Big volume. Flexible hold. Zero crunch.
Meet the Curl Bites Volume & Hold Scrunching Gel—a lightweight styler that delivers full, defined, frizz-free curls without weighing you down.
Perfect for waves and curls (fine to thick), this gel uses a naturally derived corn-based polymer to sculpt your curls with a soft, flexible medium hold. You’ll get that juicy, bouncy curl definition and the volume your curls have been craving.
💫 Medium hold without stiffness
🌽 Natural polymer from corn = clean, effective styling
🍎 Infused with betaine + apple extract for lightweight moisture
🍊 Finished with a fresh citrusy scent of orange + lemon balm
As it dries, the gel forms a soft cast—lock it in, then scrunch it out for shiny, defined curls that last. The oil-free formula keeps things light, giving you touchable texture and natural movement.

Directions
The curl gel is applied directly after the leave-in conditioner to set the definition and give hair long-lasting hold.
Step 1: First, make sure your hair is still quite wet. If it has started to dry, use a spray bottle to re-wet it thoroughly. Rub the product between your palms and distribute it evenly through your wet hair.
Step 2: Gently but firmly scrunch the hair upward to encourage the curls to form and bounce. Ensure you’ve used enough product. If your hair tends to lose shape quickly, we recommend applying the gel in two layers.
Optional Step 3 for mega definition: If your hair loves extra hold, we recommend layering two gels. At Curl Bites, we call this the 2-Step Hold System, which provides maximum definition and hold.
Apply the Mega Definition Strong Hold Gel as your second gel to achieve strong hold and extra definition.
These two gels work perfectly together, offering long-lasting definition and just the right amount of lightness to achieve maximum volume and bounce.
Step 4: Use a diffuser on medium speed and medium heat to dry the hair. Rotate your head in all directions to increase volume as you dry.
Step 5: Once the hair is completely dry, scrunch it again to break the “gel cast,” leaving your hair super soft and smooth.
