morning routine changer

I no longer stress before styling my curls. I have fine hair so I struggle with frizz worse than most. since this product - WHAT FRIZZ? I'm in absolute love and since finding this product, I never want to allow myself to even run out. auto-replenish this because you don't want to be stingy. don't get me wrong, a little goes a long way. but when I know I have another bottle coming I don't hold back and with fine hair, I need that extra support 😅 recommend this to anyone with curls wanting zero frizz, bounce that stays, volume and curl to the root, softness and a healthy shine.

Fragrant to a fault

While I love many Kerastase products, this is unfortunately not one of them. It is perhaps one of the strongest smelling products I’ve ever used, and not in a good way. The aroma is reminiscent of old perfume - powdery, floral. It’s so pervasive that I can’t wear it - I’ve tried twice! So for anyone who has sensitive smell, I would not recommend this product.

Originaly posted on  kerastase-usa.com

Reply from Consumer Care Center 22/08/2026

Thank you so much for your loyalty to Kérastase and for sharing your honest experience with us. While we are delighted that you love many of our other formulas, we are truly sorry that the fragrance of this particular product was so strong and powdery that you couldn't enjoy using it—even after giving it two tries. Fragrance is deeply personal, and because our signature scents are crafted to linger like fine perfumes, a bold, powdery-floral profile can easily become pervasive and overwhelming if it doesn't match your personal preferences or if you are sensitive to scent. We appreciate your honest warning for guests with sensitive noses, and we want to ensure you have a routine you truly love from start to finish. If you purchased this directly through our website, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team so we can assist you with a return or exchange for one of our fresher, lighter-scented formulas.

Not for me

This gel is not for my 3C curls. The slip is good but once dry get very frizzy and does not hold well for me. I think may work for less curly hair but was very disappointed in this gel. There are other products in this line that I like but the gel is not a strong enough hold for my hair.

Originaly posted on  kerastase-usa.com

Reply from Consumer Care Center 01/07/2026

We are so sorry to hear that this gel didn't provide the strong hold and frizz control your gorgeous 3C curls need! While we're glad the slip made application easy, we know that tighter curl patterns require a serious level of definition and locked-in moisture to keep frizz at bay once dry. We love that you enjoy other products in the line, but it sounds like your curls definitely need a formula with a much stronger hold level. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback—it helps us keep crafting the perfect solutions for every unique curl type!

A miracle product

I've been using (and loving) Kérastase products for almost 20 years, and have never bought something I didn't love, but also haven't loved something so much that I've taken the time to write a review either. But this product sort of blew my mind! I have dry/frizzy curls (mix of 2C and 3A) that I usually default to blowing out straight because I've tried alllllllll the recommended curl lines and products, and either end up fuzzy or crunchy, or an odd mix of both. The reviews on this one were so great though, I decided to give it a shot ... I'm kind of in shock! With no effort from me (I sort of slopped it in, barely scrunched, air-dry), these are the curls I've always wanted. I don't know what kind of magic is in this stuff, but somehow my hairs are perfectly defined without even the tiniest bit of crunch. Even my husband said, "Wow, your hair looks great today!" I'm 43 and while I do wear my hair curly sometimes, especially in summer, but I've NEVER been *excited* for a curly hair day. This product changed that. It's the first time I've preferred my natural curly hair to my straightened/styled hair, as opposed to just wearing it curly out of laziness, to give it a break from heat styling, or because of high humidity. For those wondering about amount, my hair is very fine (but there's a lot of it), and it comes down just below my collar-bone when straight ... 2 pumps is the right amount for me, maybe 3 if it's supremely humid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is pretty much the only product I will use anymore with my fine-hair curls. My stylist, usually trying to upsell me products in her store, told me to stick with this because it was really working for me. I agree!

Beautiful curls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love, love, love Kérastase Curl Manifesto Gelee Curl Contour!!! It holds a spiral curl in my fine, mostly white hair for several days. I get compliments all the time on my beautiful curls and I love the soft perfume it leaves in my hair.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I bought this product along with the Curl Manifesto curl refreshes and it works so good!, It does not leave your hair sticky, oily, or weighted down. It smells so good and my curls always look as if I have diffused it, so much that I no longer diffuse my hair. It smells amazing. I recommend this to all my curly hair girlies, I even use it on my two year old and we get compliments all the time.

Absolutely love curl manifesto gelle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the smooth texture when applying and absolutely love how light it is on my hair. I apply after washing and use for extra body and detangling. I buy several bottles at a time so I am never without it.

My Daughter and I love this!

My Daughter has crazy thick, curly hair that tends to frizz. I have curly hair that looks thin. We both use this product and it is the best! I am also a licensed cosmetologist and with that said, we have gone through a lot of products. This one is the one!

Gele parfaite

J ai donne mon avis sur tous les produit de cette gamme. Sur cette gele aussi mon avis est excellent. Mais je profite pour dire que la gamme Manifesto manque d’une mousse dedier. La mousse Manifesto j espere soit realisee tres bientot surtout avec l odeur principale de cette gamme. J ai esseye le coifffage de mes boucles que avec les produits de la gamme Manifesto mais ils manquait de legerte aerienne. J ai esseye tellement des mousses et enfin j’ai trouve’ celle qui me faut. Mais mon reve reste toujours la. Que un jour Kerastase nous fasse cadeau d une mousse avec la signature olfatif de Manifesto. La gele celle la boucle et me permet la definition.

Lightweight but strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product! Gives me very lightweight but strong curls. It’s actually one of the best products I tried. Most curl gels are sticky and make curls hard as a rock, but this one is lightweight but creates beautiful coils

Too thick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Felt like helmet hair with even with a very small amount

Reply from Consumer Care Center 18/02/2026

We are sorry to hear that this product left your hair feeling like "helmet hair," even with a very small amount! This is a frustrating experience, as it usually means the formula is providing too much hold or structure for your specific hair type and style, making it feel stiff or unnatural. Please call us at 1-877-254-9949 for assistance, as our team can help you identify a more lightweight range or look into a potential return. Your feedback on the formula's performance is very important to us and will be shared with our product development teams.

Absolutely Fabulous

Excellent product! Curly, wavy hair is new to me. After medical hair loss, my hair grew back curly and thick. I tried Curl Manifesto Gelee Contour Gel-Cream and I am a huge fan! It makes my curls soft and bouncy, gets rid of frizz, and the shine is incredible

Curl Manifesto Gelée Curl Contour Gel-Cream

Smells good. I do wish it would hold a little more. I like the crunch because once you have the cunch and then you put oil in and crunch it out the curls do last longer.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the fragrance. We completely understand the "scrunch out the crunch" technique—it's a wonderful way to achieve long-lasting, defined curls with a soft finish. It sounds like you're looking for a bit more structural hold to support that beautiful definition. We would love to help you find the perfect product to layer into your routine for that ideal level of hold. Please reach out to our experts at 1-877-254-9949, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM EST, and we can help you refine your curl ritual.

Solid support without weight

My hair really loves this. Provides soft definition for my waves without the crunch. I do have to use another product with it but this is a strong foundation product right out of the shower.

Good replacement for regular gel

I previously used gel and now just use this after washing. My hair has never been healthier than switching to this curly line and I’m a brunette who gets colored every 12 weeks blonde. Even my hairdresser commented on how healthy my hair is!

Unfortunately the hold was too light for my hair. If I use it, blow dry my hair - next day nothing is visible, hair all fuzzy and messy curls

Best product for my cutly/wavy hair fine hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gelle is so easy to use and leaves my hair soft, never crunchy. My hair feels clean and soft the next day, not heavy or dirty with product. I usually pair with creme du jour before crunching and air drying or diffussing. I can refresh it with a water spritzer next day.
