"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 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"
"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."
"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."
"I bought this strong hold gel but was scared to use it. I previously tried the in-shower style fixer but left my hair too hard and feeling weird that I returned it. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cast, which is why I bought this gel. This one, on the other hand is soft. It leaves no cast, which I usually dislike but leaves good curl definition. I’m still messing with it but I like it."
"Truly the best gel out there. I have fragrance sensitivity and this gel not only keeps the headaches at bay but it also keeps my curls super defined yet still moisturized in a very humid, southern climate. I had a good friend try this gel when she came to visit me from out of town. She has finer, less dense, and more tightly coiled hair than mine and she was in AWE of how well this gel performed. When she got home she immediately purchased herself a bottle."
"I have fine 3A curls and really dislike fragranced hair products, so this gel is fantastic because it has no scent and it provides an super strong cast that results in fantastic, long-lasting hold to my curls. The product out of the bottle is very thick, so I do add a tiny bit of water water to it to provide more slip when I rake it through my hair. It's the only gel I use and a little goes a long way, so one large bottle last a long time. Great value for money!"
"I had never figured out a good routine for my hair and I always felt like I looked sort of like I had gone through a tornado with my hair frizzy and seeming to have a mind of its own. Enter Curlsmith Fragrance Free Stong Hold Gel. This stuff is incredible. I often only use this as a styler although sometimes I use a cream beforehand. It has the most incredible hold and yet once it dries and I scrunch it out- super soft bouncy curls! I also get headaches from strong scents sometimes so having a fragrance free hair gel that doubles as the best gel I’ve ever used is a no-brainer. I will never buy any other gel. Curlsmith you are my Hero…. nowww I’d love fragrance free versions of all the other recipes 😍"
"First time using Curlsmith. I like this product, but I don't think it has a very strong hold. I have wavy hair, and I feel that I could use a little bit more definition and longer-lasting results."
