Details
Strong Hold Gel delivers a firm yet flexible all-day, 24-hour hold with frizz control*. This non-flaking gel locks in your slick backs, sculpted styles, detailed edges, and defined looks with an optimal moisture-to-hold ratio. It doesn’t break or crack hair once set and easily washes out for healthy styling.

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.

  1. Start with clean, damp or dry hair.
  2. Dispense a pea-sized amount, rub between hands, and apply section by section evenly.
  3. Style as usual.
  4. To prevent reversion on textured hair, use a blow-dryer to set.

    Unexpected Surprise

    Strong is an understatement! this gel gets all my little flyaways & actually holds my hair in place for days ( long as I put a scarf on). it dries pretty quickly, so you have to apply and style immediately. no, flaky white stuff, so that's good.

    Mini twist *****

    I was pleasantly surprised buy this gel. Mostly any gel defines my curls and I always prefer a strong hold gel but the smell it took me two a different place. A place I've never been it almost made me feel like crying lol In a good way truly a beautiful scent

    Great product!

    I used this product for a wash and go and it's amazing. The shine, and the longevity is out of this world! I did receive this product in exchange for my honest and non bias review. This is something that I am adding to my normal hair routine. This reviewer received something in exchange for this review.

    Like glue

    Great for an updo and keeping flyaways in place. This stuff is thick and lasts a long time. It washed out cleanly. It was to thick to offer any kind of lift to my hair. Would use again for sleek updos. This reviewer received something in exchange for this review.
