All About Curls makes three stylers for wet-hair curl definition, and each one answers a different question: how much hold do you need, and do you want volume or control? All three are colour-safe and free of SLS/SLES sulfates, silicones and parabens, and both gels are alcohol-free.
Soft Definition Gel: light control without the crunch
A soft-hold gel that locks in moisture and boosts shine, leaving curls defined yet flexible and touchable. It is the one to reach for when you want movement, when strong gels weigh your waves down, or when you want a softer finish on tighter curls. Shop Soft Definition Gel.
High Definition Gel: all the control without the crunch
The strong-hold version. It locks in moisture and boosts shine too, but leaves curls firmly defined without the frizz, so it is the better choice for humid days, for curls that drop by the afternoon, and for anyone who wants maximum definition. Shop High Definition Gel.
Boosting Foam: volume and bounce
A lightweight pump foam that adds moisture and a soft hold while giving curls extra fullness and body. Choose it if your curls look flat at the roots or get weighed down by heavier stylers. For an extra boost, scrunch, hold and release. Shop Boosting Foam.
How to apply for the best results
- Start on clean, conditioned, wet hair — stylers set best when curls are soaking.
- Work the product through with your palms, scrunching upward.
- Squeeze out excess water, then air dry or diffuse without touching.
- Once completely dry, shake the roots and lightly scrunch to soften any cast.
Can I layer them?
Yes. A common combination is Boosting Foam at the roots for lift with a gel through the lengths for definition. Use Soft Definition Gel for a softer finish or High Definition Gel when you need it to last.

FAQ
Will the gels leave my curls crunchy?
They form a light cast as they dry, which holds the curl pattern. Once hair is fully dry, scrunch gently with your hands and the cast breaks, leaving soft curls.
Do I need a conditioner first?
Yes. Style over curls conditioned with the Daily Cream Conditioner; see our cleanser and conditioner guide.
