Umberto Giannini De-frizz & Define Duo — Curl Jelly + Crème de Curl, Vegan Frizz-Control & Lightweight Hold

Umberto Giannini De-frizz & Define Duo pairs a hydrating curl cream with a lightweight curl jelly to define, reduce frizz and deliver flexible, touchable hold for wavy, curly and coily hair.

This two-step kit includes the cult-favourite Curl Jelly Scrunching Jelly Hair Gel and the Crème de Curl Cream to create a simple, repeatable curl routine. Together they layer moisture and hold: the cream hydrates and smooths cuticles while the jelly seals in definition and shine without stiffness. Formulated in the UK, both items are vegan, cruelty-free and free from silicones, sulphates and drying alcohols, making them suitable for anyone seeking salon-style curl results at home.

How do I use these products together for best results?

Start with damp, clean hair. Apply a small amount of Crème de Curl from mid-lengths to ends to add moisture and reduce flyaways, then scrunch through with the Curl Jelly to set shape and lock shine. Air-dry for relaxed definition or diffuse on low heat for extra volume and faster drying.

• Step 1: Apply Crème de Curl evenly on damp hair for hydration and smoothing.
• Step 2: Work Curl Jelly through sections and scrunch to encourage clumping.
• Step 3: Air-dry or diffuse; reshape with fingers when dry for flexible hold.

Will this duo prevent frizz without making hair crunchy?

Yes — the formula pairing is designed to give definition without a crunchy finish. The cream delivers slip and moisture that keeps strands supple, while the jelly provides a lightweight film that controls frizz and enhances shine without brittle stiffness.

• Crème de Curl smooths cuticles and improves manageability.
• Curl Jelly offers flexible hold and glossy finish without residue.
• Layering both reduces cast and allows natural movement when dry.

Which curl types will benefit from the De-frizz & Define Duo?

This duo is formulated to work across a broad range of textures — from loose waves to tight coils — because it balances hydration and hold. Users with fine hair should use smaller amounts to avoid weighing hair down, while thicker or drier textures can layer more cream before finishing with the jelly.

• Wavy hair: enhances natural pattern and reduces frizz.
• Curly hair: promotes clumping and definition without crunch.
• Coily hair: adds moisture and soft hold to maintain structure.

How does the formula align with clean beauty preferences?

Both products are vegan and cruelty-free, made in the UK and formulated without silicones, sulphates or drying alcohols. The duo aims to provide professional-level styling while keeping ingredient lists friendly to those avoiding common harsh additives.

• Vegan and cruelty-free manufacturing standards.
• No silicones, sulphates or drying alcohols in either formula.
• Designed for everyday styling without heavy build-up.

Who is this for? The Umberto Giannini De-frizz & Define Duo suits anyone with textured hair who wants a simple, effective routine: people seeking hydrated, defined curls that feel natural to the touch. It’s especially useful for curl enthusiasts who prefer clean formulas and need a versatile system that works for air-drying or diffusing. If you’re after consistent curl clumping, reduced frizz and a soft, flexible finish — this duo is built to deliver those everyday styling results.
