I can’t believe the moisture! I actually have to be careful not to use too much. I am excited to try the reflex.
Meghan (verified owner) –
Love this gel! It has given me great hold and curl definition. And I need very little product. I cannot wait to try more treluxe products!
Lisa –
I am still trying to figure out how much to use. My hair is so dry that I keep over doing the conditioner – but it sure feels soft!
Savannah (verified owner) –
I’m a first time buyer and I’m absolutely obsessed already! After one use, I kid you not, my hair showed to be less frizzy and giving me more texture. I’m excited my hair is no longer untamable and stuck in a high bun.
Denise B (verified owner) –
As soon as I received it in the mail, I couldn’t wait to try it! I opened it right up and scooped up what was on the lid. I was already in love because of the scent, and when I applied it to my dry hair, it just slurped it right up! It took awhile to get shipped here, but this gel is definitely worth the wait! I started using the gentle cleanser and leave in conditioner several weeks ago, and my hair loves those products, too. I have only good things to say about this product line. (I’m a fine, low density, high porosity, type 2b-2c wavy).

I never write reviews for curly hair products because they are always a disappointment. I’m Sicilian and Italian, and my hair is wavy and kinky and will form dreads if I don’t stay on top of it with finger combing (I haven’t brushed it in years). Any products that helped me manage my curls left them crispy or greasy or required so much of the product that it got too expensive to maintain. So I was a skeptic about the TreLuxe gel. I really did not expect it to work, but the price point made it pretty low-risk.
So color me wrong on that one. I was STUNNED. Not only could I use half the amount of gel I had used before, but it left my locks in the right clumps at the right looseness with no frizz (although it did require a little freshening up the 3rd day). My hair is softer than it’s ever felt. It feels like real hair, like the kind of hair straight hair is, soft, silky, etc. I’m a believer!

This gel paired with the styling serum are the very best thing for styling my fine 3A-3B curls.
Kelly Gould (verified owner) –
The Defining Gel is a game-changer. Its not only given me great hair on day two and three, my hair seems to get better each day. HOLY GRAIL!
Chloe (verified owner) –
I love these products! They make my hair feel very soft and balanced. I have thick 2a-2c waves and these products provide great moisture, definition and hold.
Wendy F (verified owner) –
Love, love, love these products. Beyond making my hair behave better than it ever has before, they also smell AMAZING! Can’t beat it. Y’all have earned a customer for life 🙂
Cheryl (verified owner) –
Just got the Untie The knot, Reflex and HiDef gel. Love the slip! Love the smell and definition is great!
Teena (verified owner) –
Love my Treluxe products! Provides the needed moisture for my curls to be soft and bouncy. My hair does not get a cast, my curls are defined and last all day.
Amanda (verified owner) –
At this point I have every single treluxe product and they’re all amazing! As a wavy finding a gel that is lightweight and actually has good hold is essential, and this is one of my absolute favorites. The only thing more I could wish for is a treluxe deep conditioner.
kierra towner (verified owner) –
so so so in love with the styling gel! the slip blew me away, definitely gonna have to repurchase soon because i will be using this each time i wash my hair! so in love; definitely my new go to!!
Christina Camonayan (verified owner) –
I originally wasn’t sure that it would be worth the price, but sure was I wrong! It was so worth it. I pair it with the Curl Renew and Untie the Knot and it does wonders for my hair. It is so moisturizing and gives my 2B/2C hair so much definition. I will say that I do need to add a gel on top to maintain my waves/curls, otherwise they will fall by the end of the day. I have even tried using this as a day 2 refresh with some water and my waves/curves bounce back so well.
Aubrey Muzio (verified owner) –
This gel offers a surprising amount of hold for how soft it leaves my hair. The most natural finish I’ve had from a gel. Love it!
Jessica (verified owner) –
I love the smell of this. A lot of gels tend to be chemical smelling and I don’t want to touch them with a 10 foot pole. The hold is average for me (I have waist length, thick, high density 2b-3a hair). I’d definitely repurchase.
Brianne (verified owner) –
Great texture, last all day and best of all makes the curls / waves look natural af
Christina (verified owner) –
Absolutely love the products! I saw an ad on Instagram and had to check it out. Next time I need to buy the untie the knot. Curl Renew & Restore and Hi! Definition are the two products I have.
Christy Ward (verified owner) –
I have been on my curly girl journey for nearly 2 years and with this I have tried a large amount of products to find the right fit with my hair type. I have been so incredibly happy to find the TreLuxe products. They manage my frizzy curly hair in a way that creates defined curls with a natural look. I couldn’t be more happy and am excited to be able to better determine how my hair will look each day, all day!!!
Vivian (verified owner) –
I had read so many great things about these products so I was anxious to try them. I bought all of them and they have not disappointed! My hair doesn’t usually like too much protein but these products work great in my hair. I have used different combinations and they have all worked. The curl cream + the reflux serum gave me a light hold with lots of bounce. The leave in + gel gave me a medium hold with lots of shine.
Aimee Fonzo (verified owner) –
Love the smell! Gave me great definition and hold.
brenda.crespo (verified owner) –
Since the first day I used these products, my hair turned so nice!! My curls have life and bounce!! My hair looks so healthy and shiny!!
Jen (verified owner) –
Both my daughter and I do the Curly Girl Method and we have been through SEVERAL products until we found the Hi’Definition styling gel – we both LOVE IT! Perfect on Wet hair or on damp hair to give it that extra boost.
Pam (verified owner) –
I am 9 months into my curly/wavy journey and this is the first gel that does not leave my hair with a product-y feeling. It is so light and gives my waves great definition. I don’t have to wet refresh, I just apply a little bit of the serum and my hair looks great. My waves do get a bit looser every day, but I’ll take that over the awful feeling of harder hold gels. I can easily go 4 days between washes and my hair still looks good. Bonus … not a bit of frizz, even with Florida humidity! Thank you Treluxe for fabulous products 🙂
Angela (verified owner) –
I took a star off because I need a firmer hold, but I love it overall. I have meduim density 3a- c hair, and I need a more hold to keep defintion on the canopy. I have been hesitant to mix it with firmer gels because it smells great and refreshes well, but I will try. If I use too much, to try for more hold, it will flake. I hope they make something to boost it. I also love the shampoo, conditoner and the serum!
Susan (verified owner) –
I love these products! My hair is silky and my curls have great hold. The scents are delicious!
Janine Moberg (verified owner) –
I have been using your products for just over a week now and have been having my best wash days ever. I have my best curl definition that I have had with any product that I have tried. I am still working out how much to use. I tend to be heavy handed and then the next time I try to use less
Gwen Dominguez (verified owner) –
Second time purchasing and really like this product!
Tracy (verified owner) –
Loving the gel & cleanser. The cleanser leaves my hair so clean, soft and manageable. The gel gives me a nice cast without feeling “product-y” and when I scrunch it out, my curls are still defined yet soft and bouncy. Great combo!
Keli (verified owner) –
This product is amazing! I couldn’t believe how awesome it made my curls look and feel. My wash day lasted longer using this too. Highly recommend them!
Kelsey (verified owner) –
I was so excited to finally try Treluxe products! I love both the Hi! Definition gel and the Reflex serum. Both gave me good definition but didn’t leave my hair feeling producty. I also tried the Untie the Knot leave in, and really wanted to love it, but unfortunately it didn’t have any slip and almost felt “sticky” in my hair, plus the smell was way too overwhelming. It gave me a headache unfortunately and then took several days to full wash out.
Randi (verified owner) –
I started by CG journey with this gel, the leave in and the serum (Reflex)…
Now that my hair is much healthier, these products are the only ones I get the amazing results from…
This gel gives me a good cast. and when I scrunch it out, I end up wirh the softest, bounces curls ever…
I probably won’t ever use anything else again…
ME –
Amazing gel but the fragrance is STRONG! I am 2C/3A medium porosity. I usually can’t use a protein gel b/c it dries my hair out. This gel is unique in that it has keratin protein. It really makes my hair curly and does not dry it out. The reason I am giving it 3 stars is the fragrance. It is REALLY strong. So strong that I can’t use your whole product line. I can only tolerate the gel but it’s a stretch. Honestly, I see people in different curl groups that love your products but can’t use them due to the fragrance. Please consider offering fragrance free or using a more muted scent.
Sach (verified owner) –
I absolutely hate using gel and have avoided it for quite some time. That being said, this hi! Definition gel is AMAZING. My hair is wavy and ends in a curl and is extremely prone to frizz but this gel locks all my hair into place. It’s moisturizing and not sticky feeling at all. My fine and thin hair doesn’t get weighed down and the protein in the gel gives my hair A great amount of shine and bounce. My hair dries faster with this gel than a cream and leave in. Highly recommend for those unfamiliar with gels or hate the sticky and heaviness of other gels. This is my go to summer styling product and I couldn’t be happier!!
nashua.cera25 (verified owner) –
This gel is everything , the consistency is different but i love it. I did a wash and go with this and the curl supreme and it was amazing . After 4 day i decided to do a low puff ponytail and i use this gel to lay down the front of my hair. Totally recommend love it and has amazing slip
Ana (verified owner) –
This has been the best of several curly hair gels I’ve tried. Totally worth every penny. I’m certain I will always have this gel at home.

Replaced the previous stuff I used (Cantu Coconut Curling cream). Excellent curl definition on 3A/3B low porosity hair, leaves my hair incredibly soft. It retains so much water that if you wash your hair close to going to sleep, you may wake up with damp hair like I have, so obviously great for moisture but if your hair is dense like mine (though fine in texture) it will take even longer than usual to dry. Scent is interesting, kind of herbal/floral and not obtrusive but smells nice. My favorite benefit is this leaves NO product buildup on my scalp unlike my previous product. In general an excellent product.
Michele (verified owner) –
I have only tried this a couple times, but So far I really like it. It’s light and makes my curls soft!!
Silvia –
I bought this gel online because I read good reviews about it. The gel did not work for my hair. My hair is high porosity medium density ,3b,c Type. My hair felt very dry.the gel smells ok though. I used it with untie the knot product which the smell of cinnamon it so strong it feels like you walking around with a cinnamon roll on your head( way too much) the leave in didn’t do anything for my hair at all, no slip, no softness nothing, was just like putting nothing in my hair. I tried to use both of them separated and then together, nope, nothing really helped. There is something in it my hair absolutely hates. I gave both of them away as I kept it for a few months to try again, and again did not work.
Shelby –
Honestly wow. This replaced my former holy grail curl enhancing custard. The inclusion of protein in this product makes it a game changer. It feels like NOTHING in my hair, I get the best definition and a good amount of hold. I have type 2, dense fine hair and I’m about 10 months into the curly girl method. Seriously, wow. The smell is so natural and subtle (I’m SO sensitive). Please never change this product, you’ve got a customer for life!!
Madisen –
I loved the definition this gel provided for my wash & go! First of all, a little goes a LONG way. You don’t need much and it spreads easily. It left my curls with a crunch which I love because it makes me feel that it will hold my curls longer, which it did!
TASHAWNA RODGERS –
Recently natural so I have tried a lot of products to keep my curls bouncy, tight and moisturized. I received some sample products from work (the plus of being the only black person, people just leave things on your desk!) and I watched a few youtube videos to see how other women liked it. I was still very skeptical. But I gave it a go and OMG!!!!! I’ve found my new favorite products. My curls are so defined! My hair is soft and does not look dull at all! I did a wash n go. My steps are 1. Co-wash. 3. Hand ring hair. 2. Leave in conditioner. 3. Section hair into 4-6 sections. 4. Take smaller sections and detangle with comb and Denman brush. 5. apply Reflex and Hi Definition and finger coil. REPEAT throughout sections. 6. Air dry. The key is keeping your hair WET and not just damp.
The first day my hair was “crunchy” but was absolutely soft by the next day and my hair only looked better as the week went on.
Thank you TreLuxe!!!!!!!!!!
Jennifer (verified owner) –
I LOVE this gel so much. I’ve actually repurchased it twice, which says more than anything else in my book. It has hold and shine without weighing my hair down. I have fine curls that are short, so my struggle was always between nice curls and volume. Until I found this gel. I love it so much and I recommend it to every curly girl I know! Please never stop making amazing products that really work for so many hair types!
Robyn Weinstein –
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m a confirmed ‘product junkie’ who lives in hot, humid South Florida. I’ve seen TreLuxe on YouTube videos but it wasn’t sold in my area UNTIL NOW!! I cannot tell you how AMAZING these products are. This gel, combined with the Untie The Knot, are sheer perfection. They are light, yet powerful and create the most shiny, defined and lasting curls I have EVER had. They hydration factor is unmatched. The smell is gorgeous too (I am soooo tired of smelling like coconuts). I can honestly say this is the best line of products on the market today. I hope they decide to add a Deep Conditioner someday so TreLuxe, if you’re listening, any plans for that? 🙂
Kerrie (verified owner) –
This product provides EXCELLENT definition. I might be a bit heavy handed with it still because even though I have less flakes after my first application (i was very VERY generous with my applications), I still see flakes after my second time using it. I do love the smell and I LOVE the slip that it gives and once again, I do love the definition. I just need to figure out the correct amount. I’m definitely going to try the reflex next.
customerservice –
Hi! Glad this product gave you great curl definition as that’s its main function. It is our most concentrated product, so keep in mind it’s best to use while hair is soaking wet. For best results try (1) using a dime to nickel size amount per section, (2) mixing with more water than product, (3) spread through your hands before applying, and (4) apply evenly to each section. Also- our ReFlex Curl Styling Serum is a more lightweight product if that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks!

I’ve had a sample size of this from a subscription box for some yrs ago. I used once before and didn’t like it so I decided to give it a go around again today and let me tell u it’s amazing. I think I didn’t like it before because of the hair smoothie I used with it. I tried a different one and this is my best wash and go by far to date. Wish I could attach a picture. I have hold but not to crunch shine and movement and bouncy oh and hydrated. Hoping I can get 4days out of this I’m growing out a tapered cut and it’s at an awkward stage and this gel let’s it fall all into the right places
Gabriella –
Words cannot describe how amazing this gel is!!! I didn’t even order it but was sent a sample with the rest of the products I did order and I can’t thank treluxe enough! This is THE best gel I have ever used and will be one of my holy grail products hands down! The shine, moisture, bounce and curl definition I achieve I’m using this product along with the curl supreme ensures my curls are poppin’ and well hydrated for 3-4 days easily! Awesome, awesome product!!
Keianna –
This product is a perfect styling gel for wash & gos. I paired this with the Curl supreme and I had awesome definition and moisture. A little bit goes a long way! I highly recommend!
Shiela E. Creel (verified owner) –
When they say, “a little goes a long way” it is true with this! I first apply their UTK (until the knot), then the CS (curl supreme) then a small about, about a quarter size amount, of their HDG (hi def style gel) all while my hair is wet. I also allow my hair to airdry for a little bit, then I use my diffuser. Love love love love love! And the best part, besides that it’s working to improve my hair’s health, it lasts throughout my workouts.
Jackie H. –
Thanks for making a variety of products that actually work. I prefer to use all of the products together, this helps me achieve volume, curls, shine and the softness I desire.
Shalah –
I am absolutely floored with how amazing these products are! This defining gel works better than my usual one which is saying a lot! I have very coily hair and this actually clumps and defines and elongates my curls beautifully! These are definitely going to become a staple product line for me! THANK YOU TreLuxe!!

Just purchased my first order with this product and I’m super excited to try it . I’m sure it’ll have my 4b/c curls poppin!!
devonacarson (verified owner) –
Recently purchased and absolutely love this. I used in combination with Untie Knot and Curl Supreme – i believe it was this that left my hair slightly crunchy but i really dont mind that, my hair remained moveable and defined and so moisturized ALL DAY! My hair is extremely thirsty and nothing for me has worked the entire day as this has. Let me also mention the delight of having a wonderful scent that i absolutely LOVE! I will be a keeper. Thank you for your products!!

I love this product. My cousin brought me a 1oz container last Christmas and I cherished it. I used it on special occasions when I had to have perfect curls. It doesn’t leave my hair crunchy and really gives my curls that extra bounce! I can’t wait for my next container to arrive.
