Best-selling natural curl custard with medium hold that moisturizes and defines wavy, curly, and coily hair without the crunch. Infused with aloe, sea botanicals, and honey, with a fresh citrus kumquat scent.
Curly Hair Custard
More definition. More moisture. Just the RIGHT amount of hold!
Love your natural waves, curls, or coils but wish they had a little more definition, shine, and staying power? We've got you!
Meet our bestselling moptop Curly Hair Custard! This moisture-rich, medium-hold styler helps define your natural curl pattern, control frizz, and keep your hair looking fabulous beyond wash day.
The secret? It's all about MOISTURE + HOLD + the RIGHT application!
Our Curly Hair Custard has a thicker, more concentrated consistency than our Curl Enhancer Gel or Salon Anti-Frizz Gel. Formulated with humectants, botanical extracts, and conditioning ingredients, it helps attract moisture, enhance curl definition, and provide a flexible hold of approximately 5 out of 10.
Because this formula is thicker, applying it to SOAKING wet hair is KEY! Water helps distribute the product evenly, allowing your natural waves, curls, and coils to form beautiful, defined clumps without using too much product.
And here's the best part: Great curls shouldn't have to start over every morning! Curly Hair Custard helps your style hold its shape so you can refresh on day two or three instead of repeating your entire wash-day routine.
Why Your Curls Will Love It
-
Medium, flexible hold (5/10): Helps maintain beautiful curl definition without sacrificing natural movement
-
Moisture + definition: Humectants and conditioning ingredients help hydrate and enhance your natural curl pattern
-
Frizz control: Helps smooth flyaways and encourage defined curl clumps
-
Shine + bounce: Enhances your natural texture while supporting soft, touchable curls
-
Longer-lasting styles: Helps keep your curls defined so refreshing on day two or three is easier
-
Thicker, concentrated formula: A little goes a LONG way, especially when applied to soaking wet hair
-
Best for medium- to high-porosity hair: Especially well-suited for hair that absorbs moisture more readily and benefits from a richer styling formula
-
Great alone or layered: Use on its own or over your favorite MopTop leave-in or Curly Hair Cream for added moisture and definition
MopTop Tip: It's ALL About the Water!
Apply Curly Hair Custard to SOAKING wet hair, working section by section to distribute the product evenly. Gently scrunch to encourage your natural curl pattern.
Remember, this is a THICKER, concentrated formula, and a little goes a LONG way! Start with less than you think you need, and add more only if necessary.
Allow your hair to air-dry or diffuse, avoiding excessive touching while your curls set. Once your hair is approximately 70–80% dry, gently scrunch to release the set and reveal soft, beautifully defined curls.
Want to refresh on day two or three? Lightly mist your hair with water, gently scrunch to reactivate your style, and add a SMALL amount of Custard only where needed.
Which MopTop Styling Gel Is Right for YOU?
We've got a gel for EVERYONE! Whether you're looking for lightweight definition, more moisture, or stronger hold, the secret is finding the right combination of consistency, hold, and application for YOUR hair.
-
Curl Enhancer Gel - Lightweight Definition (4/10 Hold): Our lightest-hold gel with a thinner consistency. Perfect for enhancing natural waves, curls, and coils when you want soft definition, bounce, and movement without a lot of hold. Apply to damp or wet hair for easy styling.
-
Curly Hair Custard - Moisture + Medium Hold (5/10 Hold): Our bestselling, thicker, moisture-rich styler! Ideal for hair that needs more moisture, definition, and staying power. Best suited for medium- to high-porosity hair. Apply to SOAKING wet hair for best results. Not our first recommendation for low-porosity hair.
-
Professional Salon Anti-Frizz Medium Hold Gel - Stronger Hold + Frizz Control (6–7/10 Hold): Our stronger-hold option with a thinner consistency than Curly Hair Custard. Great for longer-lasting definition and additional frizz control. Works beautifully across ALL hair porosities, from very low to very high, and can be applied to damp or wet hair.
Not sure where to start? Think of it as your hold journey:
Curl Enhancer Gel (4/10) → Curly Hair Custard (5/10) → Salon Anti-Frizz Gel (6–7/10)
Remember, your curl pattern doesn't have to determine your gel. Your hair's porosity, the hold you want, and how you like to style it do!
A Little Second- and Third-Day Curl Love!
We believe great styling products should help your curls LAST, not make you start over every morning!
All three MopTop gels are designed to provide hold, support your natural texture, and make refreshing easier between wash days.
Simply add a little water, gently scrunch to bring your waves or curls back to life, and touch up with a small amount of product where needed.
Your texture. Your definition. Your natural beauty - with just the RIGHT amount of hold!
