- 1. Preparation: Start with clean, damp hair. For best results, use after amika Curl Corps Defining Cream.
- 2. Apply: Work a coin-sized amount between your palms and distribute evenly through the hair from roots to ends.
- 3. Technique: Scrunch upward to encourage curl formation and grouping.
- 4. Dry: Allow hair to air-dry for a soft finish, or use a diffuser on low heat to set the curl and add volume.
- 5. Pro Tip: Once the hair is 100% dry, if you feel any slight "cast" from the gel, simply scrunch your curls with a drop of amika Glass Action or Water Sign Oil to break the seal and reveal ultra-soft, bouncy texture.
How is this different from the Curl Corps Defining Cream?
The cream is designed for moisture and soft definition, while the gel is designed for hold and frizz control. For the best results, we recommend layering them—apply the cream first for hydration, then follow with the gel to "lock" your curls in place.
Will this gel make my hair feel hard or "crunchy"?
No. Unlike traditional drugstore gels, Curl Corps uses Tapioca Starch to provide a flexible hold. If you do experience a slight firm feeling once dry, simply scrunch your curls to "break the cast" and reveal soft, touchable hair.
Can I use this on fine hair?
Absolutely! This gel is formulated to be lightweight. It provides excellent definition for fine waves and curls without weighing them down or making them look greasy.
