Heat & Humidity Gel

This gel is a game changer for curly hair, especially in heat and humidity. It has a lightweight, non-sticky texture that spreads easily through the hair and provides great hold without making curls feel crunchy or stiff. It defines curls beautifully, controls frizz, and helps curls keep their shape all day, even in humid or unpredictable weather. I really like that it enhances natural curl pattern while still leaving hair soft and touchable. It works well on wet hair and layers nicely with leave-ins or creams. Overall, it makes curls look more polished, smooth, and long-lasting, and it’s a reliable go-to for frizz control and curl definition.

I have difficult hair. Texture runs from fine to coarse (finer hair on crown and canopy, coarse hair on the lower sections). I also have a LOT of hair. Curl pattern ranges from almost straight to s-waves to medium corkscrew/ringlet curls. For porosity, most of my hair is low porosity, although the coarser bottom layer has some medium-porosity strands. Given that my hair has such great variation, it’s really hard to find products that work for my entire mane. This gel works GREAT for my hair! My best approach for styling has been leave-in conditioner plus lightweight curl cream plus gel that dries to a cast, which I then scrunch out once dry. This gel is wonderful for that. I still experience small amounts of halo frizz (practically unavoidable with my hair. Since the topmost layer is finer, the strands that grow straighter on top refuse to join curl families. If I attempt to finger-curl those baby flyaways they might stay together, but will be practically straight). But overall, gel hold is really good and works over at least two days (I’m on day 3 today- still have some nice bouncy curls despite minimal refresh). This gel doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry or limp, so it works in my routine to maintain my ideal protein/moisture balance levels. Also, I’m highly sensitive to fragrance, especially floral scents. I was concerned when I opened my trial-size bottle to break the seal. It was a mild scent, but definitely floral. I needn’t have been worried though. The fragrance isn’t heavy, and completely disappeared once my hair was dry and I scrunched out the gel cast. On days I’m looking for springier curls, this is quickly going into regular rotation. My other almost-holy-grail product (verb foaming gel) works best for softer/tamer curls For background: despite trying multiple approaches and various levels of fidelity to the curly-girl method, I’ve found my best bet is to find products that work for my hair, no matter whether they include forbidden ingredients. Despite having self-admitted difficult hair, it’s extremely tolerant to sulfates and water-soluble silicones. The strict curly girl method was a complete fail for my hair over the 1-2 years+ I attempted it. I’ve spent the past few years trying various products to see what works for me.

I bought this gel to see if the hype was true. I have to say I am really liking how soft and manageable it has been leaving my hair. I love that it doesn’t weigh my hair and if tames frizz.

I dont normally leave reviews however this product is good. Its a must have product. Its the best product ive ever used on my 2b curls. Its light, the gel literally drips from my palm. I have fine strands and its very lightweight. I would’ve given it 5 stars if the seal isnt broken when I unscrewed the cap. Overall the product is really good. I will buy it again.

I love this Ouidad Heat & Humidity Gel! 💖✨ It keeps my curls defined, frizz-free, and soft all day, even in humid weather. The texture is lightweight and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. Perfect for anyone struggling with frizz — I highly recommend it!

What a great product for curly hair. Controls frizz and enhances curls

It's not bad, but probably better for someone in a more dry climate than I'm in. (New England) It weighs down my curls a little more than I'd prefer (2b-3a hair type) as I like a more fluffy/voluminous hold. But it is GREAT for anti-frizz and definition.

LOVE this gel! Helped tame my curls so well and a little goes a long way. My curls are less frizzy in the humidity and last much longer. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue feeling which I love. Great option for a good price.

Creates amazing curls with little to no frizz when used with a curl brush/comb. Hair isn’t crunchy and feels silky. A must have for curly hair folk.

I really like this product as someone new to "curly girl" methods. This keeps the frizz down and helps curls to clump together with no heaviness. Recommend. (I have 2C curls/waves)

Perfect for my curls

Amazing perfect for curly hair! Very light weight and makes curls shiny!

Lo he probado hoy y me encanta como me ha dejado el cabello. Me re activa los rizos, me lo deja suave, brilloso y sin apelmazar. Con tan solo te pongas un poco nada más en la mano, te lo deja súper bonito. Es caro y no trae mucho la verdad, el bote es algo pequeño pero vale la pena cada euro que me he gastado en este producto. Además de que me lo deja efecto mojado que es mi look preferido. Realmente lo volveré a comprar y además de que probaré otros productos de esta marca. Estoy muy muy satisfecho. Hacia mucho tiempo que buscaba un producto que me dejara el efecto mojado, sin apelmazar y nada de volumen ya que odio el volumen porque tengo mucho frizz y poroso y este producto me lo deja de maravilla!!! P.S. lo he probado un día con muchísima humedad y me lo ha dejado estupendo. Es importante aclarar esto porque los productos que son anti frizz y anti humedad deben ponerse a prueba un día de mucha humedad para saber si el producto realmente sirve.
