Troubleshooting

Curls appear undefined after application.

Ensure hair is wet before application and use a sufficient amount of gel. Also, make sure you are distributing the gel evenly throughout your hair.

Hair feels stiff or crunchy.

Use less product or apply it to wetter hair. This can also be a sign of product buildup, in which case a clarifying shampoo may be needed.

Product is not elongating curls effectively.

Try using the product with a leave-in conditioner or other moisturizing products to increase the stretch. Ensure hair is properly detangled before application.
