Product Description

Who is it for?

For daily styling of waves, curls, and coils — a stock-up size that is gentle enough for color-treated, relaxed, kids', and tweens' hair.

Key Benefits

Hydrates curls, soft to medium touchable hold, real frizz control, and no flakes or crunch — in a larger refillable size that lowers your per-wash cost.

Customer Reviews

Absolute Joy

Absolute Joy, is the best way I can describe the feeling I get when I feel or smell my hair after applying these amazing products.
I am 64 years old and when I tell you I have tried a multitude of products on my hair over the years that is an actual understatement.
For many years I straightened my hair I wanted anything but my natural curls.
Primarily because I would always end up with a brittle bush on my head, no definition, no shine and not very nice to touch.
Well finally those days are long gone. These wonderful, fresh, clean, nourishing products have allowed me to love my curly hair and it shows.
My curls are luscious, soft, touchable, silky shiny, they smell beautiful and look and feel all that and more.
My only issue is everything keeps selling out. I want the big 34oz bags of both the Gel and Curl Defining cream and I can't ever seem to get it as it is always sold out.
I guess that's another testament of just how AWESOME these products are.
I wont give up and I will keep buying the individual size bottles until the big bas are back in stock.
Please, to the sisters that created OCOA PLEASE don't ever change your formula, don't let big manufactures come in and ruin what you two have so lovingly created.
If it ain't broke please don't try to fix it!
Congratulations on your dream becoming so successful, and Thank you from one Curly girl to another Thank You!

Hola Rowena, Your review truly made our day. We love hearing how you’ve embraced your natural curls and that OCOA has become such a special part of your routine. Knowing your curls are feeling soft, shiny, defined, and healthy means so much to us.
We also hear you on the 34 oz refills. We appreciate your patience while they’re unavailable, and we’re grateful that you continue choosing OCOA in the meantime.
From our two Dominican sisters to one curly girl, thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown OCOA over the years. 💛

This is amazing. I am extremely happy the refill is back. Both my daughter and I use this and all of the other products.

Not enough hold

I have mostly 3B curls but this gel does not have enough hold. I washed my hair then used this gel and my curls were flat within a few hours. With my previous curl routine, my curls lasted days and only needed minor refreshes. In combination with their shampoo and conditioner, this gel did not do enough to hold. I won't be able to use it without using hairspray as well. I also did not like the way my hair felt once it dried. Sad I spent all this money on a product I can't use. Try at your own risk!

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re really sorry to hear the gel didn’t work out for your 3B curls. We completely understand how disappointing it is when a product doesn’t deliver the results you were hoping for, especially after investing in a full routine.

Our Hydrating Curl Gel was designed with a medium hold for softness and definition, but we know some curl types (especially 3B and tighter) often need stronger hold or layering to extend longevity. Some of our customers with similar textures have had success layering the gel over our Curl Cream, or finishing with our Curl Refresh + Hold Spray for added support but of course, every curl is unique.

We appreciate your honest review and are always working to improve based on feedback like yours. If you're open to it, we'd be happy to offer styling tips or help you find a combo that works better for your curl goals. Please email us at support@ocoabeauty.com

Thank you again for trying OCOA , we’re grateful you gave us a shot.

Best,
Cory (co-founder) + the OCOA Team
