Unlike many other hair gels, it actually adds moisture to the hair, thanks to the addition of Aquaxyl™, a patented sugar-derived hydration complex, plant-derived glycerin, and organic aloe vera. In addition, various antioxidant packed, organic botanical extracts, including bamboo, ginger root, acai fruit, and pomegranate, nourish and protect depleted curls and imbue them with shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBut what makes this curl defining gel special is heat protective SymHair® Thermo, which is derived from Polyporus mushroom, hyaluronic acid, and fructose. SymHair® Thermo forms a film on the hair’s surface that protects it from heat damage and frizz-inducing humidity.
