Bali Curls Hydrating Curl Cream and Curl Defining Gel have different jobs in a styling routine. The cream is presented by the brand as a moisturizing styling product; the gel is presented as a product for hold and definition. We carry both in 150 ml packs.
If you are choosing your first one, start with what you want to change about your routine. Are you looking for a cream-based styling step, or a product whose main role is to hold the shape you create? That question is more useful than choosing by the similar packaging.
What is different about the cream?
The manufacturer's published ingredient list for Hydrating Curl Cream includes shea butter, coconut oil and betaine. Its directions say to distribute it through damp hair and style as desired.
For a cream-led routine, view the cream. Read the ingredient list on your own pack as well, particularly if there is an ingredient you avoid.
What is different about the gel?
Bali Curls describes Curl Defining Gel as offering strong hold without stickiness. Its published ingredient list includes flaxseed and ylang-ylang extracts. This makes it the more direct product to compare when hold is the part of your routine you want to work on.
View the gel for the 150 ml option we carry. The brand's description is not a promise that every hair type, amount of product or styling method will produce the same finish.
Do you need to buy both?
You do not need to buy a pair just because the products belong to the same range. If you already use a cream you like, compare the gel with the hold product in your routine. If your current question is about a moisturizing styling step, start by comparing the cream.
When trying a change, keep a note of which product you used and how you styled your hair. Changing several products at once makes it harder to tell which change you prefer. Follow the directions on each pack; this comparison does not replace them.
Are the pack sizes the same?
The two linked Beauty Care Bag listings are both 150 ml. They remain separate products with different formulas, so equal pack size does not mean they are interchangeable.
