Great Hold!
"My hair loved it. It has a strong hold and with all the humidity that we have now, it keeps my curls with no freeze. It even holds for two days and you don’t need to use a lot of product. It also dries fast when using diffuser."

How to use
Step 1
Rub the product between your hands and apply on soaking wet hair.
Step 2
Use the “raking/praying hands method” to evenly spread the product throughout your strands.
Step 3
Select your desired styling method (scrunch/fingercurls/shingle) to enhance and define.
Step 4
Air dry or diffuse. Avoid touching your hair excessively while drying as this will create frizz. Once completely dry, scrunch to 'break the light cast' using an oil or serum to make your hair soft and bouncy.

Reviews
Too strong but only fragrance free option available
"Strong hold gel is soo heavy for my thinner and shorter hair. Unfortunately I am limited to only fragrance free products because I am allergic to fragrance and curl smith only has one type of gel in their fragrance free line. It would be nice to see them expand more of their styling products like their lighter gel and the mouse into the fragrance free line"
Great quality and fast delivery
"Best gel I have ever used leaves a hard cast and when broken curls last for days."
It Works!
"This is a great product. It defines and retains my curls. And, I so appreciate having the option to choose a product with no fragrance."
Small bit can achieve soft hold
"I prefer a fluffy curl with no cast but wanted a small bit of frizz control when diffusing. I gambled on gel (especially strong hold) because it’s fragrance free but I’m pleasantly surprised! I dilute a tiny tiny pea size in wet hands and smooth over wet leave in. Diffused hair is so soft and flexible without being too shiny or stiff. It’ll last me forever too."
So, this is my first
"So, this is my first time trying this and so far, I love it!!! Today was my first day of using it and I got a great cast and love that it's fragrance free for those who are sensitive to fragrance and it doesn't leave your hair feeling yucky like some gels do, It's a holy grail"
Excellent Product
"This is an excellent product. I was finding out after time that the fragrances in my products were causing scalp sensitivity with itching and slight hair loss. Now that I have switched two of my products to fragrance free the itching has stopped and my hair is growing back better than ever."
"I’ve almost finished my first bottle of this. My routine is very simple. I wash and condition my hair then i put my hair up for about 2 minutes then spray the Curlsmith heat protector on and brush it through. Then I use the Strong Hold Gel, squeezing some on to my hands and spraying a little bit of water and rubbing it between my hands. I’ll use praying hands and then scrunch it into every hair. I’ll micro plop then repeat the gel step using a little less, them diffuse until almost dry. I then will put the Flawless Curlsmith harspray. This gel really defines my curls as well as giving it enough volume. I can comfortably wear my curls for 2 days using these products. Before i was styling my hair every day. Highly recommend this product and using it with other Curlsmith products."
Fabulously Fragrance-Free Strong-Hold Gel is Fantastic
"I cannot tolerate fragrance, so finding Curlsmith’s strong hold gel has been such a relief. It gives my curls great definition, strong hold, and lasting frizz control without the irritation or overwhelming scent I want to avoid. What I appreciate most is that it still performs beautifully while being gentle enough for my needs. My curls stay shaped, soft, and bouncy, and I never have to worry about fragrance making the experience uncomfortable. For me, this is a perfect option because it delivers exactly what I want from a styling gel while keeping fragrance out of the equation."
Love it!!

Q&A
- Hi. The ingredients page shows a picture of lavender flowers but lavender is not listed in the ingredients list. Could you please confirm whether this product contains lavender or not? I need to avoid. Thank you!
- Hi Palma, Thank you for reaching out! I can confirm that our Fragrance-Free Strong Hold Gel does not contain lavender. The lavender image on the page is just part of the general design and not related to the ingredients in this product. I hope this helps. Thanks, Curlsmith
- How sticky is this formula? Is this the same as the previous fragrance free 9 hold level? I found it so sticky to detangle my curls when it was wash day and don't want to buy it again if that's the case. Or is this more similar to the previous 6 hold level but redesigned? please help! I preferred the 6 but seems like it's been discontinued.
- Hi Julie, Thanks for reaching out! Our Fragrance-Free Strong Hold Gel is the same formula as our former fragrance-free Level 9 hold gel, just in updated packaging. It does provide a strong hold, which can feel a bit firmer or stickier than our medium hold formulas. If you preferred the softer finish of the Level 6 gel, this one may feel stronger by comparison. At this time, we don’t have a direct equivalent to the previous Level 6 fragrance-free gel. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
