Review: No substitute! - The salon where I get my curly hair cut uses Davines products and while I have always loved how my hair smells and is styled there, I never wanted to shell out for a higher-end product at home. I went through several drugstore gels: Garnier curl sculpting cream weighed my hair down, Curls botanical gel didn't have nearly enough hold, etc. I finally bought the Davines cream gel (sold for less than retail on desertcart, at least) and oh my goodness, what a difference. - I don't have to use nearly as much as I did with other gels--I scrunch mousse and gel into my hair when still sopping wet, so I use more gel at a time than some (since it gets diluted and some drips out during scrunching), but I only need about a quarter-size dollop of Davines for my thick, shoulder-length curls. - It holds super well. It really helps my curls keep their shape and not get fuzzy, as my hair is prone to do. - For those saying it's too sticky and crunchy: It really helps to have your hair very wet when you apply it, because I could see how the stickiness might be difficult to work with otherwise. As for crunchiness, once it's dry, I just scrunch it again and this helps to take away the stiffness, but magically the style still holds. - It also helps my hair dry much faster (air dry or diffuser)! Since I only wash my hair every 2-3 days, one bottle actually lasts me quite a long time, so it's completely worth it. In between washes, I use Davines This Is a Sea Salt Spray to refresh and rescrunch. (You could probably use any salt spray or maybe leave-in conditioner, possibly even water--but the Davines spray smells AMAZING.) Review: Quality Gel - I totally recommend this product (at least for trying). The gel (i'dnt call it a cream) has a nice smell and it holds my medium length type 2a hair very good. ## Features - Strong hold - Smoothness of a cream and effectiveness of a gel - No residue ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00GB8T5P6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,319 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #541 in Hair Styling Gels | | Brand Name | Davines | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 486 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08004608237471 | | Hair Type | Dry | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Volume | 125 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.33 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 125 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Davines | | Material Type Free | Animal derived product free | | Product Benefits | Cream-like gel is easy to work with, offering a lightweight but strong hold. | | Scent | Unscented | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Unit Count | 4.22 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Hair Type:** Dry - **Liquid Volume:** 125 Milliliters - **Material Type Free:** Animal derived product free - **Product Benefits:** Cream-like gel is easy to work with, offering a lightweight but strong hold. - **Scent:** Unscented ## Images ![Davines This Is A Strong Hold Cream Gel, Strong Hold Definition & Structure - Cream-Gel Hybrid for Wet Looks - Quick Drying & Residue Free, 4.23 Fl Oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61khcgTso-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where are Davines products made?** A: All Davines products are designed, formulated and manufactured at our headquarters and laboratories in Parma, Italy. **Q: Is Davines packaging carbon neutral?** A: Since 2018, Davines has been carbon neutral on the production of packaging across all product lines. **Q: Does Davines use renewable energy?** A: At our carbon neutral Davines Village in Parma, Italy, where we manufacture our products, we exclusively power the factory and office using electrical and thermal energy derived from renewable sources. **Q: Is Davines a B Corporation?** A: The Davines Group has been a B Corporation since 2016. **Q: Are Davines products natural?** A: Davines products are formulated with ingredients of natural origin, but they are mixed with synthetic ingredients, to ensure safety and performance. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No substitute! *by C***. on December 15, 2015* The salon where I get my curly hair cut uses Davines products and while I have always loved how my hair smells and is styled there, I never wanted to shell out for a higher-end product at home.

The gel (i'dnt call it a cream) has a nice smell and it holds my medium length type 2a hair very good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performs better than advertised and goes a long way! *by A***R on October 12, 2025* This hold cream is stellar for quick drying (and I am ALWAYS in a hurry), but most important, I don't need to use it every day! It is super value for money since I only need to use about once a week. Bonus: I love the scent! ## Frequently Bought Together - Davines This is a Strong Hold Cream Gel, Create Structure And Definition, For Quick-Drying And Residue-Free Workable Styling, 4.22 Fl.
