Aussie Instant Freeze Sculpting Gel 7 oz. Maximum Hold (Pack of 3)

Product Information

I work on a college campus and take public transit, so between the scratchy seats, the Humid mornings and hot+humid evenings, and walking across campus in the outside or waiting for my bus, I'm a frizz ball by the end of the day. I have noticed my hair getting less and less frizzy as I continue my wet plopping after my daily shower (see where I live, my scalp is itchy by the end of the day due to the sweat and oil from the heat). So I tried to use my Ion Keratin Dry Oil Mist on my hair during wet plop (Leave In Conditioner, Shea Butter H&C Curl Smoothie, Miss Jessie's Jelly Curls, the Ion Keratin Dry Oil Mist, all squished to condish), but my hair is a bit more flat than what I am used to, so obviously going the oil route will weigh down my hair According to Curly Girl: The Handbook, curly girls should avoid alcohols, silicone, paragons, and phthalates in gel. Some alcohols will cause hair to dry out and become frizzy. This gel does contain benzyl alcohol in a fairly large amount. However, it’s a non-volatile alcohol that acts as a preservative. According to Naturally Curly, “It should not impact the texture or feel of your hair.” However, if you like a softer “beach waves” look, I would recommend a lighter hold gel such as the Zotos Biotera Gel. Or you could even try a mousse, like the Pantene Pro-V Curl Mousse. Does the Aussie Instant Freeze gel tame frizz?

Takeaway: If you have frizzy hair, this gel won’t fix the frizz. You need to moisturize your hair to banish frizz. As Lorraine Massey says, “Frizz is a curl waiting to happen.” Will this gel weigh my hair down? Any tips from people? I've heard good results about Aussie Instant Freeze, but I need to know if that'll hold up to Texas Coast Humidity and Heat. Also, should I be using an anti frizz serum instead? After your curls are completely dry, scrunch out the crunch with your hands. Voila- you have soft, defined, touchable curls! Let’s Chat: Although I haven’t tried it with every curl type, I think it would work well for almost any curly girl! These curly girls—who all have different curl types—love it!

Product overview

Say g’day to Aussie! A is for Aussie. Which is short for Australia, the birthplace of our brand and the inspiration behind everything we do. Land of sea, surf, sun and adventure. Also, the driest continent on Earth and home to some of the most diverse, and naturally potent botanicals that miraculously thrive despite the harsh environments. We’ve bottled these beauties together with our unique conditioning blend since 1979. We provide a collection of moisturising miracles for diverse hair types and promise to save the wildest & driest hair (and the Aussie wildlife too). Grab your Aussie now! With your head still upside down, squirt a gumball-sized amount of gel into your hand. Coat both palms with it. Gently graze your palms over a small section of hair. Then, squish the gel upward into your curls. Your hair should make a little squelch! sound and release any excess product. (I do this over a bath towel or sink.) Continue adding gel, one section at a time. For my 2c low porosity hair, I actually found that the Aussie Instant Freeze Gelmade my hair bouncy and voluminous. Although it’s a hard hold gel, it doesn’t have heavy moisturizers that could weigh your hair down. My hair tends to look bouncy and full when I use this gel. What hair types does the Aussie Instant Freeze gel work best with? Aussie Instant Freeze Gel also contains aminomethyl propanol, a short-chain alcohol which can cause your hair to feel dry and frizzy. However, this gel may still work well for your hair. It depends on the person. I live in Gulf Coast Texas. I love my Miss Jessie's Jelly Curls, but it's not holding up to the Humidity here.

Because it’s a drugstore gel, it’s not a huge investment like some gels are. If you’re on the fence, just go for it!The Aussie Instant Freeze gel provides a very strong hold which can last for several days between washes. I found it to be much stronger than the Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel.
