Wavy and curly colour-treated hair that falls flat or loses definition, especially finer curls that collapse under heavy creams and gels. Pureology describes it as a light-control spray gel for limp, lifeless colour-treated curls.

It is a simple retail styler for at-home use on damp or dry hair. Very coarse or tightly coiled hair that needs strong hold or rich moisture may want to layer it with a heavier curl product.

Curls that are fine or loose often come out flat under creams and heavy gels. A spray gel lets you add definition and bounce with a mist instead of raking product through, and it can be used again on day two to bring curls back without re-wetting everything. It also keeps a colour-safe routine intact for curly clients who use Pureology care.

• Spray onto damp or dry hair as needed.
• Scrunch or shape curls, then diffuse or air-dry.
• Do not rinse.

Pros:

• Light hold that does not weigh fine curls down
• Can be used on damp hair to style or dry hair to refresh
• Leave-in, no rinsing
• Contains the Antifade Complex for colour-treated curls

Cons:

• Light control only; not enough on its own for strong, all-day hold
• Fragranced, with allergens such as linalool, limonene and geraniol
• The Curl Complete line appears to be discontinued, so the formula may not be available long term
