Details
Powered by our StemShield Complex, this tech protects the hair's barrier function—your hair’s natural armor—defending against 450°F/232°C heat styling, humidity, pollution, and styling-related damage. Plus, Thermal Gloss Blend delivers nourishing care and high-impact shine.
WHO IT’S FOR
All hair types.
SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE
Rich and complex, Temple Oud has notes of oud, Australian sandalwood, warm musk, night-blooming jasmine, Haitian vetiver, and violet leaves.
How to use
Things to Remember: Strong Hold Gel sets quickly—work in small sections until gel gets tacky, which means your style is locked in.
- Start with clean, damp or dry hair.
- Dispense a pea-sized amount, rub between hands, and apply section by section evenly.
- Style as usual.
- To prevent reversion on textured hair, use a blow-dryer to set.

Strong Hold Gel
FAQs
If I have dryness around my hairline, will Strong Hold Gel cause my hair to flake?
No. Our Strong Hold Gel is non-flaking. However, flaking is often caused by product buildup or existing dryness. Ensure your hairline is clean and well-moisturized before application.
Can Strong Hold Gel be used as an edge control?
Strong Hold Gel is a styling gel rather than a dedicated edge control. It can be used for light edge detailing and soft smoothing.
Does Strong Hold Gel dry hard or stiff?
Our Strong Hold Gel provides a firm yet flexible hold.
