Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer

CURLSMITH

SOLD OUT

This item is no longer available. Browse our recommendations for something similar.

Details & care

What it is: A rock star of a styler, this nonsticky jelly will provide perfect definition to your curls, coils or waves.

Who it's for: Ideal for all curly hair and texture types.

What it does: Not only does this curl retainer provide frizz reduction, but it also helps define your curls with a medium hold, without any stiffness or crunch. This is all thanks to the brand's special tri-oil recipe, which includes sunflower, watermelon and argan oils. These oils work together to create an invisible coat to the hair to prevent absorption of water and reduce frizz, leaving curls feeling soft, shiny and healthy looking. This styler is truly complete with a refreshing scent of mango, papaya, citrus and aloe.

How to use: After priming your hair with Curlsmith Frizz Control Duo Conditioner (sold separately), apply the Curl Retainer to wet hair. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands. Use the praying hands method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Scrunch to encourage curl formation, then air dry or diffuse. It can be used every wash day.

  • 8 oz.

Frizz Gone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product maintains my hair silky, bouncy and frizz free in tropical humid weather and any other weather when I travel. All I need to do is adjust how much is required according to weather. Cannot live without it.

Not for me
Dried completely white throughout my hair as if I had dandruff. Really disappointed and wanting it to work.

Great curl definition for fine curls
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! It offers great curl definition without weighing down fine curls. Great hold without a crunchy feel. Doesn't dry out my hair or leave product buildup.

Works Perfectly for Wavy Hair
Works so well for wavy, medium to thin hair. It isn't too heavy which is a miracle, because so many wavy or curly hair products are too heavy for me to use. So, so glad I found Curlsmith!

Does nothing for my hair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does nothing for my hair. Makes my hair look dirty and lackluster.

Recipe change
This used to be my favorite gel, but whenever Curlsmith underwent the packaging redesign something changed with this formula. It is now an entirely different consistency, color, texture, and hold, and I’m so disappointed because I wasn’t even given a warning that this would be changing so I could stock up on it.

My go-to styler!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a fan of the Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer for quite a while and have found this product to work best on my hair. It keeps my hair from frizzing, holds the curls in place, and it great to use, wiht a little water, as a next day curl refresher.
