Love Ur Curls Irish Sea Moss Hair Gel, Medium Hold Hair Styling Curling Gel for Defined Curly Hair, Waves & Coils, Vegan, Cruelty Free, 236mL

I have 2b/c curls, and have lost some hair over the past few years due to menopause and a low thyroid, so it's not as thick as it used to be. This gel is perfect for my thinning, yet course, wavy/curly hair. It holds my curl so well (in conjunction with a curl creme, which I apply first), helps with frizz, and it doesn't weigh my hair down. It also mixes well with my favorite curl creme by Curlsmith. On refresh days, I mix a little of both products in my hand, emulsify with just a little water, and scrunch it into damp hair, then diffuse. I've tried many different gels over the years, and this is definitely my favorite!!

The bombardment of Instagram ads had me questioning the hype, but I'm glad I gave this a try. For anyone searching like me out there- I have mid-long 2b/2c hair where ringlets form toward the bottom. I was one of those people who couldn't understand why my straight-ish hair was just so puffy, dry at the ends, and overall difficult to manage even with great products, until at 35 I finally realized my hair is curly! So my challenge is balancing hold and softness- I can get some great ringlets to form closer to my roots with strong hold gel, but they don't tend to stay as soft throughout the day and get that "product" feel because my hair is so fine. And it's just too many steps (wetting, clumping, plopping, scrunching, hours to air dry) for it to be so easy for my curls to stretch or frizz out (hello 2b, a few min outside on a windy day is sometimes all it takes). Some days I don't want to try so hard to help my curls form and I was looking for a way to simplify. Using this gel after the all-in-one styler is becoming my go-to. It does not maximize my curls, but it allows me to style with more basic brushing techniques and without starting from sopping wet, and it still gives me defined and soft curl without weighing down the ringlets that do want to form. The frizz protection is pretty good with the all-in-one as a great moisturizing base and the gel forms a decent cast. What frizz does come over time is easily "calmed" with a little water. After months of products, tactics, and time looking to embrace my curl, I was starting to think maybe straightening again isn't so bad. But this product combination has really simplified things and gives me soft, shiny, and almost weightless curls I can be confident about. It's not 100% perfect for me, but I'm giving this 5 stars because it does exactly what it promised.

So my hair just turned curly in the past six months. I’ve had straight hair my whole life, so this is quite a trip! I’ve always wanted curly hair, so rather than fight it, I decided to embrace it…which meant a whole new type of hair education. My hair is fine, but pretty thick. This product helps me define my curls without weighing them down, and definitely tends to keep the frizz at bay better than the other products I’ve tried. I use Love Ur Curls All-in-One before I even get out of the shower. After towel drying it, I use the Irish Sea Moss gel, and this is what I get after using a diffuser to dry. My hair is soft, and the curls hold. I love this product and highly recommend it.

I tried their other styler first because they have a fragrance-free version and I'm very sensitive to fragrance. But, probably because of glycerin being so high in the ingredients, with Ned or high humidity and dew points, my hair puffs out and loses definition-- frizz city. But with this gel, used by itself, I great definition and it holds up nicely even in these Mid Atlantic muggy summer days! Yes my curls will get a bit more puffy throughout the day if I'm outside a lot, but much less than with the other product. I am getting decent 2nd day hair with this and I bet in the winter, I'll easily get good 3rd day curls. I have fine, thinning, 3b/c long hair, very frizz prone. This gel feels heavy, yet I'm able to build lift at the roots with it so my hair doesn't look flat on top. I air dry. Also, this doesn't flake on me, which, after fragrance, and frizz, is the next most common reason I won't repurchase a styling product. I do notice my hair feels more tangly than usual when I co-wash, maybe because the hold is more than I'm used to.My only complaint with this gel is the FRAGRANCE! The company says despite their using synthetic fragrance, it's hypoallergenic, passed safety tests, but that doesn't matter--synthetic fragrance is a known toxin and shouldn't be allowed in any products. I really hope this company will remove the synthetic fragrance component, or better yet, make a completely fragrance free version. I don't even like the scent and I'm shocked that some people love it. It fades over the course of the day thankfully.

Good product 🥰

Very good for curly hair

I have ALOPECIA and my natural hair is growing back, I have tried several products to get my curls to Pop. RIght in the top of my head my hair grew back straight and it takes a lot of product to make it curl. Well This Amazing product has Given me life. The Curls are there and popping, USING very little product to getvthe curls to pop. Love this product. Have been using for three days and I'm in Love . Will purchase more .. the smell is Very Soft, a little on the expensive end, but worth every dime, not sticky, holds all day. And it doesn't make my curls crunchy.

I never leave reviews but this product is the real deal!! I have fine to medium type 2B/2C hair and I always struggle with products either weighing down my hair or not doing enough for frizz. This gel is so lightweight, not crunchy, but still will absolutely hold your curls. I use it alongside Miss Jessie’s pillow curls cream and finish with a lightweight oil to break the curl cast. Do it!!
