Details & care

What it is: A silky, hydrating curl jelly that tames, shapes and styles, making coils seem more manageable.

Who it's for: Ideal for those with tight (3B, 3C) or coily (4A, 4B, 4C) hair.

What it does: It smoothes and defines curls without the crunch while a highly conditioning formula provides slip and detangling while styling. Macadamia, neem and apricot oils moisturize and detangle strands. Curls are left ultra-shiny, smooth and defined.

How to use: Smooth through damp curls. Define and style as desired. Hair can be diffused or air-dried.

Amazing for Air Drying Curls

Oribe Curl Gelee is the best product if you want volume and no crunch. After shampooing I smoothed the Gelee thru wet hair, did normal hand scrunching and let it air dry. I have a blunt cut bob so I suggest a bit more work on the top if that make sense?

Don’t fall in love because you’ll never get it

I love this product. I want to buy it again. I’ve signed up to receive an email when restocked. I click to shop when I’m notified with the same minute I receive the notification but cannot buy it. ORIBE MAKE IT WORK. only thing I don’t like about the product itself is the packaging is hard to open

Hair Looks Great Next Day

I love the scent and the fact that my hair looks nice 2 days later, definitely less frizz than other products I have tried.

AMAZING CURLS

This product literally transformed my hair the first time I used it! I applied to damp hair and let it air dry. My curls were defined, shiny, and bouncy. With zero frizz. I woke up to the same beautiful hair I went to bed with. Typically the front of my hair would get frizzy from sleeping but this kept everything in its place! No crunchy feeling!

moisture moisture

Definitely controls my curls and really defines them. There is a tiny cast , which I like but as son as you scrunch hair when dry it is so bouncy and moisturized and not hard at all . Hair also has a glass shine and feels like there is nothing in hair

THE BEST hair gel for Curly hair Ever

This is SO good I take it to hair salons to use on me instead of their crunchy, drying products. My hair is colored & shoulder-length tight curls. I use a Glob of it on damp hair, distributing evenly. I partially blow dry in winter & air dry the rest of the time. My curls bounce and shine! They stay in place & are SOFT! Even my neurologist (super professional) had his hands in my hair during a recent series of shots in my neck - he couldn’t get over how shiny and soft the curls were! And it smells so good. I can tell my hair is no longer dry at all. I ran out & my normal source can’t get it - I panicked. Thank you, Nordstrom!

Great hair day.

I love this for my hair. I have very long hair and do not like the feeling of mouse or gels but this product I love to use. It does not make my hair hard or stiff. Leaves a shine and luxury scent that lingers for days.

Great shine with soft hold

Finally a hold that’s not crunchy but eliminates frizz! I get compliments on the scent as well

Wanted to love it

I got a sample of this from my hair salon since I have curly/wavy hair and love the smell of Oribe. Unfortunately, it really didn’t have enough of a hold to battle my frizz and define my curls. I had really high hopes but it’s definitely not for my hair.

Love this product

Product doesn’t leave a white film even when mixed with other products. Insane shine and hold. Smells amazing! Been loyal to this gel for over 6 years now. Only need to buy once a year; a little goes a long way.
