struggle is real.

This is the most amazing product for curly hair I have ever used. I've tried so many gels and this one doesn't leave that awful crunch. My curls are defined and soft at the same time.

This is a really unique product. It's super moisturising but not heavy. Does the job of a leave-in and a curl cream perfectly. A little goes a long way so it's economical too. Smells amazing!

Finding a gel that holds my curls without making them feel heavy or crunchy has been a long journey. This one is a winner! It provides the perfect amount of hold — bouncy and natural looking.

My hair feels so much more hydrated throughout the day. It's gentle enough to use on my coloured hair without stripping it. The smell is incredible too. Definitely a repurchase for me.

We've got answers.

Is the Styling Duo suitable for my hair type? +
Absolutely. Both the Hair Balm and Styling Gel are designed to work across all curl types — from loose waves (2a) through to tight coils (4c). Whether your hair is fine, thick, short, or long, the duo adapts to your texture and needs.
Do I have to use both products together? +
Each product works beautifully on its own — but they're formulated to complement each other. The Hair Balm adds moisture without hold, and the Styling Gel adds hold without maximum moisture. When layered, you get the best of both: defined, soft, long-lasting curls.
How much product should I use? +
Divide your damp hair down the part line into two sections. Use 1 pump of Hair Balm per side, raking through to coat every strand. Then use a 10c piece sized amount of Styling Gel per side, scrunching upward into your curls. Less is more — start with these amounts and adjust from there.
When should I apply them? +
Apply both to freshly washed, damp hair. Start with the Hair Balm — rake or scrunch through to fully coat each section. Then apply the Styling Gel on top, scrunching upward to encourage your curl pattern. Diffuse or air dry until 100% dry before scrunching out the cast.
Will the gel leave my hair crunchy? +
Nope — that's the magic. The Styling Gel does form a light cast as it dries, which is totally normal. Once your hair is 100% dry, a gentle scrunch will break that cast and leave you with soft, touchable curls. The key is to wait until completely dry before you scrunch.
How long will one duo last me? +
With the recommended amounts, most people find the duo lasts 2–3 months of regular use. Both bottles are 250ml, so you're getting a generous amount. A little really does go a long way, especially with the balm.
Are these products sulphate and silicone free? +
Yes, 100%. Both products are free from sulphates, silicones, and harsh detergents. They're fully CGM (Curly Girl Method) approved, cruelty free, and made in Australia using clean, effective ingredients. No fillers. No nasties.
How fast will my order arrive? +
We aim to dispatch the same day or next business day via Australia Post. You'll receive a tracking number by email once it's on its way. We ship to Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. If your order arrives damaged — we'll replace it, no questions asked.
