Excellent gel for fine wavy/curly hair. My hair is multi-textured, featuring both waves and curls. Use this with the Curlsmith Leave-In air dry cream (just a little will do). Then, apply this liberally to cover all my fine strands, and then left it alone to air dry. It formed good curl clumps, as well as a good solid cast. I slept on it that way and the next morning went in and scrunched the crunch out of it using Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Leave-In. I sprayed a decent amount into my hands (not directly on my hair) and scrunched my hair until it was full of its waves and curls. It is a medium hold gel, rated at a 7, but it performed well for holding on to my curls and waves. And I also suggest sleeping with mulberry silk pillowcases, as that makes a big difference in keeping the cast in place.
