WHAT IT IS
It’s a revolutionary strong hold styling gel that marries long-lasting definition with a lightweight, water-thin texture - helping keep frizz at bay even in the most extreme weather conditions.
WHO IS IT FOR
All types of curls, waves and coils. Because of its lightness it’s fantastic for fine hair - but it works on all textures and densities just by adjusting the quantity used.
HOW TO USE IT
Use on soaking wet hair. Divide your hair in sections to get a stronger hold. Rake it evenly through your curls, smooth down with your palms and scrunch to help curls spring up. Diffuse for best results.
WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU
The crunchier your hair becomes while it dries, the longer your definition and frizz control will last. But don’t worry, it’s just temporary: once the hair is fully dry, you can gently scrunch it to make it soft again.

HOW TO USE IT
Use on soaking wet hair and apply in sections for more defined curls
Rake the product through evenly, smooth with your palms, then scrunch to help curls spring into shape
Use a dryer with a diffuser attachment for the most definition and volume
If your hair gets crunchy while drying, don't worry, it's just temporary. It means your gel has locked your curls in place! Once the hair is fully dry, scrunch gently to break the cast and reveal soft, bouncy curls.

WHY WE CREATED TOOTILAB
CURLY HAIR, made SIMPLE
Hi! We're Gaia & Julio.
After almost a decade working in the curly hair industry, we were fed up of brands making curly hair more complicated than it needed to be - just to sell you more products.
So we went back to the basics: a simple routine, only active ingredients scientifically proven to work, and tested on real people of all curl types.
FAQs
How is it different from the All Weather Gel?
Think about our Styling Water as the All Weather Gel on steroids. It offers stronger hold, longer lasting definition and even better weather protection. This comes with a stronger crunchy cast though, so if you prefer a more flexible, natural-looking result, you may like our standard gel better.
Is it suitable for fine hair?
Absolutely! This weightless texture is PERFECT for fine strands - it doesn't weigh them down and it holds the bounce for longer.
Will it make my hair crunchy?
Yes, but that's what you need! Crunch is CRUCIAL for curl definition. It is what sets the curls in place and gives you a style that lasts multiple days. But don't worry, it's only temporary. Once your hair is fully dry, you just need to gently scrunch it to release the cast and reveal soft, bouncy curls.
Is it better on wet or damp hair?
We always recommend applying all your leave-in products on soaking wet hair. The water helps disperse them more evenly so you'll get a more consistent result without over-applying.
How much gel should I use?
It can depend on many variables - particularly your hair density and its length. We always recommend to start with a dime size per section, and add more as you go until you feel the hair a bit slimy.
Does it contain Sulfates, Silicones or Parabens?
No, this product doesn't contain any sulfates, silicones or parabens.
Is it Curly Girl Friendly?
Yes, all our products can be used if you follow the Curly Girl Method.
I have sensory overload, can I use it?
Of course! If slimy textures give you discomfort, there are a few tips to mitigate it.
- apply the product using gloves
- keep a robe on during application and until your hair is dry, so it never touches your back
- diffuse instead of air drying, so the sensation will disappear a lot quicker
I am happy to say that the styling water works very well for my hair. I am 47 and have searched the world over for an all in one product that keeps my curly coils in check all day. Repeat customer here!
Hi Michelle, thank you for sharing this! We’re so glad Styling Water keeps your curls in check all day, and we truly appreciate your repeat business. Here’s to many more great curl days!
I saw an influencer test this out and thought I would give it a try. OMG this is so good! I loved how this made my curls look and feel. I used this by itself without any other products and it works so well.
Hi Stacey, thanks so much for giving our Styling Water a try! We’re thrilled to hear you love how it makes your curls look and feel—even all on its own. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I love it! Curls are defined. After diffusing and scrunching out the cast, curls are soft to touch. Lasts for days. Less frizz.
Hi Caren, thanks so much for sharing! We’re so glad Styling Water gives you defined, soft curls with less frizz that last for days. Enjoy!
For my fine thick curls I love that it is easier to apply and it coats my hair easier than thicker gels. When using it on its own I didn’t get a cast on first try. Second try, paired with mousse had a slight cast. Third try, I used less water in my hair and that helped! I was able to get 3 solid days out of this but still need to use other products to help with hold and longevity. I love the scent!
Hi Hannah, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad the Styling Water is easy to apply to your fine, thick curls and that you love the scent. Great tip about using less water to get a slight cast—and we’re happy you got three solid days of wear. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback!
One of my new favorite gels. The hold is great and it looks very shiny. If you can, would love to pick up a jumbo size of this if it's ever made available!
Hi Jenifer, thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re glad you’re loving Styling Water’s great hold and shine. We’ll pass along your request for a jumbo size!
Having tried numerous hair products over the course of my life, trying to tame my frizz and curls, this has been my favorite gel! It is the only product I’ve actually been able to achieve “one and done” hair. I ordered it after the summer season, so I’ll have to see how it holds up to the extreme humidity of the south next summer, but I have no doubt it’ll do great. I’m super pleased with this gel so far!
Hi Kate, thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled Styling Water has given you that “one and done” hair you’ve been looking for. We hope it keeps your curls and frizz happy through the southern humidity next summer, too!
It lasted 2 days. My Innersence last a week
Hi Beverly, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the Styling Water lasted only two days for you, especially compared with your Innersense. We appreciate you letting us know and will share your experience with our team.
I was a bit doubtful that a gel with such a thin consistency could work for my thick curly 3B, 3C hair. But it gave me a solid (but not too hard) cast and I have defined hair for a full week!
Hi Tracey, we’re so glad Styling Water surprised you! It’s wonderful to hear it gave your curls a defined, comfortable cast that lasted all week. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I have boxes of curly hair products trying to find the ONE and i found you! Love at first use! Subscribed ! Now what to do with the boxes! ? Seriously fabulous product
Sue, this absolutely made our day! We’re so happy Styling Water was love at first use and that you’ve subscribed. Looks like those boxes may be ready to pass on to another curly-haired friend! Thank you for the wonderful support.
This is such a beautifully light gel and make your hair feel weightless, yet still shiney with great hold. I actually prefer this product on day 2 and 3 in my own hair, it refeshes with a bit of water like a DREAM
Hi Amy, we're thrilled to hear you love the Styling Water and how it works for your hair! Thanks for sharing your experience and for being such a happy customer. Enjoy your dreamy hair days!
I was already using the all weather styling gel which does exactly what you would expect, I saw the soft leave-in cream and the styling water so wanted to give them a try. They did not disappoint! The cream is wonderful - literally a pea-sized amount smoothed through wet hair to give the perfect amount of slip without the poofy flop I sometimes get with curl creams. Followed up with the styling water which gave me beautiful curl clumps. A decent cast (not too hard it won’t scrunch out but hard enough to give definition) that was easy to scrunch out leaving me with soft, shiny curls. The best thing for me is that it lasted at least 4 days between washes - refresh with water and a teeny amount of styling water, emulsified well and applied to the fluffy bits and I was good to go! I was dreading the dampness of a UK autumn in the north east but Tootilab has saved the day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Jo, we're so thrilled to hear you love the Styling Water and how it works so beautifully for your curls! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being such a wonderful customer. We're glad Tootilab could brighten your autumn days!
So many compliments on my curls and with every one i say, "it's Tootilab!"
With WFH during the pandemic I tried every sample of every product I'd ever collected. Since I was at home it didn't really matter what my hair looked like or how long the curls lasted. Then I found Tootilab and I haven't looked back. Back in the office now, I gave travel bottles to three curly coworkers to try. They're all raving too! So simple, such good results that last days.
Hi Selena, we're thrilled to hear how much you love the Styling Water and how it’s transforming your curls! Thank you for sharing your experience and spreading the word among your coworkers. We appreciate your support and enjoy seeing your beautiful curls!
I loved the all weather Gel so I had to try the styling water and it did not disappoint. It is amazing. My fine curly hair loves it. My curls last for days on end without having to refresh. Such an amazing product. I highly recommend!
Hi Tracey, we're thrilled to hear you love the Styling Water and that it keeps your curls looking great for days! Thanks so much for the high recommendation. Enjoy your curls!
I have been using the All Weather Water for the last 3 wash days. I’m following the instructions from the videos and I only get a partial cast. I sleep in a pineapple and silk cap and wake up with straight pieces and frizz. I do defuse. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. I do like the curls I get initially. I do live by the Irish Sea in Ireland, where we get 4 seasons in a day. Please advise me. Sorry about the cat photo, I couldn’t delete it!
Hi Caoimhe, thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like the weather might be impacting your results, especially with the Irish Sea's climate. You might try a bit more product or adjusting your drying technique to enhance hold. Feel free to reach out with more details, and we'll do our best to help you achieve those beautiful curls!
I love how liquid the formula is, it's incredibly easy to apply and has very good slip. The only downside for me is that my hair is waist-length so it takes a LOT of product to get ideal results, but if I'm looking for days of good curl definition this is the gel to use.
Hi Kate, thank you for your lovely review! I'm glad you enjoy the ease of application and the hold it provides. We appreciate your feedback on the quantity needed for longer hair and hope it continues to serve you well for your curls. Thanks for choosing Tootilab!
I’ve been using this with the leave-in and am SO happy! My hair is soft, and bouncy with great hold! I kinda feel like I can stop shopping around, I have found my favorite!
Hi Heather! We're so happy to hear you're loving the Styling Water and that it's become your favorite. Thanks for sharing your experience!
