Reviews

Moisture is Amazing

"This gel left my hair moisturized and soft. Love the hold."

— Betty M. (5/5)

STILL EXPERIMENTING

"Started using TRES FX back in 1996 which was GREAT!! Used it for years then stopped like 10 years ago due to the change in the product. Bummer. So I'm still experimenting with this gel. And the bottle was only half full cuz the lid wasn't on completely so most of it was in the box. Gotta get better people to handle and ship your products."

— Christina C. (3/5)

"Great gel brand. Not sticky or a hard crunchy hold!"

— Stephanie (5/5)

This is a repeat purchase

"This is a repeat purchase for me. I use it, along with the climate control hair gel on wash days. This gel helps with definition and hydration."

— Danielle S. (5/5)

"I have loved Ouidad products for 3 decades now!!!"

Q&A

How is Curl Quencher applied? How much do I use? My granddaughter recommended it and I bought it, but I don't think I'm using it correctly.
Divide damp hair into sections. Rake a nickel-size amount of gel through each section. When finished, hold the ends of hair in each section and shake to create curls.
