PVP jelly delivers touchable definition and medium hold; weighs down finer waves.

What the community says

A PVP-based styling jelly with panthenol, green tea, and sodium hyaluronate, aimed at flexible definition rather than a rigid finish. It suits fine 2B/2C waves wanting medium hold, though heavier waves may lose movement and some users report extra frizz.
