I’m asking because of the coconut oil in it.** A: In my opinion absolutely not. Unfortunately it does have phenoxethanol though which burns my scalp and can cause sensitivity over time. But are you sure you have an issue with all coconut oil? All the other ingredients are so awesome I wish I could use this. **Q: i have fine, thin, low porosity, frizz prone that does not keep a hold with foams, mousse or jelly.** A: The Curlsmith in shower style fixer is lightweight, which is great for fine hair that has trouble holding curl. This product has really good frizz control. Tip: leave your hair soaking wet while applying the product. I use this product alone, and I get great curls. **Q: is this for black hair 4c type?** A: It's an extreme hold styling gel, great to define your curls and keep the hold for long, no matter the weather. Because of its strong hold, it's quite a thick gel, so make sure you use it on soaking wet hair to allow it to coat all strands perfectly! Great for 4c hair types **Q: Which product in this line do I use to moisturize with before applying the gel?** A: You can use the Weightless Air Dry cream leave in conditioner ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best for curls *by on Reviewed in the United States May 28, 2026* Hands down, my favorite curly hair product and worth every penny...and yes, I have tried them all. I love the smell, the curls, the hold, and it's not crunchy....oh and I am POSITIVE it cuts my drying time in have with whatever magic that is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go-To Curly Hair Style Fixer *by on Reviewed in the United States March 30, 2026* I’ve gone through sooo many curl gels, and this one is easily one of my favorites. The hold is super strong, but somehow my hair still feels soft after I scrunch it out. No weird crunch or stiffness once it dries, just really defined curls that actually last all day.Big bonus—it really helps with frizz. My shoulder length curly hair usually puffs up by mid-day, but this keeps everything looking way more under control, even when it’s humid. Also doesn’t flake or get gross when I layer it with my other products, which I appreciate.A little goes a long way too, so the bottle lasts forever. Honestly just a really solid gel that does what it’s supposed to do. Definitely a go-to for me now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is my go-to curl product since I’ve transitioned to natural curly hair! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 5, 2025* I have 3a - 3b fine/medium hair. I first tried out this product about a year and a half ago. I was transitioning into wearing my hair naturally curly after years of straightening so in the beginning my hair would take hours to style just to get it to look decent. So if a product didn’t give good hold or didn’t make my curls for at least a few days it would be very frustrating. As soon as I tried this gel, I was in love. It has incredible hold, so you get definition and shine that lasts for days. Yes it can leave a cast on your hair when it first dries, but as soon as it’s 100% dry you can break the cast. You can do this by scrunching or picking it out. Or you can use a hair oil or hair serum (like two drops), rub it between your hands and then use your hands to scrunch your hair to break the cast. After that, the curls are shiny and soft without any sticky feeling or residue. It does not weigh your hair down too much, it smells fantastic, and a little goes a long way. So one tube lasts a long time for me. And I kid you not, it will continue to look great after 3-4 days, which I don’t usually go much longer than that without washing because I workout and sweat a lot.It’s funny, in the year and a half since I tried this product I would go and try something else just because I saw a product that looked interesting, and I think I’ve tried 10 other products at one time or another and some would work ok but almost always I wouldn’t get the same results. So now I call this gel “Ol’ Reliable” because the results are consistent every single time I use it. And I get compliments on my hair all the time. People will ask me what I use and this is what I recommend. Everyone’s hair is different but if you have similar curls like mine and your hair tends to get frizzy easily because it’s on the finer side, definitely try it out! ## Frequently Bought Together - Curlsmith - In-Shower Style Fixer - Vegan Extreme Hold Styling Gel for Dry, Wavy, Curly or Coily Hair (8oz) - CURLSMITH - Weightless Air Dry Cream - Vegan Leave-In Conditioner for Any Hair Type, Smooths Hair - CURLSMITH - Hold Me Softly Style Balm - Vegan Soft Hold Styling Cream for Wavy and Curly Hair, Natural Look --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/246906281-curlsmith-in-shower-style-fixer-strong-hold-gel-for-curls](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/246906281-curlsmith-in-shower-style-fixer-strong-hold-gel-for-curls) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
