Do I need to layer gel over a curl cream?

It depends! Most curls benefit from a moisturising base layer (like a leave-in or curl cream) underneath a gel to boost hydration. For thick, thirsty curls opt for a cream, for finer, easily weighed down curls, opt for a defining/volumising lotion under your gel - Innersense I Create Volume is a top pick.
