Strong Hold Curl Gel for Longer-Lasting, Defined Curls
Keep your curl pattern looking defined for longer with Clever Curl Long Hold Curl Gel. Designed for wavy, curly and coily hair, this strong hold gel provides flexible strength to help curls retain their shape between wash days.
The formula seals in moisture and protects hair from humidity without forming a cast. Aloe vera, glycerin and panthenol complete the moisture-supporting blend, helping you create lasting definition without the crunch.
After applying your leave-in products, smooth the gel through your hair using praying hands or raking. Gently scrunch for more accentuated curls, then air-dry or diffuse using a low heat setting.

I’ve tried several curl gels, but this one gives the most defined curls without feeling stiff. My curls stay in place all day and don’t lose shape easily. The aloe vera makes my hair feel soft and hydrated.

Great for maintaining curls between washes. It doesn’t dry out my hair like other gels do. I apply it after my leave-in and gently scrunch. Works well in humid weather.
