Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Curl-Defining Gel & Cream 2-Pack — Frizz Control, Rice Curl Complex (9.7 fl oz)

Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Frizz Control Sculpting Gel & Defining Cream 2-Pack combines a flexible-firm gel and a moisturizing cream to define curls, reduce frizz, and boost shine without flakes.

Two complementary styling products arrive together so you can layer, mix or alternate them depending on your curl pattern and desired hold. Formulated with a Rice Curl Complex plus keratin amino acids and enzymes, this set is designed to improve curl retention and hydration for natural, color-treated, or varied-texture curls. Both formulas are free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, drying alcohols, gluten, dyes, and are cruelty-free.

How do these two products work together for curl definition?

The gel provides a flexible-firm hold that sculpts and reduces frizz while the cream adds moisture, smoothness, and shine. Use the cream first to seal and hydrate, then layer the gel to lock shape and minimize flyaways for longer-lasting results.

• Gel: flake-free, flexible-firm hold for sculpting and definition
• Cream: moisture-sealing, softening, and shine-enhancing properties
• Layering: cream then gel for hydrated, defined curls with controlled frizz
• Mixing: adjust ratios for more hold or more softness depending on curl type

Will this pair work on my specific curl type and color-treated hair?

Yes — both formulas are created to be gentle and versatile across curly hair types, from loose waves to tight coils, and are safe for color-treated hair. The Rice Curl Complex and keratin amino acids support hydration and manageability without harsh surfactants or heavy silicones.

• Suitable for all curl textures and natural hair
• Safe for color-treated and chemically styled hair
• Free of common irritants and drying alcohols
• Designed to enhance curl retention and reduce frizz

How should I use each product in my styling routine?

Start on clean, damp hair: distribute a nickel-to-quarter-sized amount of the defining cream through lengths and ends to lock in moisture. Apply the gel next, scrunching or smoothing depending on your technique, then air-dry or diffuse for best definition.

• Apply cream to damp hair to moisturize and seal cuticles
• Follow with gel to sculpt and lock hold without stiffness
• Scrunch or rake through curls to shape, then air-dry or diffuse
• Adjust amounts by hair density and curl tightness

What key ingredients are in these formulas and what do they do?

The set centers on a Rice Curl Complex complemented by keratin amino acids and enzymes to hydrate, condition, and help maintain curl shape. These actives aim to support elasticity, reduce dryness, and improve overall manageability while remaining lightweight.

• Rice Curl Complex: helps with curl retention and hydration
• Keratin amino acids: support strength and smoothness
• Enzymes: aid conditioning and manageability
• Clean formulation: no sulfates, silicones, parabens, or drying alcohols

Who is this for? This 2-pack is ideal for people with curly, wavy, or coily hair seeking a customizable routine that balances moisture and hold. If you like to layer products, experiment with textures, or need a fragrance- and protein-friendly system that’s safe for color-treated strands, this pair gives styling options without harsh ingredients.
