Bamboo FlexiStrong Styling Jelly

Meet your new go-to styler: a medium-strong jelly that holds wavy, curly, and coily hair for days without stickiness or crunch. Bamboo FlexiStrong Jelly gives shape and shine to all strands while actually supporting your hair’s health over time.

How? While most gels rely on microplastic compounds to give definition and hold, we don’t. We’ve used a potent combination of botanicals and safe synthetics that are good for both your hair and the planet.

• Two types of bamboo extracts strengthen and add a protective biofilm to your hair, holding your style while repairing damage.
  
• Rosemary hydrosol adds antioxidants
• Rose of Jericho brings richly hydrating polysaccharides
• Polyquaternium-69 is our safe synthetic, giving you a non-toxic, humidity-resistant hold without any pesky flakiness. It’s water-soluble (unlike many other polyquaterniums), so it rinses out clean, too.

This jelly has hold that stands up to humidity and definition that really lasts—we consistently get 3–4 days out of a style using it. Bamboo FlexiStrong Jelly is lightly scented with lavender, juniper berry, and bergamot at less than 0.9% of the total formula (so it should be fine if you’re scent-sensitive!).

Bamboo FlexiStrong Styling Jelly is ideal for 2A to 4C low, medium OR high porosity waves, curls, and coils.For high porosity hair, you'll like layering this product on top of the Flaxseed & Oat Protein Curly Hair Gel for extra moisture + nourishment. Not sure about your porosity? Read more here.

How to use: For curly, coily, or wavy hair, apply on soaking wet hair after a wash day. Start with a quarter-sized amount and add more as needed for longer or thicker hair. Pump into hands and rub together. Scrunch into hair, then use a cotton t-shirt (terrycloth towels can cause breakage!) to remove excess water. Air dry or diffuse as you choose. For straight or short hair, apply on wet or dry hair, pump a small amount into hands and rub together. For definition, concentrate at the ends and for volume, concentrate at the roots. Style as desired.
