Shea Moisture Curling Gel Soufflé Coconut & Hibiscus 12 oz — Moisturizing Hold for Thick Curly Hair

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé is a moisturizing styling gel made to define, hydrate, and reduce frizz in thick, wavy, and curly hair.

This 12 oz Curling Gel Soufflé combines certified Shea Butter with coconut oil, flaxseed and agave nectar to deliver slip, shine, and humidity resistance while supporting curl pattern. Formulated without silicones, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil or petrolatum, the gel-soufflé texture blends styling hold with conditioning ingredients so curls look defined without feeling crunchy.

How do I use this gel to define my curls?

Apply sparingly to wet or damp hair for best curl formation. Work through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute product evenly, then allow hair to air dry or diffuse on a cool setting to protect the curl structure.

• Use a pea-to-quarter-sized amount depending on hair thickness and length.
• For twist-outs and defined coils, apply to thoroughly wet hair and twist or finger-coil.
• Smooth through ends to seal and reduce frizz.
• Refresh dry hair with a small amount to tame flyaways and boost definition.

What benefits will I notice after using it?

The formula delivers instant hydration and improves manageability for dry or over-processed curls, helping them look more uniform and glossy. Its blend of humectants and oils helps lock in moisture while offering a soft, non-rigid finish.

• Visible curl definition and separation without hard cast.
• Reduced frizz and smoother surface texture.
• Enhanced sheen from coconut oil and shea butter.
• Moisture retention aided by flaxseed and agave nectar.

Is this suitable for tight coils and kinky hair types?

Yes — the Soufflé is designed to perform well on thicker textures, including tight coils and kinky strands. Applied to wet hair it helps provide greater control and sealing ability, making it a practical choice for twist-outs, braid-outs, and styles that need hold plus moisture.

• Apply on soaking-wet hair for maximum sealing and elongation.
• Works well as a base for twist or braid styling techniques.
• Helps manage shrinkage while maintaining curl elasticity.
• Pairs with diffusing on cool settings for definition without heat damage.

How does this product fit into a curly-hair routine?

Use it after cleansing and conditioning as your styling step to lock in moisture and set curl shape. It can be combined with leave-in conditioners or light creams depending on the level of hydration and hold you need.

• Start with a hydrating shampoo and a slip-rich conditioner.
• Follow with a leave-in if extra moisture is required, then apply the Soufflé.
• Diffuse or air-dry; scrunch or set as desired for volume and definition.
• Use small amounts for daily refreshes to avoid buildup.
