Details + Benefits
This aloe-based gel is made to combat frizz by keeping atmospheric moisture out of your strands. It has flexible hold to allow your curls to move and nourishes with a beautiful blend of botanicals and oils.
Benefits:
- defines curls and coils
- prevents moisture loss
- creates frizz-free volume
- strengthens and protects
- adds shine
- provides medium, flexible hold
- smooth, flake-free finish
Scent: lemongrass + eucalyptus + warm vanilla
How To Use + Pro-Tips
Instructions: After cleansing and conditioning, apply directly to hair or after Curl Primer. Evenly distribute small amount through wet hair in sections and clump curls. Air dry, diffuse or sit under dryer.
Pro-Tips: Apply gel half an inch from your scalp. Use a detangling comb/brush or fingers to evenly distribute and clump curls in small sections. The neater your set it, the better the definition will be. Always start with a small amount and add where needed; gel is not a product to heavy hand!
You can seamlessly layer this gel with the Curl Primer and Styling Potion but if you have tight texture/curls, try using this gel alone or just with the Curl Primer to get the maximum benefit of the flexible hold and flake-free finish. Also, setting under a hooded dryer will improve your results dramatically!

I love that this gel is lightweight and doesn't leave my hair crunchy/crispy. It gives good definition. I do wish it had a longer/better hold. My curls around my face get very frizzy and undefined after day 1, and my hair gets very voluminous. I prefer my curls a bit less floofy. Still a great product and I'll continue using it and the rest of the line to keep my curls healthy and happy.
I love this products My curls has more shine and they are looser.
Gel is not something I’m used to using but this product made it easy. It has great hold but does not make my hair hard. I’m able to use it on wash day and my wash and go lasts the week.
I love MoKnowsHair products and, this Gel, is just lovely. I use it after the Primer and have enjoyed the outcome and look of my twists.
Gorgeous curls!
Love this gel! This will be the only gel I use for now on! OMG this gel works wonders in my hair! I only need this gel and the primer for my wash and go!
I love the defining gel so far. I got amazing results with the first use. My hair feels very soft and defined. There was no white residue left behind which I appreciate! I'm on day 2 of my style and my hair is still looking good.
I appreciate the tutorial videos. I find them helpful!
The first time around I think my hair had to get accustomed to it or didn’t like the blow dryer; but after the second wash day and a little modification….
This is the best defining gel I have ever used! It holds, moisturizes, and keeps my hair looking good all day! My hair never flakes and it doesn’t get hard. It doesn’t even seem like a gel just an extra styling product. Love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This gel is light but defined my curls well. I paired it with the styling potion. Because of the humidity where I live I had to refresh after 3 days. I did not experience any flaking.
I like that this gel formula is thinner the slip on all of the wash n go bundle products is really really good. I made the mistake and did not use enough water and kept applying product which caused bad flaking. After watching a video of how to correctly apply the product to my hair by Mo. the second time around using this I used much less product and more water which help a ton! This product I will say for those purchasing is meant to define the curl individually and keep the hold do not clump your hair and try to break the cast of the hold once dry like most do with other gels, that will cause some very light flaking. That is why I put a 4 star. Just individually pull out each curl and define it while styling and leave it be once fully dry. The wash n go really does last longer and keeps great hold. Still a great product and I will continue using and mastering how I use it.
Loved the gel. Light enough for my fine hair. Beautiful results and the scent is addictive.
This works so well with defining curls
Make my twists so beautiful
Great product , smell nice but leave my hair a bit dry unpon application
Amazing!
I am a forever customer! These are the only styling products that have worked harmoniously with my granddaughter’s texture. Mo does Know Hair! Thank you for making 4C hair easy to style.
Left my curls defined. Love the look. Only issue, when i slept on it, it lost its bounce and was a bit frizzy. I don’t think my hair was dry in the scalp properly. I will try again on Friday on my wash day for the week and see.
Love the gel. A little goes a long way and it lasts me a good 4-5 days! And my hair isn’t hard and dry.
I have fine natural hair. I only used the gel once but I like it. A little goes a long way on my hair. My hair wasn’t left crunchy and had a nice hold until my next wash day.
I’m not typically a gel girly, I love setting my wash n go’s with foam, but I must say, this gel allowed my current wash n go to hold up with minimal freeze for over a week. I typically wash weekly but this gel gives me the option for a little more longevity in my styles, which I appreciate. Don’t love the smell, kinda smells like cinnamon.
I love the light non-sticky feeling of the gel as well as the perfect amount of firmness for the hold
This gel works great in my hair and doesn’t flake like others then to do.
Wonderful product. My hair is in love.
These products are amazing. I have never found hair products that have given me immediate results and improve every time I use them. I finally look forward to WASH DAY. MO REALLY KNOWS
Very light and defining... somewhat of a watery texture, which is how I prefer my gels. Not too heavy for my 4a fine hair.
It's a nice gel just not strong enough for my curls to give me multiple day hair. It only looked good on the first day and I had to puff it for 2 days before just washing again. Just be mindful it is a medium hold gel and if your curls need a little more armor this won't work great for a WnG.
