Humidity-resistant gel delivers soft curl definition without much crunch; frizz control is inconsistent.

A lightweight styling gel for scrunching into wet or damp curls, especially fine and low-porosity hair needing definition without a stiff cast. Humidity performance can be excellent, yet some users report sticky frizz or disappointing hold.
