Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Scrunching Gel, 2-Pack 6 oz — Medium Hold, Non-Crunch Curl Definition

This two-pack of 6 oz tubes is formulated for people who want clear curl definition without the stiff, crunchy finish. The gel layers into damp hair to enhance natural waves and curls, control frizz, and lock in shape while leaving hair soft to the touch. A bright berry scent adds a fresh, pleasant aroma during styling and wear. Its mid-level hold balances control and movement so curls remain springy whether air-dried or diffused.

How does this gel shape natural curls without making them stiff?

The formula sets around each strand to support curl formation while remaining pliable, so curls keep their bounce instead of becoming rigid. It avoids heavy buildup and rinses clean, helping maintain softness and movement from roots to ends.

• Hold Level 3: moderate control that secures curl pattern.
• Lightweight texture: layers easily without weighing hair down.
• Non-crunch finish: allows touchable, flexible curls.
• Rinse-friendly: removes without residue for repeat styling.

What’s the best way to use this gel for scrunching or diffusing?

Apply to cleansed, towel-dried hair in sections, scrunching upward to encourage curl clumps. For a softer look, gently scrunch out cast once hair is fully dry; for more defined results, use a diffuser on low heat and speed.

• Work into damp hair evenly from mid-lengths to ends.
• Use fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute product.
• Scrunch and air-dry or diffuser-dry on low for volume and definition.
• Break the gel cast after drying for softer, more natural texture.

Will this gel help with frizz and flyaways in humid or dry conditions?

The gel helps smooth the hair surface and bind flyaways to the main curl body, improving overall uniformity and reducing the look of frizz. While no styling product can fully prevent humidity-driven changes, this formula minimizes disruption to the curl pattern and extends a polished appearance between washes.

• Frizz control: tames stray hairs for neater curl definition.
• Humidity resilience: moderate protection that supports shape retention.
• Compatible with leave-in conditioners and oils for extra smoothing.
• Berry-scented: pleasant fragrance masks environmental odors.

How much product should I use for my curl type?

Amounts vary by curl density and length: start small and add more where needed. Fine or looser waves generally require a pea- to nickel-sized amount per section, while thicker or tighter curls often need a quarter-sized portion or more to fully coat strands.

• Fine/wavy hair: use sparingly to avoid weighing down waves.
• Medium curls: a moderate amount gives balanced hold and softness.
• Thick/tight curls: apply more product in sections for full coverage.
• Layer with moisturizing leave-in for extra hydration if necessary.

Who this is for: This two-pack suits anyone with wavy to curly hair seeking defined, touchable curls without a crunchy finish—travelers who appreciate the 6 oz tubes, people who style daily, and those who prefer a berry-scented grooming experience. It works well for curl-lovers who scrunch, diffuse, or air-dry and for those wanting a mid-level hold that balances control and flexibility.
