How is this different from our original Enhancing Curl Gel?
It has a stronger, firmer hold. This gel is slightly thicker and contains natural sugar, which helps lift the curls and holds them tighter throughout the drying process.
The gel forms a cast around the curls, which means they will feel crunchy until the cast is scrunched out. To do this wait until your curls are fully dry, then break the cast by scrunching your curls gently with your hands.

Will the Mega Hold Curl Gel help curls stay defined even in humid or damp conditions?
Yes - the Mega Hold Curl Gel is designed to help curls maintain definition and control frizz in humid or damp conditions. Its strong-hold formula helps support curl structure, reducing the impact of moisture in the air that can cause curls to lose shape or frizz.
Naturally derived humectants help balance moisture levels in the hair, while lightweight oils such as Flaxseed Oil, Avocado Oil, and Kukui Nut Oil help smooth the hair cuticle and enhance shine. Together, these ingredients support curl definition while helping minimise frizz caused by changing weather.
Using the gel-cast method and allowing hair to fully dry before scrunching helps maximise hold and humidity resistance.

Is the Mega Hold Curl Gel good for creating long-lasting curls?
Yes - the Mega Hold Curl Gel is ideal for creating curls that last beyond wash day. Once curls have set and dried with a gel cast, scrunching out the cast leaves defined curls that often hold their shape across multiple days.
Curls can be refreshed with a light mist of water or refresh product, making the gel a great option for low-wash routines and second- or third-day styling.
