Reviews

"I honestly didn’t like the gel at first but the more I used it, the better it got. I realized that hair needs a very moisturizing and a slightly heavy leave in for high porosity hair. Wanted a stronger hold but it’s a nice gel that delivers more of a medium hold that allows movement."

— Whitney (4/5)

Unbelievable!

"This product is a game changer for curly hair! Advanced Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Gel - Stronger Hold keeps my curls beautifully defined, full, and frizz-free, even in the notoriously humid Northeast. A friend recommended it, and I couldn’t be more grateful. After using it consistently all summer, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my hair’s texture and overall appearance. My curls hold their shape without feeling stiff, and my hair looks fuller and healthier than ever. I highly recommend this product to anyone struggling with humidity and frizz. It has become an essential part of my hair care routine!"

— Amy B. (5/5)

"This gel is awesome! It’s the best gel I’ve ever tried as a low porosity haired girl. It has a super strong hold by hold and will week your curls looking shiny and kept all day long."

— Albis (5/5)

"This product has a super strong hold. I actually like to mix this one and the other climate control gel. I get the perfect amount of hold and shine that way"

— Tanja (5/5)

"I am so happy to have full sized versions of samples I picked up at Ulta a few months ago, plus some new products i wanted to try! Can't wait!"

— Lauren (5/5)

"Its great for all hair types. My naturally curly hair can get frizzy, needs texture and volume as my hair is thinning. This product allows me to have not much frizz after styling, washing—even 3 to 4 days later! For best results, I wash my hair every Tuesday and Saturday night and let my hair air dry overnight while I sleep."

— Sarah (5/5)

How can the heat and humidity gel fight humidity with glycerin as the 2nd ingredient?? Glycerin is a powerful humectant that pulls moisture into the hair - exactly what I don't want in high humidity!!
Our ACC Gel is one of our best selling products for over 10+ years because it delivers real results! The glycerin in this product draws in moisture – as moisture is at the core of healthy curls! The sercicin (protein from silk) in this formula gently coats the cuticle, without causing buildup, and seals in moisture – resulting in frizz free curls!
