Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly Starter Kit — Travel Size shampoo, conditioner & silicone-free curl jelly for frizz control

Everything you need to start shaping defined, frizz-controlled curls on the go: a travel-size curl scrunching jelly plus matching shampoo and conditioner from Umberto Giannini.

This compact kit brings together a lightweight, de-frizz shampoo and conditioner with the brand’s signature Curl Scrunching Jelly so you can wash, condition and set waves or curls without heavy residue. Each product is formulated to detangle, add bounce and lock in definition while keeping a silicone-free, vegan profile. It’s designed for travel, trial, or anyone wanting a simple three-step curl routine that’s kind to textured hair.

How does this kit control frizz without weighing curls down?

The shampoo and conditioner pair use conditioning agents that coat each strand lightly, smoothing the hair surface to reduce frizz while retaining natural movement. The curl jelly adds medium hold and definition without silicones, so curls look shaped rather than stiff. Together they hydrate and help strands align for a polished look.

• Frizz-control shampoo softens and detangles wet hair.
• Weightless conditioning builds bounce and shine.
• Silicone-free gel gives medium hold and touchable texture.
• Formulas rinse clean to avoid sticky or crunchy residue.

Will this kit work for my curl type—waves, curls or coils?

The collection is formulated to suit a wide range of natural textures, from loose waves to tighter coils. The gentle wash and detangling conditioner prepare hair for styling while the curl jelly adapts to different densities and porosities, offering definition without excessive crunch. Results vary by hair porosity and styling method, but the kit is versatile for multi-textured households.

• Suitable for wavy, curly and coily hair textures.
• Conditioner aids slip for easier detangling of thicker strands.
• Medium-hold gel supports both definition and soft touch.
• Compact sizes make it easy to test what works for your curl pattern.

How should I use each product in the three-step routine?

Start with the frizz-control shampoo to cleanse and remove buildup, then apply the conditioner to distribute moisture and detangle from root to tip. On damp hair, work a small amount of the Curl Scrunching Jelly through sections and scrunch upward to encourage curl formation; air-dry or diffuse on low heat. These steps create a simple, repeatable routine for consistent results.

• Step 1: Shampoo to cleanse and smooth the hair surface.
• Step 2: Apply conditioner, finger-comb for even distribution.
• Step 3: Apply jelly to damp hair, scrunch and set to dry.
• Optional: diffuse for extra volume or air-dry for softer definition.

Is this kit cruelty-free and suitable for Curly Girl methods?

Yes—the products are vegan and not tested on animals, and the jelly is formulated without silicones, which aligns with many Curly Girl principles. The shampoo and conditioner are free of parabens and are intended to be gentle on natural textures. Always check individual ingredient tolerances if you follow a strict regimen.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulations.
• Silicone-free styling jelly suitable for many Curly Girl routines.
• Paraben-free and designed for textured hair care.
• Test a small amount if you have specific sensitivities.

It’s especially useful for people who prefer vegan, silicone-free styling and want defined, touchable curls without heavy buildup.
