Reviews

Love at first use

"I absolutely LOVE the Shape Up Aqua Gel. It has been my number one staple in my routine since the first time I tried it at least 4 years ago. It hurts my heart that it has been discontinued by CurlSmith. I’ve tried a lot of the CurlSmith products but this is the only one I have consistently bought over and over again. I really has been the best!"

PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE

"this is by far one of the best gels for fine curly hair. other people clearly feel the same way, here and elsewhere online. not sure why curlsmith keeps discontinuing popular and unique products, changing old formulations that were wonderful, and downgrading the packaging. seems like an attempt to save money and ruin the product. unfortunately, the decline in products and discontinuations mean i will have to take my business elsewhere."

Shape Up Aqua Gel is THE BEST!!!!!!!!

"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!! Because of the Curlsmith Brand, I NO LONGER stress over my hair or have to spend hours doing it!!!! I wash it 1-2 a week and it only takes me 15 minutes to brush and style it!!!!! I have tried ALL products in this brand but the Shape Up Aqua Gel is the absolute BEST!!!! I pair it with the Feather light protein cream and the curling soufflé and I feel like I just walked off a movie set in Hollywood!!!! What can be done to keep this product from being discontinued???"

Best Curl Cream Ever!

"I have been using the Aqua Gel for over 3 years, and it holds my hair so well, but also rinses out in the shower so build-up does not occur. I was so sad to find out it is being discontinued :( This is the only product I have tried that does not cause the eczema on my hands to flare up. I have tried the Flexi Gel, and it works similarly, but it's not the same. I traveled across Europe and used the Aqua Gel almost every day, and it never failed me! Please don't discontinue it!"

— Abigail C. (5/5)

Q&A

Wondering why it is being discontinued. Is something else taking its place?
Hi Sherry, Thanks for reaching out! The Shape Up Aqua Gel is still available online while supplies last, but it will not be restocked once it sells out. We don’t currently have a direct replacement for it, though our other stylers offer similar benefits depending on your hair needs. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
Is this product being discontinued? I don’t see a subscribe option

We recommend grabbing a bottle while supplies last. If you have further questions you can email us at hello@curlsmith.com. Thanks, Curlsmith
Can shape up aqua gel be applied to wet hair; then later to dry hair during the day to control frizz?
Hi Ali, Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes! The Shape Up Aqua Gel can be applied to wet hair for initial styling and later to dry hair to help control frizz throughout the day. Just use a small amount and smooth it over frizzy areas for the best results. If you have additional questions. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith
If I’m applying this and the weightless air dry leave in cream, do I apply them together (like mixed together in my hand and applied at the same time) or first apply the air dry cream, and then apply this gel?
Hi, kim! We recommend applying the weightless air dry cream before applying the gel. I hope that this helps!
How does the Shape Up Aqua Gel compare to the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly?
Aqua Gel: This is our most lightweight styling gel yet. It has an incredible super-fluid texture that effortlessly coats all curls and provides light hold and weightless definition for all curl types. It has a level 5 hold, which makes it our lightest hold styling gel.
