How to Use Strong Hold Hair Gel for Different Styles
Gel is a companion product, made to enhance and add additonal hold and shine to stylers that provide definition and moisture. Applying Rizos Curls Strong Hold Gel will help to lock in the definition created with your Rizos Curls Styler of choice (Curl Defining Cream, Curl Defining Mousse, Curl Custard) and keep your curl intact and frizz at bay.
For Defined Curls, Coils & Waves
• Follow your regular Rizos Routine. Apply your favorite Rizos Curls Stylers to freshly washed & moisturized hair.
• As a finishing touch, use the "prayer hands" method to glaze a layer of Strong Hold Gel over the length of your hair. Gently Scrunch to encourage definition & distribute evenly.
• Let it air dry or diffuse for extra volume—then scrunch out the cast with Hairscription Oil of your choice for softer, defined curls! Let cast linger for extra frizz protection and max long lasting hold.
For Sleek & Snatched Looks (Buns, Ponytails, and Updos)
• Apply a small amount to dry or slightly damp hair.
• Use a boar bristle brush to smooth everything in place.
• Need more hold? Add a few sprays of Rizos Curls Alcohol-free Hairspray!
What to Look for in a Strong Hold Gel
No Flaking or White Residue –Rizos Curls Strong Hold gel is flake free! No residue or tacky texture. Quick dry down.
Alcohol-Free & Moisturizing
Ingredients – Lactic Acid & Sugar Cane Extract balance this strong hold formula as these ingredients work well together to draw and retain moisture to prevent the dryness that comes with traditional products that offer medium to strong hold. Rizos Curls is always alcohol-free.
Humidity & Frizz Resistance – A gel that holds up against sweat and humidity is a must! You also need that layer of hold to help make it through your nighttime curl protection routine and be able to refresh easily with minimal effort to stretch those days between wash days.
Generous Hold – Strong but not helmet-hard, so hair still has bounce & movement with max volume potential. This formula will be a favorite for #Team Cast + Crunch as it gives a significant cast for that extra dose of control for frizz fighting & long lasting wear. Cast gives substantial hold but is not super stiff, and can be easily released with Hairscription Oil of your choice! Once hair is completely dry, add 3-5 drops to your hands, rubbing them together to emulsify the oil and then use "prayer hands" technique to run through length of hair to gently break the cast without encouraging frizz. Scrunch out the crunch using minimal passes to keep from losing your definition and hold.
