What makes this product different?
Clever Curl Long Hold Curl Gel is designed around longevity rather than creating a firm cast. Unlike Clever Curl Dry Weather Gel, which uses humectant properties for dehydrated curls, or Humid Weather Gel, which is specifically anti-humectant, the Long Hold Gel is neither a humectant nor anti-humectant formula. Its distinctive sealing properties instead help curls resist expansion and loss of shape over time.
This makes it a strong choice when your priority is longer lasting curl definition with flexible strength. Clever Curl's published customer feedback particularly highlights defined, soft and hydrated looking curls and definition that lasts for days.
Does this suit me?
It’s best for:
- Wavy, curly and coily hair
- Curls that lose their definition between wash days
- Customers wanting longer lasting hold without a strong cast
- Curls exposed to humidity that tend to expand or lose shape
- Hair needing definition while retaining flexible movement
- Customers looking for a vegan and Curly Girl Method friendly styling gel
Frequently asked questions
Does Clever Curl Long Hold Curl Gel create a hard cast?
It is specifically designed to provide long lasting hold without forming a strong cast. This makes it particularly useful when you want extended definition with a more flexible curl feel.
How is Long Hold Curl Gel different from Clever Curl Dry Weather and Humid Weather gels?
The Dry Weather Gel is a humectant formula designed to attract moisture to dehydrated curls, while the Humid Weather Gel is anti-humectant and forms a firm cast. Long Hold Gel is neither. It focuses on sealing and extended curl longevity without a strong cast.
Is it suitable for all curl types?
Yes. Clever Curl positions it for all curl types, from waves through to coils, particularly when maintaining shape and definition for longer is the styling goal.
Professional tip: How should I apply it for longer lasting definition?
Apply after your leave in routine, distribute evenly using praying hands or raking, then gently scrunch upwards to accentuate your curl pattern. Air dry or diffuse on low heat while minimising unnecessary handling.
Formula disclosure: Is Clever Curl Long Hold Curl Gel an anti-humectant gel?
No. Clever Curl states that the Long Hold Gel is neither humectant nor anti-humectant. Its humidity support comes from its long lasting sealing properties rather than specific anti-humectant ingredients. Choose it primarily for flexible hold and extended style longevity rather than as a direct substitute for Clever Curl's climate specific gels.
