CURLY HAIR STYLE
SHAPING GEL

YOUR HAIR’S STARTING POINT: CURLY
Curly hair’s complex shape and growth pattern make it unique and prone to frizz. This makes it difficult to define and boost your curls.

PANTENE PRO-V INNOVATION:
Fast-acting polymers provide moldable hold to support and boost curls while you create definition. Micro-smoothers tame frizz and fly-aways leaving your curls touchably soft and bouncy.

HOW YOU GET THERE:
Start by dispensing gel and spreading in palms, work through hair from roots to tips. Scrunch and twist your curls for relaxed definition when air-drying. To be style savvy: Use a diffuser to shape curls when blow-drying.

very good By sweetangelpieforever, Pennsylvania February 1, 2011

i love this stuff. it gives me volume and helps my curls at once. i dont get why other people are saying it makes your hair frizz really bad. it only makes the top part of my hair just a little frizzy. they must be using too much of it. the more you use this on your hair at once it will be harder to comb through and thats what makes it feel sticky and greasy for them.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT By Gabriel's Mom, Crown Point, In January 20, 2011

This product is amazing. It keeps my curls defined and I love it. Always blow dry with a diffuser on a low heat setting. If I was only allowed to take one hair product with me on a deserted island, and for some reason I needed my hair to look good. lol This gel would be it!

Great product! By Curly Cupcake, Auburn, California January 9, 2011

I seem to be one of the few who actually like this gel! It was recommended to me by a co-worker who has curlier hair than mine so I thought I would try it and I'm so glad I did. I have really thick, long 2c/3a hair and it's hard to find products I like. I get frizz control (super great!) and my curls look awesome. I'll use this again for sure.

Pantene Curl Gel By Lisa, Duluth, MN September 18, 2011

I just bought this last week. I have used it in my hair, and I have to say that it really defines my curls. I am so impressed with this product that I plan to purchase some of the other curl products in the Pantene line. I can't wait!!!

I am so disappointed in this product. What happened to the smooth serum. I want the old formula back. You have lost a loyal customer.

Disaster in a bottle By Sad Curls, SLC February 28, 2013

Pantene used to make a hair gel that I loved, this is not the same. I used this for the first time yesterday and my hair feels like I rinsed it in acetone. It was crunchy, dry and unmanageable. I've got a deep conditioning treatment on it right now and I'm hoping it can repair some of the damage. If I still had the receipt I'd send it back.

If there was a number less than 1... By Saun, DeSoto October 24, 2011

This is by far one of the worst products I have used from Pantene. I just recently cut my hair and wanted to try the curly product line because my hair is naturally curly. Very disappointed. It does nothing for curls. As a matter of fact, it left my curls more frizzy than they would look without using any product. If you already have curly hair this product is not for you. Very disappointed

Re: If there was a number less than 1... By Macayla P. Consumer Care I'm so sorry for your disappointment! I'd love to hear more about how you used the product - will you find me on Pantene's Facebook page? Also, I think you will love our Curl Spray Gel instead - it's rated 4.5 stars on Pantene.com!

Frizz Ball By Fuzzy Bear, Tempe October 27, 2010

If you're looking for Volume, this product is for you. I have thick, curly hair and this product made it even BIGGER and FRIZZIER - not exactly what was expecting. I wanted defined curls like the old gel used to give me. I tried this to replace the old spray formula...I miss it...bring it back!

Re: Frizz Ball By Shawnna M. Consumer Care Sorry to hear the Pantene Curly Hair Extra Stong Hold Gel made your hair bigger and frizzier. We wouldn't expect these results, but I'm sharing your comments with our Pantene Team. In the the meantime, you may want to try our Pantene Curl Enhancing Spray Gel. Hope this helps!

Aweful Frizzy Wreck Results By Waves of Hair, Texas September 1, 2010

I've been a devoted Pantene consumer for years, and this is the most aweful Pantene product my hair has ever come into contact with. I have naturally wavey thick hair. I was hoping this product would (1) Most importantly: Control Frizz (2) Help texture wave and curl my hair. Result? Increased more frizz than if I had put nothing in my hair. After using this, I had never seen my hair more frizzy. Plus, it did not texture my hair into waves or curls... just a big frizz-fo ball. I will never use this product again and definitely considering switching to another brand.

HORRIBLE By curly July 9, 2010

Why did you change it!! The new pantene curly gel leaves my hair a frizzy mess! Go back to the old formula, so much better. As of now you just lost a loyal customer.

You messed up a good thing Pantene!! By curly July 9, 2010

I loved the old curly gel but this stuff is nothing but. It leaves my hair very frizzy and icky! Why do you guys change the formula???? Have also asked some friends and they too said they hate the new stuff and planning on not buying Pantene anymore. You have just lost some very loyal customers and will probably lose millions more until you go back to the old and stick to it!!!!!!

The Brains Behind the Beauty



Pantene understands that each curly hair fiber grows in a unique pattern, twisting and turning in all directions. This unpredictable pattern makes styling difficult. The curved fibers of curly hair intersect with each other more often than any other hair type, causing friction, which can result in out-of-control curls. Pantene’s customized styling gel tames frizz and fly-aways, resulting in soft, healthy curls. Advanced, fast-acting polymers help provide moldable support for curly hair’s structure, allowing you to add definition and shape to your style.
