This gelée is specially designed for curly and wavy hair that frizzes quickly or loses shape. In the Curls collection, you’ll find more curl products, but this gelée is your go-to for lasting hold and shine without heavy ingredients.

• Protects curls from frizz and humidity for up to 72 hours
• Medium hold you can build up as you like
• No flakes or hard, stiff curls
• Heat protection up to 232°C when diffusing
• No Si silicones, parabens or gluten
• Softens and strengthens thanks to Vegan protein
• Light texture: suitable for fine to medium hair

1. Apply to freshly washed, still damp hair.
2. Distribute a small amount evenly through your curls, from bottom to top.
3. Squeeze your curls upwards and let hair air dry or use a diffuser.
4. Wait until your hair is completely dry. You’ll feel a hard layer around each curl.
5. Gently squeeze that layer with your hands. This makes your curls soft and flexible without losing shape.

Want an even better result? Use the Joico Curls Like Us Hydrate & Define Curl Crème Styler first on wet hair. That cream adds extra moisture before the gelée locks in curls. Together they create hydrated, defined curls.

Your curls stay shaped all day because the gelée forms a thin protective layer around each curl. This layer keeps damp air out, preventing swelling or frizz. This effect comes from VP/VA copolymer, a film-forming ingredient that holds curls without weighing down hair.

Your hair also feels cared for and stronger thanks to hydrolyzed pea protein. These small protein particles bind to the hair shaft and temporarily fill small damage. The result: curls not only look great but break less easily. A good Si silicone-free styler that truly works for curly hair.

Yes, definitely. The light gelée texture and absence of Si silicones and heavy butters make it ideal for fine to medium curly hair. Heavy creams and oil-rich products can weigh fine hair down, but this gelée offers grip without weight.

If you have very dry or severely damaged hair, it’s smart to use a leave-in cream or the Joico Curls Like Us Hydrate & Define Curl Crème Styler before applying the gelée. The gelée is primarily a styling product, not intensive care. That extra step gives you the best of both worlds.

Joico claims the gelée protects curls from frizz in high humidity for up to 72 hours. This is based on tests comparing treated hair with untreated hair under humid conditions.

In practice, this means your curls still look defined at the end of a humid day. The effect is strongest when applied as recommended: on wet hair with the dried cast squeezed out. Using it on dry or damp hair gives less predictable results.

Yes, and it’s even recommended. The gelée works well as the final step in your routine. Apply a cream or leave-in first for moisture, then finish with gelée for hold and frizz control. The Joico Curls Like Us Smooth & Bounce Curl Hydrating Foam is a light option if you want extra volume without weighing hair down.
