The technology: Squalane & Jojoba Oil

The formula combines styling technology with conditioning ingredients to help create defined curls without sacrificing softness and movement.

Squalane

Squalane is known as a protective agent on the surface of the hair fibre. It helps retain moisture in and on the hair fibre, supporting curls that feel more hydrated and manageable.

For curly and coily hair, maintaining moisture is particularly important because these hair types can be more prone to dryness and frizz. Squalane helps support a smoother, more conditioned feel while the styling formula provides hold.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil is known for lightly coating the hair fibre, helping provide shine and anti-frizz benefits without leaving the hair feeling greasy.

Together, Squalane and Jojoba Oil complement the styling technology, helping curls stay defined while maintaining a soft, natural appearance.

Who is Redken Sculpting Curl Gel suitable for?

Redken Sculpting Curl Gel is particularly suitable for people with:

• Undefined or poorly defined curls
• Dry or dehydrated hair
• Frizzy or unruly hair
• Dull-looking curls
• Wavy, curly or coily hair
• Hair that needs stronger styling control
• Curls that lose their shape throughout the day
• Hair requiring definition without stiffness or crunch

The product is designed for curl patterns 2B to 4C, making it a versatile option across a wide range of wavy, curly and coily textures.

It can also be used on colour-treated hair.

How to use Redken Sculpting Curl Gel

For best results, apply the gel to damp hair after cleansing and conditioning.

1. Apply a suitable amount of Sculpting Curl Gel into the palm of your hand.
2. Rub your hands together to distribute the product evenly.
3. Apply through damp hair in sections, working the product evenly from lengths to ends.
4. Shape and style your curls as desired.
5. Allow the hair to dry naturally or use your preferred drying method.

For additional definition, gently scrunch the curls upwards after applying the gel. Avoid excessive manipulation while the hair is drying to help preserve the curl pattern.

In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
