I also love that this gel does not leave my hair feeling "crunchy" and "hard" (unless i seriously over-use it). Once the product sets, my hair is touchable without being frizzy, and the curls still hold without a wet or plastic look.

Muk Kinky Muk Curl Amplifier is a curl-defining cream that shapes waves and curls effortlessly.
This lightweight formula helps separate and amplify each curl, giving them bounce, hold, and a soft, touchable finish. It fights frizz without leaving hair crunchy or sticky, so curls feel flexible and natural all day.
The creamy texture glides easily through damp hair, coating each strand with a smooth, lightly glossy sheen. Expect curls that feel moisturised, defined, and easier to manage, with a subtle salon-fresh scent that’s pleasant but not overpowering.
Perfect for wavy, curly, or textured hair, it works best after washing or refreshing curls. Use it whenever your curls need extra shape, control, and frizz defence, whether for everyday wear or special occasions.

- Rub hands together, then scrunch through mid-lengths and ends.
