Giannini Curl Jelly vs. Coily Hair: Surprising Vegan Test We were intrigued by the promises of Umberto Giannini’s Curl Jelly, a curl-defining gel designed for 2a-4c textures. Upon first use, we noticed its lightweight, jelly consistency spread effortlessly through our coils without any heavy residue. The vegan, cruelty-free formula felt nourishing, and as we scrunched our hair, the definition emerged beautifully—no frizz, just sleek, springy curls. Our most striking observation? The product delivered on its versatility; some days it offered a hold that lasted all morning, while other times it softened slightly mid-day, adapting to our routines seamlessly. We appreciated its natural scent and the absence of harsh chemicals, though it didn’t provide intense moisture on its own. Overall, our surprise wasn’t just its performance—it was how effortlessly it aligned with our curl care goals.
