Details & care

Perfect for touchable, soft wash & gos, higher density coils, sticky buns and laying down edges. Just the right amount of flex for easy wash days, the rich Babassu-oil infusion means it wont leave your curls, coils or hands dry. A clean, light fragrance makes it perfect for the whole fam. Thats if you can resist keeping it all to yourself. DOUX YOU: Apply to freshly washed, clean, wet, product-free hair in small sections from roots to ends. Use alone or top it off with a small amount of MUSSE DEF Texture Foam for added humidity resistance. Air dry or diffuse, avoid touching it until 100% dry. We mean it. Dont touch. Once dry, fluff & style away.

Absolutely yes
My favorite wash and go gel. Ever. It even activates with water and keeps curls elongated. I need a larger size!

Great at first, but not 24-72 hours later
I really wanted to love this product, but…. It just isn’t for me. When I first used this product, I noticed during application is just didn’t have enough slip and I felt my hair getting tangled despite being fully detangled. When wet with the product applied, the results were the BEST I’ve ever seen, with the juiciest most define curls I’ve had. But unfortunately it did not last long, as less than 72 hours later I was left with the driest, frizziest hair. I tried the product again, this time I applied in while in the shower, and unfortunately the style lasted less than 24 hours. I will stick with As I Am!

Curls
I thought I would get more curl and less frizz. I don't care for the smell either.

Hair so soft and bouncy
I have been searching high and low for a product that didnt leave my 9 year old hair feeling like sand paper. This left her hair so soft and bouncy. I didnt use any other product not even a leave in because I wanted to see what this product really does. BABY I am sold on this one. And I figured out how to do some double stand twist too. So many compliments on how healthy her hair look. Now let me see what im going to try next.

Holy Grail
I found my holy hair grail! My hair loves this gel. I am 3c/4a and it makes my curls right. Not too tight, perfect hold and fat juicy curls galore. Ty!!

Love this gel!
I’ve been using this gel for 2 years but now it’s causing my hair to flake, something in the product changed. Please change it back. Thanks.
