Orange Marmalade Curl Definer Gel - Long-lasting Hold for Wavy, Curly, Coily, and Kinky Hair - Curl Styling Gel for Women

Rarely if ever write a review. I have searched for 2 1/2 years for the best product for my thick, course, and wavy hair, and this is the best I've found. It gives great hold and definition without making my hair feel dry, as some products with great hold will do. I have trouble getting a cast, but this products does give me a cast. This products refreshes very nicely as well-better than anything else I've ever tried.

Love this product for my curls. Ive been able to reduce my routine to just this one product. Smells lovely, packaging is minimal, quantity last a long time.

My curls love the protein from the flaxseed, and the hold of the marshmallow root. I don’t really notice a smell, but I do notice how long I can go between wash days. Yes, this will make your hair crunchy when it dries, but I love a great crunch ;). After I scrunch out that crunch my hair is light and curly. To refresh, I mist with water, let it dry, and scrunch. This gel has cut my morning routine in half on refresh days, and I am now able to go 4-5 days between washes. Picture is day two hair.

I have fine, wavy, salt n pepper hair, this stuff works to give it body, 2 to 3 day hold with minimal frizz. I have found that I need to diffuse until half-dry to get that body and lift, but that’s ok with me. It says to keep in fridge. And it has a “best by” date on it. When I was two weeks past that date, my ears and scalp were itchy and red, before I realized I was past that date. And this second order arrived in a plastic envelope and was already warm because of the weather. I hope it does not go bad before the expiration date 😳. So my reason for not giving it five stars is the refrigeration and expiration date problem.

I am on my third order of this gel, great for the curly girls!

I rarely write reviews on Amazon, but I was very disappointed in this product. Sending it back for a refund after 2 uses. I saw an ad on Facebook for it and thought I’d give it a try, even though I’ve tried many hair-curl products which did not do give the great results as advertised 🙄. And…I already have 2 inexpensive products that I buy from Target which work great! (aka: I am easily influenced by social media ads when it comes to finding that perfect hair, curl product! 😅) So…. A 1 star review for the following: 1) Way overpriced at $26.00 2) Smells like….Elmer’s Glue 🤔... ? I had assumed it would at least have a pleasant orange scent, since it’s called “Orange Marmalade”. Nope. Glue. Memories of second grade kept popping into my head as I was using it. (not kidding! 😅) 3) My curls looked like they had that “crunchy”, gel look. Since it’s a cream I had hoped they would look soft and bouncy, like the ad showed. Nope. Just crunchy, glue-smelling curls. I did try it a second time to see if maybe I had done something wrong, like maybe I had applied too much..? Seems it did work a little better when using a diffuser to blow-dry as opposed to air-drying. Still didn’t look very good though and I was not impressed with this product by any means. Glad that they give a refund though even though the product is used. So many of these companies won’t do that and then you’re out $27. So, sending it back and getting a full refund, which I do appreciate! 👍🏻

Just not a strong enough hold for my natural gray, fine, 2A wavy hair. I tried it alone and with Lemon Drop, and neither way did I get a good hold. It seems to weigh my hair down and left my hair limp. I think it would be great for more curly or coily hair. The EcoSlay customer service on Instagram was awesome though. They tried to help in many ways. It just isn't the right product for my hair, so I am returning it.

I’ve feel like Ive bought every kind of curly product known to man, tried it all. Creams, mousses, gels, conditioners, bond treatments, etc etc etc. Now all I use is Ecoslay Rice Pudding Leave In and Orange Marmalade Gel. That’s it. It leaves my hair soft and shiny and bouncy. I’ve stopped the hemorrhaging of money on other stuff that doesn’t work or stuff I’d use 1/2 of and decide I didn’t like. Worth every $$.
