melonberry™ frizz fighting smoothing gel +vitamin C

product details

weightless definition, hydration & frizz control—without heavy oils or butters.

not your average gel—our melonberry™ frizz-fighting smoothing gel + vitamin c is designed to enhance curl definition, boost shine, and improve hair elasticity, all while remaining featherlight. this innovative formula provides long-lasting moisture retention without stiffness or crunch, allowing curls to move naturally while maintaining a smooth, frizz-free finish.

the power of melonberry™

our proprietary melonberry™ blend combines the moisture-sealing benefits of kalahari melon, raspberry, and strawberry seed oils with vitamin c, squalane, and hydrolyzed rice protein to strengthen hair while protecting against environmental stressors.

vitamin c (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that shields hair from oxidative damage caused by uv exposure and pollution, reducing protein loss and maintaining scalp health. studies suggest vitamin c plays a key role in collagen synthesis, which strengthens hair structure and prevents breakage.

panthenol (vitamin b5) is a humectant that binds to the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and reducing frizz while improving flexibility. research shows that panthenol increases hair’s resistance to mechanical stress, helping prevent split ends and breakage.

squalane mimics the natural lipids found in the scalp’s sebum, enhancing moisture retention, improving shine, and preventing dehydration. it also helps increase hair softness without leaving a greasy residue, making it perfect for fine or low-density curls.

hydrolyzed rice protein is clinically shown to increase hair’s ability to bind moisture by up to 32%, enhancing volume, curl elasticity, and strength. it works by forming a lightweight, protective film around the hair shaft, helping to reduce breakage and promote a fuller appearance.

marshmallow root extract is packed with mucilage, a natural plant compound that creates a slippery, gel-like texture when wet. this unique property provides natural slip for detangling while helping to soothe dry, irritated scalps associated with eczema, psoriasis, and environmental stressors.

AMAZING

I have 3C hair with my crown area being 4A. I’ve used manyyy other gels high end & low end searching for something that was as moisturizing & melted into my hair like a deep conditioner with the hold of a gel & I gave up. I was using another brand because I had settled BUT THIS! THE BOMB! THE SLIP, THE MOISTURE, THE HOLD & the non flakiness of if even if u over do it like me :)! Indeed i went crazy in my cart because Ive now found my true hair love. Cheers to great hair days. Please make a bigger size & never discontinue

Who needs DIY?

This reminds me of homemade flax seed gel! I have fine/high density type 3a/b curly hair and paired this with the companion leave in and got a fantastic wash n go and I even got a cast! Really light weight but I can see how some people could over do it if they've never used a gel like this.
