Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel

Product Overview
  • Hold Without the Crunch: A cream gel for curly hair that sets your style with soft, touchable hold. Never stiff, sticky, or flaky.
  • Softer Coarse, Wiry Gray: As curly gray hair changes, it often feels drier and rougher. This rich cream softens the feel of each strand as it styles.
  • Calmer Frizz on Humid Days: Helps keep frizzy gray hair smooth and defined on muggy, windy days, so your curls stay curls.
  • Moisture While You Style: Aloe Vera Hydrosol replaces plain water as the base, so the gel adds moisture to dry-feeling strands while it shapes them.
  • Soft, Natural Shine: Evening Primrose Oil smooths rough-feeling strands, so silver and gray curls look glossy instead of dull or chalky.
  • Definition You Can Rework: Scrunch it, twist it, or smooth it flat. The creamy texture stays pliable, so you can reshape without starting over.
  • A Little Goes a Long Way: Start with a fingertip's worth and build from there. Thick coils may want more, fine hair much less.
Product Description

Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel is a cream gel for curly hair that has started to feel coarser, drier, and quicker to frizz as it turns gray. Instead of a stiff, crunchy cast, you get soft hold you can still run your fingers through.

The base is Aloe Vera Hydrosol, not plain water. Evening Primrose, Olive, and Coconut Oils join Cocoa Butter to soften wiry-feeling strands and smooth the surface for a natural shine on silver and gray. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) help hair look fuller and more manageable, while Marshmallow Leaf, Bilberry, and Arnica Flower Extracts round out the botanical blend.

The hold is flexible rather than rigid: enough for defined curls, twist-outs, and smooth blowouts, without a hard set. This styling gel works on damp or dry hair, from loose waves to tight coils, with a light, fresh scent from Sweet Orange Peel and Helichrysum Oils. Consider it the hair gel for women who gave up on gel because of the crunch.

Benefits
  • Silicone-Free Formula: Softness and slip come from plant oils and butters, not silicones, so nothing coats your strands.
  • No Drying Alcohols: Made without the drying alcohols common in traditional gels, so hair stays soft instead of brittle-feeling.
  • Sulfate-Free and Paraben-Free: Made without sulfates or parabens, a gentle everyday choice for gray, silver, and color-treated hair.
  • No Added Dyes or Salt: Nothing in the formula to tint silver or white hair, and no added salt to leave strands feeling dry.
  • Scented with Essential Oils: A soft, fresh scent from essential oils, with no synthetic fragrance blend added.
  • Plant-Based Styling Gel: A styling gel built on a rich, plant-based cream, for flexible hold you can actually touch.
  • Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Made without animal-derived ingredients and never tested on animals, for styling you can feel good about.
  • Handcrafted in the USA: Made in small batches in the USA with globally sourced, plant-based ingredients.

FAQs

What is the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel?

The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel is a cream gel that combines the flexible hold of a styling gel with the softness of a cream. It is made for curly, coarse and frizz-prone hair, including gray: Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Olive Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Cocoa Butter moisturize while the gel holds your style in place. Instead of leaving hair stiff or dry like many traditional gels, it conditions as it styles, so hair looks smooth, shiny and stays touchably soft.

How do I use the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel?

Put a small amount of the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel on your palms or fingertips and rub your hands together to warm it into a thin, even layer. On damp hair, spread it from roots to ends, then let your hair air dry or blow dry it on low heat. On dry hair, apply it sparingly at the roots or through the lengths to set your look. Use it as the final step in your routine, after any leave-in or oil, for the best hold. Start with a fingertip's worth: fine hair needs very little, while thick or dense curls may need more.

What is the difference between a cream gel and a regular gel?

A cream gel like the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel combines the hold of a gel with the moisture of a curl cream. Regular gels give strong hold but can leave hair stiff, dry or crunchy, while creams moisturize but often do not hold well. This creamy formula holds your style all day and conditions at the same time with Aloe Vera, Olive Oil and Cocoa Butter. If you usually layer a cream and a gel, this one product can often do both jobs.

Can I use the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel on wet or dry hair?

Yes. The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel can be applied to damp, towel-dried or completely dry hair. On damp hair, start at the roots and spread it evenly to encourage your natural texture, then air dry or blow dry on low heat. On dry hair, use a small amount, starting at the roots and working through with your hands, to refresh your style, smooth flyaways or add hold where you need it.

Will the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel hold my style in humid weather?

Yes. The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel helps your style resist humidity and keeps frizz down all day. Its moisturizing oils and butters smooth the hair, while the gel holds the shape in place. For the longest-lasting result, apply it to damp hair, let it dry completely before going outside and avoid touching your hair while it dries. On very humid days, you can smooth a tiny extra amount over the surface of dry hair to tame flyaways.

Is the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel good for coarse or frizzy hair?

Yes. The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel is made especially for coarse, frizz-prone hair. Its moisture-rich formula with Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Olive Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Cocoa Butter softens rough strands and smooths frizz, while the gel keeps your style in place, even in humid weather. Apply it to damp, detangled hair from roots to ends and let it air dry for the smoothest result. Use a little more on thick hair and less on fine hair.

Is hair gel bad for your hair? Does the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel contain drying alcohols?

Hair gel is not bad for your hair when the formula is gentle. The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel is made without drying alcohols, sulfates, parabens and silicones. The Cetyl Alcohol in the list is a fatty alcohol that softens hair, and Phenethyl Alcohol is a gentle preservative, not a drying alcohol. Many traditional gels can leave hair dry or stiff, but this creamy formula moisturizes with Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Olive Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Cocoa Butter, Panthenol and Hydrolyzed Rice Protein while it holds. To keep hair healthy-looking, wash the gel out regularly and use low heat when you blow dry.

Can men use the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel?

Yes. The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel works for men and women with any hair type. For short hair, warm a small amount between your palms and work it through damp or dry hair, then shape your style with your fingers or a comb. It holds all day while keeping hair soft and flexible, and the Aloe Vera, Olive Oil and Cocoa Butter keep hair and scalp moisturized instead of dry.

Is the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel vegan, and what is in it?

Yes. The Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and it is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company in business since 2007. It is made with Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Evening Primrose, Olive and Coconut Oils, Cocoa Butter, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Panthenol and Marshmallow Leaf, Bilberry and Arnica Flower Extracts, with Sweet Orange Peel and Helichrysum Oils for scent.

Perfect Hold

I have loose, gray curls that used to tend towards frizz with the slightest bit of humidity or wind.Today, after using Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel, I drove six hours at highway speeds, with all four windows all the way down. My hair didn’t frizz AT ALL! It isn’t stiff or crunchy either. Nice, soft curls. I love it!

I love the shampoo for Grey hair! Leaves my hair shiny & smooth! The Nutritive Creamy styling gel is the first product that I have found that adds volume without making my hair feel dirty! It takes just a very small amount which I add after partially drying my hair, then I finish styling. Great products!!!

Strong but Lightweight

Many gel products which I've tried hold my very fine hair in place but also weigh it down too much. This product holds nicely but my hair nicely without that issue. I'll continue to use and enjoy it.

Enjoying this product

I cut and style my own hair and was looking for a natural product to lift and scrunch my layers. The ones I found online got bad reviews on either their performance or smell. I was so glad to find that Just Nutritive had this styling gel. It doesn't exactly create a spiked look, but it gives a nice, soft hold, without making the hair sticky. You can also comb through it and re-style it, which is something you can't do with the spiking glue. It also gives the hair body and shine. Practice makes perfect, and I'm enjoying my styling adventure with this product. Like that it's all natural and smells nice, too!

I am not a huge hair product person but I saw this styling gel and had to give it a try. So glad I did! I have dry hair and I love that this gel is moisturizing with all of the wonderful ingredients it has in it (this is what sold me on trying this). I use it on my damp dry hair just before blow drying it. It makes my hair so smooth and silky! No more frizz. I love that it gives me that smooth finished style with the added benefit of protection and moisturizing at the same time. It isn't heavy or thick on my hair and a little bit of it goes a l-o-n-g ways. If you do use a little too much, it will feel thick at first but then it does soften out. Just start out very light in application. I really can't believe how wonderful this product is. Thank you JN!

Best Styling Gel

I have previously used just about every Gel on the market, and this one outdoes all the others. Very creamy, easy to use, and really makes styling my hair a breeze. I am a new customer of Just Nutritive and have already purchased their shampoo for grey and white hair, conditioner, gel, and cleanser. Tremendous products with a very soft fragrance. If you're on the fence about trying this brand, don't be, go for it! Wonderful products I will continue to be a consumer of.

Soft and easy to apply

At first I was a little afraid of trying the gel for the first time. Since gels tend to dry and harder the hair. However this Gel works wonders, it doesn't dry my hair, is very easy to apply and leaves my hair very manageable. While keeping a natural look.

7 days a week

Hair at times can be stubborn like a mule which makes a good hair day everyday somewhat impossible. Since using the Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel', which I have now for several month's, I can truly say that having that good hair day is an everyday occurrence seven day's a week. Thank you for a great product JustNutritive . PonySoldier

Perfect solution for twist outs

After trying four other brands of hair styling creams, Nutritive Creamy Styling Gel is my favorite for twisting my hair. My hair retains moisture and curl. My search ends here. I've purchased this product multiple times and recommend it to others.

Love all their products. !!!

All their products are excellent. Skin, body and hair. Skin nutritive serum self tanner dark or anti aging. I have very dry over processed chemically colored fine thin blond hair was like straw but i started using extreme dry hair shampoo, leave in conditioner rince them put just a tiny bit back from mid to end cond Also put a little styling gel cream in as well. Not too much for fine hair. Play w it. After blow drying, it looks and feels amazing the only other thing i do is add the vinegar rinse every 10 days.to clarify and get rid of build up on my scalp . Works great. Follow w conditiiner leave in. Amazing products. 10 stars

I really like this cream style gel

It's nice lightweight and keeps the extra moisture in the hair, especially with a dab of the detangler with it. This is great stuff for fine hair. It does exactly what it says it does, it plumpens the hair up to give it fuller look.

Ciuffo,
Perfect for curls!

I received a free sample of this gel when I ordered another product. I was very hesitant to use it because my curls are so temperamental and the gel wasn't really gel -- its more like a lotion. Well, I cannot believe how gorgeous my curls came out this morning. Lightweight and well defined and soft looking -- not frizzy at all and will nice hold. I love this product and will definitely be ordering a full size one asap.

Can't do without

Since getting older and not coloring my hair, this is the only product that keeps my hair in check without a heavy film. Believe my hair has better texture since started using. This is my second tub.
