Bounce Curl Chia Seed Clumping Gel

The Bounce Curl Chia Seed Clumping Gel is a medium hold curl gel for wavy, curly and coily hair, formulated to group strands into defined curl clumps and hold them through humidity. Powered by chia seed extract, flaxseed and three humidity-blocking polymers, this thick, moisture-rich styling gel delivers long-lasting definition with a flexible, touchable finish rather than a hard crunchy cast.

What it does

• Groups separated strands into uniform, well-defined curl clumps
• Blocks humidity, tested to reduce frizz for up to 72 hours at 80% relative humidity compared with an untreated control group*
• Medium hold that lasts without stiffness, flaking or crunch
• Thick, moisture-rich texture that defines without weighing hair down
• Leaves hair soft and touchable once the cast is scrunched out

Hair texture: Fine, medium and coarse
Hair pattern: Wavy, curly and coily
Concerns: Frizz, humidity, loss of definition, curls that separate instead of clumping. Especially good for tighter curl patterns.

Key ingredients

• Chia seed extract (Salvia hispanica) is naturally rich in polysaccharides and forms a film when hydrated, supporting curl grouping and definition
• Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) contains natural mucilage for a gel-like slip and flexible styling support
• Three humidity-blocking polymers are film formers that manage how hair interacts with moisture in the air
• Pea peptide (Pisum sativum) provides lightweight protein conditioning
• Brown seaweed (Pelvetia canaliculata) adds marine polysaccharides and minerals for slip and smoother application

How to use

Apply to clean, soaking wet hair, working in sections and saturating each one fully, which helps curls form and prevents flaking. Smooth the gel through the lengths, coating each curl evenly, then scrunch upwards to build definition. Air dry or diffuse. The thick consistency can take longer to dry than a lighter gel. Once completely dry, scrunch to break the cast and reveal soft, touchable curls.

Good to know

Made for Australian humidity, so it holds through a Queensland summer and coastal air rather than collapsing by lunchtime. Contains protein (pea peptide) and glycerin, both worth checking if you avoid either. Free from silicones, sulfates and parabens.
