Genuinely the worst downgrade i've seen in a product EVER. A lot of companies like to take products that are working exceptionally well and reformulate it and it almost always gets worse but this was exceptionally bad. The old gel gave me hold, definition, and a beautiful cast that scrunched out into soft ringlets. This one has NO CAST, no hold and no weather resistance. You'd be adding product just for the sake of adding product if you use this. Such a shame bc the old one was my go to above high end gels which I have too and I still reached for this far more. So disappointed, genuinely don't understand why brands do thus

It is no exaggeration to say that this gel is the worst I've ever used. I can put in as much as I want and the most I can possibly get from it is disgusting, sticky hair with somehow ZERO hold. It is better to use no gel at all than it is to use this one.

The old product was curl gel. This stuff is trash doing absolutely nothing for my curly hair but flattening when it's dry

Please bring back the old formula!! I used the old formula for years on my curly hair and it was the only affordable gel that works for me!! Unfortunately, the new formula doesn't work like the old one and I had to stop using it after many years! Please bring the old stuff back!!!

The old instant freeze formula was the first gel I used on my curly hair journey and it was the BEST hair gel I've ever used. It was the perfect balance of moisture and hold, and it didn't make my blonde hair look darker, which a lot of curly hair products do. It was part of my hair routine since 2018 it was that good! Since Aussie changed their formula for the gel, I only had to use it once to notice that the new formula was not as good. My hair was dryer, duller, and the gel had less hold. I don't recommend the new formula at all. Aussie, you had the perfect gel formula, please bring it back!

I have been using this for the past few weeks and have never got so many compliments on my curls - I am 66 years young! My curls look fabulous ( have to agree) and I would not change this for anything. Used Aussie when I was in my 20's and always loved it, however over the past few decades I have relied and SPENT more on different products. Who knew I would be coming back to Aussie and leaving this comment!!! Please do not stop making this product!!!

I have purchased several expensive curl gels and mousses in the past, but this one is the best by far! I have fine curly hair, and after I wash and condition it, I leave my hair soaking wet, then I scrunch just my hands in my hair to get rid of excess water, NO Towel!!. I appy about a tablespoom (my hair is to my chin) and work it through, then comb through with a wide tooth comb, then use my curl brush to brush through sections. I let it air dry or use a diffuser. Once it's dried completely, I run my hands through it gently to break up some of the curl. I'm left with soft ringlets. Love it!!

If you guys care at all about your customer base please bring back the old formula this one is horrible. as a loyal customer of yours i feel very badly about being forced to never purchase this gel again. I really think the old formulation was the best in the market, this one is horrible. I don't understand why everyone is saying change it and nothing is being done. Never purchasing again.

I have used Aussie since I was 17 . Shampoo and three minute miracle. I have used the instant freeze gel for almost as long. I've used some type of Aussie Gel for my hair and was a huge fan. Not a big fan of the new formula. Just not the same and my hair doesn't react the same to the new formula. Bring back the old formula. I don't mind paying a little more if it's that much better!!

This new formula is awful compared to the old. Old formula had jojoba oil and sea kelp. Beautiful shiny waves. New formula doesn't even compare. Please bring back the old formula! Please read all the reviews from many retailer sites begging you for the old formula back. The old formula was the affordable holy grail!
