Umberto Giannini Banana Jelly Styling Gel 200ml — Strong Hold, High Shine for Curly, Coily & Textured Hair

Umberto Giannini Banana Jelly Styling Gel is a strong-hold, high-shine styling jelly enriched with banana extract to define curls, control frizz and create sleek styles without stiffness.

Designed by curl specialists with over 25 years’ experience, this 200ml styling gel combines dependable hold and visible gloss while delivering lightweight moisture to textured, curly and coily hair. Vegan, cruelty-free and made in the UK, the formula helps shape styles from defined ringlets to slicked-back looks, and works on damp or dry hair for versatile styling moments.

How does Banana Jelly help define curls and reduce frizz?

The gel sets curl pattern and smooths the hair surface to minimize flyaways and frizz without leaving hair crunchy. Its banana extract and slip-forward texture make distribution easy so strands clump and form consistent definition.

• Strong hold that locks curl shape while allowing gentle movement
• Glossy finish for a polished, healthy-looking sheen
• Slip-friendly formula for even application and fewer tangles
• Controls humidity-driven frizz for longer-lasting styles

Can I use this gel for slick-backs, updos, or other polished styles?

Yes — Banana Jelly provides enough control to sculpt slicked-back looks, tamper down edges and set updos with a shiny finish. Apply to damp hair for a sleek base or smooth over dry hair to tame baby hairs and restore hold.

• Strong hold for neat slick-backs and smooth partings
• Quick-setting texture that keeps styles in place all day
• Dries to a visible high-shine without flaking
• Easy reworkability with a little water or damp hands

Is this gel suitable for different curl types and how do I apply it?

Formulated for curly, coily and textured hair, the gel adapts to a range of porosities and densities. For best results, distribute a nickel-to-quarter-size amount through damp hair for definition or use sparingly on dry hair to smooth and polish.

• Use on wet hair for enhanced definition and cast formation
• Apply on dry hair to control frizz and add shine without rewetting
• Work from roots to ends or scrunch into curls for bounce
• Layer with moisturisers or leave-in conditioners for added softness
