Not great for thick hair

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really bright thick hair. My curly hair routine has a lot of steps but to give this product a try all I use was this and I left some conditioner in my hair. One thing that threw me off was the smell it smelt like a baby soap product and from that I just knew it wasn't gonna work. As I was putting the product in it looked nice my curls looked wonderful but once it dried I looked like a troll doll. I would say if you have thin hair it would work better or even for the kids

No, I do not recommend this product.

Beautiful curls!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks now and have to say that, my curls have definitely changed for the better! More definition, more bounce! Don't need a lot of this either for it to work it's magic. I have long, thick hair and it's amazing how I don't need to use much of this product for it to work! I would definitely recommend this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1. **Comparison to other products**: - **Personal Experience**: The product seemed to have different effects on different hair types. While it didn't work well for my hair, it worked wonderfully for your granddaughter's biracial hair. - **Variability**: This variability suggests that the product may be more specialized for certain hair types or textures, as opposed to being universally effective across all hair types. 2. **Benefits of owning these products**: - **Hair Type Suitability**: The product seems to be suitable for certain hair types, like my granddaughter's biracial hair, holding curls effectively. - **Potential for Customization**: If there are multiple people with different hair types in your household, owning this product could provide a solution for each individual's needs. 3. **Personal Purchase Decision**: - **Personal Preference**: I might not buy the product for myself due to its effects on your hair—making it dry and hard. - **Consideration for Others**: However, considering its positive impact on my granddaughter's hair, I might still see value in purchasing it for her. 4. **Recommendation to Friends or Family**: - **Tailored Recommendations**: I could recommend the product to friends or family members who have a similar hair type to my granddaughter's, as it worked well for her. - **Caution for Different Hair Types**: For those with different hair types other than my granddaughter's, you might caution against using the product based on my own experience.

Creamy Gel!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have curly 3a/b slightly damaged hair, this is my first time using a gel like this. It's almost a creamy gel that smooths over my hair nicely, there was a nice amount of slip which is a major bonus and this gave a great cast. I was surprised this didn't get crispy like the other gels I've used. I did notice that it relaxed my curls a little bit but that's not a major issue because of how well the hold was. Smells fresh and not overly chemically scented. I have neuropathy so it's always hard to open gel tubes like this but didn't have a problem opening this gel. All around a really nice gel for curly hair! Definitely recommend!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect for humid days

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a lot of gels, creams, sprays, pomades, etc to get my hair under control, particularly in humidity. I liked how the consistency in this was not very sticky, but had enough hold that it lasted the whole day with maybe just a splash to reactivate in the evening. The tube is easy to squeeze and ensure you get a good amount without having to dig your fingers into a container. Overall, I felt this gave my hair good definition, shine, and volume without being sticky, or making my hair look chunky or greasy. Would definitely recommend this to my curly girls who need definition for their hair without getting the 90's crunchy look or weighing hair down.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Soft sculpting gel

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this curling gel with the curling cream and mist that I received complimentary, thanks to Bzzagent and Redken, for my honest review. I typically wear my hair straight as it is very difficult to find curling products that I actually like that work with my hair. I loved these products. I found the gel to be a nice consistency without being too sticky and it enhanced and helped formed my curls without making them crunchy or stiff. This had a nice floral set without being too strong that I really enjoyed. I also found that the gel and cream worked really well together and left my hair full and soft with minimal frizz.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Works really well on damaged frizzy curls

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] was given this product in exchange for my opinion. I have fairly bleach damaged frizzy curls and it can be pretty hard to find a system that can control the frizz without being so heavy it weighs my curls down. I found this product to do a very good job of fighting the frizz without making my hair limp. I used the curl cream and the gel together and defused and the curls held for 3 days and I was able to revive them to a pretty frizz free state using a little water plus the curl reactivator. I also really appreciated that these products don't have much of a scent so they shouldn't aggravate allegies to scent.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Redken's Curl Sculpting Gel is a Keeper for 2C/3A

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found that following instructions and applying the gel to damp hair did not give me the curl definition I need. However applying the gel to my wet hair provided more definition. With Redkens curl gel I find that my curls start closer to.my roots creating more volume at the roots which I like. The gel.smells.great & the fragrance lingers which I also.like.The.hold it provides does not last for 72 hours as stated. I find that I need to reset my hair after sleeping on it with a spray bottle and reapply the gel resulting in fresh bouncy curls. The curls are a little crunchy and results in a slightly wet look. I find the gel to be fast drying. I will continue to use the gel in my daily routine

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these products on fresh, damp hair. Having unruly, unmanageable, frizzy hair good positive results are hard to come by. The product had a nice fresh dewy scent and feel , great coverage and shine, non sticky or flaky and my curls had life to them. They actually formed and bounced. It really lasts all day and then some. Thanks

Light weight hold

2 years ago

The best sculpting curl gel

Hold Please!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't typically go for gel-based products in my natural curls routine, because my hair craves hydration and most gels tend to dry my hair out. I used the Hydrating Curl Cream underneath this product after washing with Redken's Cleansing Cream Clarifying Shampoo. Separated hair into large sections and applied product to wet hair. I opted for double strand twists on my 4C hair and let it air dry. Product description meets most of its promise - Sculpt - YES! Style and define curls, YES! Non-sticky, ABSOLUTELY! But crunch-free, NOT EXACTLY! While my curls were super defined and moisturized and there was enough hold to maintain style a few days without having to style again, it was crunchy to the touch (which usually happens when I sit under a hooded dryer). Unfortunately, as it dried I did notice flaking at the roots. It was not as noticeable when I took the twists apart. Overall, it is better than most gels I have tried on my hair type. I will use it again with less product (a little goes a long way) to see if that helps reduce the crunch factor and flaking. *I received a free product in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

Lots of curls!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Redken Sculpting Curl Gel Redken Refreshing Curl Mist Thank you to Redken who kindly gave me Redken Sculpting Curl Gel and Redken Refreshing Curl Mist for free so that I could review them. I am reviewing these products together as I am using them together. Redken Sculpting Curl Gel has a creamy smooth texture without a greasy feel. The Curl Gel has a pleasant scent which I enjoy in my hair products and not in facial products. I have thick naturally curly hair that also has frizz. I've tried so many products trying to "embrace the curl!" This Curl Gel really shaped my curls. If my hair wasn't so thick, I think I would like how this product works better than I did. After my hair dried, I sprayed on the Curl Mist ( also has a please scent). I love how the curl mist helps to tame the frizz. That was the game changer. Ultimately, I ended up gently flat ironing my hair to get the bulk out. (I failed at embracing my curls.) I sprayed in more Curl Mist and love how my hair looks and better yet feels. So for me, I like applying both of these to get a looser curl. For those looking for more hold and more defined curls, this works great!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good curl gel, a little goes a long way on my hair!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Redken Sculpting curl gel on my wet clean hair and then scrunched and diffused my hair. My curls at first felt a little stiff (that may have had to do with using too much product for my hair though) but after "scrunching the crunch" my hair was still of very well formed curls and stayed in pattern the whole day. I only gave 4 stars because the lasting power after the first day was not there so I ended up needing to re-wet my day 2 hair and add more product for my curls to be presentable for work. That is okay to me because the size of the product itself is huge and will last me 6 months to a year even with regular use!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing curl Gel

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The last step to finish defining my curls is the gel, I apply it in parts throughout my hair and then scrunch it. This gel is the best because it helps your curls maintain their shape for several days. It has good hold but does not harden or dry them out. The curl maintains its shape without frizz for several days. When applying it you have to be careful because it is a little watery and it can spill. If you want defined curls that last several days and look healthy, this is the gel for you. I liked it and would buy it again

Yes, I recommend this product.

I traded in my cream for gel!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3b/3c curls and have used a curl cream for many years. I wanted to try a curl gel as I haven't used one in a long time. In my experience, they make my hair sticky, wet-looking and don't define my curls. This one proved me wrong. It defined my curls and made my hair feel soft. My curls lasted four days with light touch-ups with the Redken refresh spray. I also loved the fresh scent. A little goes a long way. I feel a bottle will last me a long time. I have since replaced my curl cream with the Redken curl gel. My teenage son also has curly hair and has been using it and loves it. I recommend to all my curly friends!

Yes, I recommend this product.

My curls have never looked better

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free (thank you!). I have thick, frizzy, curly hair. I usually use hair mousse because it's the only thing that keeps my curls in place and prevents frizz. So I was excited to use this curl gel. My concerns were super crunchy hair so I wanted to see if this gel would cause that. I showered as usual and let my hair dry a little bit. The gel recommended to apply to damp hair and work in sections. So that's exactly what I did. One thing I noticed was the texture of the gel, it's not sticky at all, and melts into the hair easily. I then let my hair air dry (I don't like using diffusers, they always introduce frizz). The curls turned out amazing! Super shiny and NOT crunchy at all. It's a very light product. I will definitely be buying this gel in the future.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This one takes it for me

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product redefines what you might expect from traditional hair gel. Instead of the typical alcohol-based formulas that can leave your hair dry and stiff, this gel boasts a creamy texture that's a total game-changer. It applies smoothly without any of the usual drying effects, maintaining the hair's natural softness and enhancing its shine without leaving any greasy residue. One of the standout claims of this product is its ability to control curls for up to 72 hours, and it holds true to that promise impressively. My hair maintained its desired style, stayed manageable, and looked healthy throughout the entire period. I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to keep their curls in check with a product that also nurtures their hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a free gifted product I graciously received through BzzAgent and I have been absolutely loving it. I had a hard time finding a gel that holds my ringlets and isn't flaky and crunchy leaving me to wash my hair the next morning. With this sculpting curl gel my hair dried in perfect curls and it looked so shiny and perfect without having to wash it off every day, this is my 3rd day with it in and it still feels so light and I have been able to add more product and keep my curls looking bouncy and hydrated. I highly, highly recommend this product. I will be buying this as a staple because it smells so great, has an amazing formula and makes my hair look amazing.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing gel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free for my honest review and man, am I glad I did. I have a holy grail line now!! I have 3b natural frizzy curly hair. It's hard to find products that really work for me and dont leave my hair crunchy and greasy looking. That is until I tried the redken curl line. After my hair is super wet i scrunch about a quarter size of the sculpting curl gel in and I'm left with beautiful frizz free soft curls with no crunch. I will continue to use this line. I am beyond impressed which is very hard to believe as my hair is so temperamental lol. For me I have the best outcome when I use the curl cream first then gel after. But I love this line!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have Mariah Carey curls so very spiral and very frizzy hair. I usually use a leave in spray, leave in conditioner, and a gel. I tried a refreshing spray and gel on my hair and it was nice. Air dried beautifully and did take away the frizz but I did have to add a cream for more hydration. This is not a holding gel but a gel that will take away friz. Not my favorite but did what it says it will do. This is better for, in my opinion, someone with fine thin hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I sectioned my hair in 4 and applied the curl gel and combed it through my hair and I instantly seen the juicy curls. It's hot now in the south and in the sun and heat my curls were bouncy and shiny and the curls lasted for 4 whole days. I'm really impressed with the curl gel and will purchase again and recommend to my family and friends.

I'll buy this over and over again from now on. Pictures are of first day curls and then 5 days later with no touch ups.

Salon Quality and Easy to style with.

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this sculpting curl gel to try for my honest opinion and it's definitely salon quality! If you want to achieve the latest styles with that wet curl look or full, bouncy, curls you NEED this! It doesn't leave a hard crunch at all; but it keeps curls tight and in tact with no fly aways. My hair is still soft to touch using this. It's really a great high quality sculpting gel that's definitely worth the value. The consistency isn't sticky and it's easy to style with. A little goes a long way. It's an investment to be able to get salon styles at home. I totally recommend and will be buying regularly.

Yes, I recommend this product.

YMMV - not a one and done for coarse, curly hair

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: I received this product for free for an honest review. I was super excited to receive this product from redken, as I had recently moved away from blow drying my hair straight to embracing the natural curliness. At first glance, the viscosity of this product is…interesting. I did apply it to my hair without any other products to get a true feel of how this product behaves. Given the gloopy viscosity, I was surprised when a really hard gel cast hardened over my hair and pretty excited as well. The gel cast really supported my curl pattern, and I was able to sleep without the gel cast breaking up! I loved how my curls looked in the gel cast, but upon breaking up the cast the following morning, I felt like my hair looked and felt more dull, and dry. I think if you layer this with a leave in conditioner, or you have finer hair, this would be a slam dunk.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn't think I would enjoy but I do

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. First off, I've never been a huge fan of hair gels. In my experience they make my hair crunchy and unmanageable but that hasn't been the case with this gel at all. The formula is sooo nice compared to others! It's thick and slightly tacky with fair hold. It doesn't dry out my hair like other gels when it dries down so I don't have to deal with any weird texture or my hair feeling like straw. The jojoba oil and squalane in the formula work to hydrate your strands while smoothing flyaways and adding definition to curls. Highly recommend.

Yes, I recommend this product.

A Must Have for Curly & Coily Hair!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Redken's Sculpting Curl Gel has a lightweight yet strong hold formula that allows you to define, hydrate, and tame frizzy, curly hair for up to 72 hours without weighing it down! I was really impressed with Redken's Sculpting Curl Gel! This gel was lightweight and wasn't sticky like most gels but it held my 3c curls all day! It has a light floral fragrance that I love! This gel left my curls defined, shiny, soft, and frizz-free all day! A little goes a long way so this 8.5oz tube will last a long time and will be a great investment! I got so many compliments on my hair and the scent when I paired this with Redken's Refreshing Curl Mist! I highly recommend Redken's Sculpting Curl Gel to all my fellow curly-haired individuals! This product was sent to me from #bzzagent and #Redken in exchange for my honest review. Thank you for introducing me to another fantastic product!!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Soft Hold

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product compliments of BzzAgent and Redken, in exchange for an honest review. I used this on my daughters hair for a twist out. This sculpting gel provided a light hold and left little to no residue. Her twist out did not last as long even with the combo of the sculling gel and refreshing curl mist. I can see this being great for softer curls but wasn't as efficient on coarse curls.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Smooth sailing

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied the gel to freshly washed shampoo and condition hair. My son's hair is very curly and doesn't lay down with gel. This gel was top tier for smoothing the curls . The gel had a pleasant refreshing smell.I found this gel not be too sticky. I would recommend that the gel be a little more thicker . I found it to be on the more liquid side. The hold of the gel lasted my son a week and half.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent lightweight gel

a year ago
The gel smells AMAZING. I used this product on towel dried hair after using some rebel tame frizz dismiss as a leave in. I brushed styled my hair and diffused. The product is very light and easy to spread on your hair. The gel controlled my frizz and also defined my curls. I’m only on day 2 but so far I am very impressed. I would love to also try the mist and curl cream.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Gorgeous Non-Crunchy Curls

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Redken Sculpting Hair Gel for free in return for honest review and opinion. I have thick, long curly hair that gets frizzy easy and am always looking for a good hair gel. I washed my hair as normal and first applied the curl cream from root to tip. Next, I applied the Redken Sculpting Hair Gel from Root to tip. I diffused my hair like normal scrunching as it dried. My curls dried beautifully. My curls were defined, bouncy and soft, not crunchy. The product had not left a sticky or hard film on my hair. I am very impressed and love the product. I will definitely be purchasing!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent sculpting gel!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing sculpting gel. I absolutely love this line! Amazing and gentle to curly hair. I like a strong hold gel because my curls don't always stay defined past "wash day". This gel is definitely strong holding and my curls lasted longer! I also like the medium hold gel. It smells great. Not sticky. Not oily. Just perfect! I highly recommend it

Yes, I recommend this product.

Damaged my hair

2 years ago
It fried my hair gave me a color chemical burn. My hair has never gotten damaged from using shades eq this was my 1st time using shades eq plus bonder . My hair strand elasticity strength is weak and breaks off and coils back crunchy , it feels like gum I used it as directed and I don’t have any medications and it felt horrible while I rinsed it with just water before I used my vegan shampoo It’s been a horrible experience, I’ve been using non permanent hair color for a couple years now to regrow natural healthy hair. And now my entire hair strand is damaged. I contacted redken directly and the rep was rude and kept talking about herself and how she’s a chemist and she burns her hair off and blah blah blah. Very rude I’m literally in shock .

No, I do not recommend this product.

If you use it correctly, it is magical

a year ago
My stylist uses this on my hair when I get my balayage lightening. Rather than paying 80.00 for a toner application only between full services, I decided to try it at home. Mixed it exactly as was described using 2 bonder colors (9V and 10GRo), 000 crystal clear, and the processing solution. Applied to clean, dry hair and left it on for 20 minutes. May hair looks like I just left the salon. It is shiny, soft and the color is exactly what I was looking for. I realize doing a home hair color job is not always recommended and can be done incorrectly, but I followed all the directions and it came out perfect.

Yes, I recommend this product.

DREADFUL PRODUCT!!

2 years ago
I used the product a week ago. It made my hair extremely, dry, fizzy and stiff -- more like straw than hair. I to correct the situation by using deep conditioner, mask, your 25 Benefits One United in an attempt to reverse the damage/condition -- no improvement. I couldn't be more upset, worried, unhappy and at loss as to how to restore my hair to its previous state..

No, I do not recommend this product.

Crap product

I used the shades eq gloss and the gel product with it and my hair is HORRIBLE now. The color is cute but my gorgeous soft long hair is freaking straw now. I can’t even wear it down it’s so staticky. Redken ruined my hair
