All You Need To Know
Manetain Hard Hold Gel
A curly/wavy person’s primary defence against frizz and loss of curl definition, a good hair styling gel is quintessential to a CGM routine. Developed by founders Hinshara and Yuba (also devout followers of Lorraine Massey’s Curly Girl Method) to fill the void of good quality CG-friendly products in India, our Hard Hold Gel promises ridiculously good hold that’ll last you days.
Enriched with potent amino acids and advanced polymers, this strong hold gel for curly hair delivers not just maximum definition but also enviable shine and vibrancy.
This is one of the best strong hold gel for curly hair that offers long-lasting defence against frizz, flyaways, and humidity. Infused with the invigorating scent of citrus, this gel not only provides a refreshing styling experience but also guarantees defined curls and waves.
Take the required amount of hard hold gel (depending on hair length and texture) and spread it in your palms.
Using the praying hands motion, glaze the gel over sectioned, wet hair to lock in the moisture from our Leave-in Conditioner or Curl Cream.
Gently scrunch your hair, cupping the hair in your hands and lifting to your scalp, for enhanced curl pattern and better definition. Avoid touching your hair once you’ve applied the hard hold gel for curly and wavy hair while drying to minimise frizz.
Air dry or diffuse.
Shake the roots, fluff, and scrunch out the cast (SOTC) once your hair is 100% dry.
*A gel should be the last product you apply in your styling routine. For best results, use our Hard Hold Gel after applying our Leave-in Conditioner or Curl Cream on cleansed and conditioned hair. Use a styling method that works best for your hair.

Polymers:
A great ingredient for combating frizz, polymers form a protective barrier on the hair as well as add volume and thickness to the strands. Additionally, polymers not only aid in detangling but also offer protection against heat styling. The use of polymers in haircare products enhances hair definition and helps retain hairstyles for days.

Amino acids: Amino acids play a crucial role in enhancing hair health as they serve as the fundamental building blocks for the protein keratin, which constitutes the majority of your hair structure. Increased strength and elasticity and reduced breakage and brittleness are just some of the many benefits of amino acids.

Orange essential oil:
With a revitalising and refreshing citrus aroma, orange essential oil is packed with antioxidants that are both nourishing and fortifying for your hair. This essential oil in our strong hold gel for curly hair also helps increase shine and radiance.
Can this strong hold gel for wavy hair be used by all hair types?
Yes, the Hard Hold Gel is suitable for all hair types.
Is the product safe for children and pregnant women?
This is one of the best holding gel for natural hair and it is safe for pregnant women and children; however, we do not recommend the use of stylers on very young children. Also, a patch test is always recommended to look for signs of scalp irritation.
Does the gel form a cast?
Yes. The Hard Hold Gel forms a gel cast.
I have dermatitis/a sensitive scalp. Can I still use this gel?
Manetain does not make medicated products, and we do recommend consulting a doctor before using our products if you have any medical issues with your scalp or hair.
Is this unisex?
All curly hair products at Manetain are gender inclusive, including this strong hold gel for curly hair.
