Style: Work Ceramide Jelly through sections for smooth definition and medium hold.
Refresh: Lightly mist hair with water and apply a small amount of Ceramide Jelly to redefine texture.
Finish: Once dry, scrunch gently to break any cast and reveal soft, frizz-free, weightless curls full of movement.

Ceramide Jelly is a different game!

Ceramide Jelly is a totally different game! I usually know exactly which products work best for me, but this new line gives my curls a completely different type of definition. Definitely worth trying if you want to switch up your look

Good gel

The jelly smelled really good and I had incredible curl definition after using the Bounce Curl Volume brush with it.

I’ve been using the Bounce Curl Weightless Collection and honestly, it’s been amazing so far. The smell is incredible, the formula feels so nice and soft, and it’s made my curls the curliest they’ve ever been. I’m also obsessed with their new hairbrushes — such a good addition to my routine. The only thing I’d love to see is bigger bottles, because I go through this stuff fast and it’s just that good.

Absolutely my favorite product of all time

Absolutely my favorite product of all time. I have been using bounce curl for over 10 years and this has got to be hands down the best product line yet! The smell is absolutely amazing and the results are jaw dropping. My day 2 hair has never looked so good

I’ve been a fan of bounce curl from the start

I’ve been a fan of bounce curl from the start. When this new collection was released I was so excited - I was always trying to lighten their original formula (which was great but too heavy for me - especially since I have less hair than when I was younger). This collection is a total game changer.

Loved this product! Truly weightless

Loved this product! It holds true to the weightless claim. I don’t normally use ‘gels’ because I have longer heavier hair so I feel they weigh my hair down when I use them. I’m more of a creams or lotions person , but when I saw the weightless collection I figured I would take a chance and I think I’m sold. I also left a review on the cream. Pics include cream on the left side, jelly on the right. Fully dried hair.

My CURLS 😍

I'm in LOVE with this new collection!! I adore the smell, the packaging, and the look of my curls. It gives a great hold that I have been looking for as well and airy feel to my hair. This is my new go to routine.💖🙏🏽

Lightweight, but great hold!

Gels can be difficult for me, as I need moisture, but I have very fine hair, so I have to be careful. This gel left a good cast, but broke up very easily once dry to leave me with lightweight, hydrated, defined, but voluminous hair. I have loved the BounceCurl products for years, but this weightless collection takes the cake for me!

I love this product! I pair it with defining

I love this product! For best results, for my hair, I pair it with defining buttah. Gives the best definition with a slight cast that goes away with oil or goes away on its own throughout the day.

A Winner

After coming up with the right routine, I really like this Ceramide Jelly as a one-and-done styler. I will explain. I am a 77 year old woman with thin, fine, healthy hair that, under the right circumstances, is a mixture of curls and waves. It is cut without layers and is about collar-length in the back. Most products that I have tried through the years, have had a tendency to relax my curls, which becomes more problematic as I keep losing more hair with the passing of time. I started out using the Hydra Lite Styling Cream, but my curls turned out rather relaxed and wonky/angular, and didn’t hold well. I tried using the Ceramide Jelly after using a moisturizing shampoo, but that didn’t work out well at all. Finally, I found a routine that works consistently well for me as follows: I double wash my hair with a clarifying shampoo (Pantene Pro-V, Sheer Volume) that is not moisturizing. (Note: I have soft water.) Then I skip using any additional conditioner/moisturizer and instead go straight for the Ceramide Jelly, working about a large pea-size amount through my wet hair. I loosely wrap my head very briefly in a tee shirt just until I can get out of the shower and comb through my hair with a wide-tooth comb. Then I squeeze and “bounce” my curls to loosen them up and let them air dry, which doesn’t take long. At this stage my hair looks quite stringy and as if it will end up staying that way, but by the time my hair is completely dry, the look has softened and all I have left to do is scrunch a little bit. I can even sleep on my hair without the curls flattening. Also, this product does seem to add lift/body. Best of all, I have more and tighter curls, which are appropriately round and ringlet-like instead of elongated or angular.

This hands down is the best gel i have ever used

This hands down is the best gel i have ever used. I have 2b/2c thick fine hair and I live in humid area and this gel is the only gel that keeps the hold and reduces frizz. I have used a lot of gels/mousses and this is amazing!!!!!!

Smells beyond strong

Smells beyond strong. Very heavy and unnatural! It does kinda work but honestly cannot stand the scent . Way too fake

Fantastic gel

Fantastic styling product

This is the best curly styling product I have tried to date. Very lightweight, and does not leave my hair feeling greasy/suffocated by product. I use this on top of a leave in conditioner from another brand, and it works perfectly. Texture is less firm than a gel, and the product distributes exceptionally well. A little goes a long way, allowing the tub to last awhile.

This Ceramide Jelly is a total game changer!

This Ceramide Jelly is a total game changer! It offers the perfect amount of medium hold without weighing my curls down! It also has good slip to make brush styling easier! I love that I still end up with bouncy and voluminous curl definition even when I air dry after using this Ceramide Jelly! I usually layer the Weightless Leave-In Conditioner underneath this Ceramide Jelly to make sure that my wet curls are properly detangled, moisturized, and are fully primed with heat protection even though the Ceramide Jelly offers so much moisturizing slip that I could probably skip the leave-in conditioner first if I were planning on air-drying! I love that this Ceramide Jelly is packed with nourishing ingredients without being heavy enough to weigh my curls down! I get at least 2-3 days of good hold from this Ceramide Jelly with minimal refreshing needed in between, and the hold is even better whenever I pair this Ceramide Jelly with the Bounce Curl Alcohol-Free Hairspray!

I love how this jelly slides through my hair when

I love how this jelly slides through my hair when applying. Sometimes I use it with your lightweight lotion or with your lightweight gel, and it does not dry out my hair or make it greasy. It also adds shine and makes my hair soft.

Easy refresh. Hydrating medium hold. Nice scent.

Worked with this for a few months now. I have fine 3a/2c curls past my shoulders with bangs. I would say this is most comparable to the Tootilab gel in my experience, but more hydrating.

Hold - solid medium as advertised, but initially it can appear weaker because it takes a long time to dry relative to other gels I’ve used. Fine haired curlies will feel extra hydrated and fine may not see full curl up until completely dry. I use the bouncecurl heat protect spray with this but no other leave in.

Refresh — easy to refresh gel. For frizz- Rewetting with a tiny bit of gel to smooth the top layer is usually sufficient. For definition: I scrunch or smooth gel in after defining my curls rather than comb through and with a little bit of spray mist and diffusing, I can get my curls to bounce back after a night of sleep. More gel used on 3rd day or 4th day refresh.

Smell - fruity/tropical but actually nice. Bouncecurl is a standout brand when it comes to scents. I normally dislike tropical smells but this one smelled natural and not chemically. (Comparison: I do not like curlsmith products because of their fruit scents).

Best!

First gel I have ever used that did not feel like I was breaking my ultra fine hair when breaking the cast. Can even use it in tiny amounts to restyle, though that is rarely needed.
