Pureology Smooth Perfection Shaping Control Gel is a flexible-hold styling gel made for coarse, unruly, frizz-prone hair that has been colour-treated. Built around the brand's Thermal AntiFade Complex (xylose and vitamin E), it is worked through damp hair before blow-drying or air-drying to lock in a smooth, controlled shape without leaving hair stiff, crunchy, or coated.

The gel is sulfate-free and vegan, in keeping with Pureology's colour-care line. Rather than simply drying hair into place, it uses a coconut oil and sunflower seed extract base to help smooth the cuticle while a flexible-hold polymer keeps flyaways down through the day. The intended result reads as sleek and glossy rather than gelled, so it works for smooth blowouts, sculpted styles, or knocking down frizz on wavy or curly textures that need to hold shape without stiffness.

  • Flexible, buildable hold for shaping and frizz control
  • Formulated for coarse, unruly, or frizz-prone hair
  • Sulfate-free and colour-safe, suited to colour-treated hair
  • Works wet-to-dry for blow-dried or air-dried styles

It is best applied sparingly and reworked through dry ends later in the day if hold has relaxed, rather than reapplied heavily from the start.

Formulated for people with coarse, thick, or unruly hair that frizzes easily, particularly when it is also colour-treated. It suits anyone blow-drying or styling their own hair at home who wants shape and hold without stiffness or a coated feel — it is not aimed at fine or fragile hair, which may find the hold too heavy. This is a consumer retail styling product sold through professional/salon channels, not a professional-only formula requiring a stylist.

The differentiator here isn't raw hold strength so much as how the gel behaves once it's on the hair: instead of drying into a hard cast, its polymer system stays flexible enough to be reworked through the day, while xylose and vitamin E in the Thermal AntiFade Complex are meant to offset the heat exposure and colour fade that come from repeated blow-drying. For someone with coarse, colour-treated hair who blow-dries regularly, that combination of frizz control and heat-related colour protection is the practical reason to reach for this over a plain styling gel.

Apply a small, coin-sized amount to towel-dried, damp hair.

Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots if less volume is wanted at the crown.

Blow-dry for a smooth, polished finish, or let hair air-dry for more defined, controlled texture.

Rework a small amount through dry ends later in the day if hold has relaxed.

Pros

  • Flexible hold shapes hair without the stiff, crunchy finish typical of firmer-hold gels
  • Sulfate-free and colour-safe formula, won't strip colour treatment between washes
  • Vegan formulation with coconut oil and sunflower seed extract in the base
  • Works for both blow-dried and air-dried styling

Cons

  • Formulated specifically for coarse/unruly textures — likely too heavy for fine or thin hair
  • Some retail marketing references camellia oil, which is not actually in the ingredient list — don't expect that specific ingredient in the jar
  • Contains fragrance components (citral, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, linalool) that may affect fragrance-sensitive scalps
