The quinoa extract and keratin amino acids in this gel strengthen strands while still leaving curls still feeling soft and flexible (no need to worry about crunchiness here!).

This fragrance-free hair serum only has three ingredients, but each one is more powerful than the last. It’s packed with hemisqualane, which protects color and protects hair from heat.
