Reviews

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)

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.
