here! 

Treluxe Hi! Definition Gel

TreLuxe anything? Sign us up. This gel is no exception, and it’s not called Hi! Definition for nothing. It is protein free for defined, bouncy curls. It’s Glycerin free (duh), medium weight and gives your curls a strong hold! If you were able to snag this in our May mailer, you are one lucky girl with curls! Shop the full size here. 

Fix My Curls Defining Hair Gel

This gel will fix your curls for sure. It fixes that awful halo frizz, and is rich in protein for those bouncy curls. Plus, it decreases unwanted volume and adds crazy definition, making it the perfect warm weather go-to! If you don’t already know, we now carry all of our subscribers' favorite Fix My Curls products + bundles on our website (Yes- that means it’s no longer $70 international shipping for our US curlies!).
