Overview
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Coil Sculpting Custard is formulated specifically for coily textures that need strong hold without sacrificing moisture. The thick, custard-like consistency is designed for defined twist-outs, braid-outs, and wash-and-go styles on type 4 hair. Honey provides humectant benefits while pomegranate adds antioxidant protection.
Key Ingredients Breakdown
- Pomegranate Extract - Rich in antioxidants that protect hair from environmental damage and support scalp health.
- Honey - A powerful humectant that draws moisture from the air and locks it into the hair shaft.
- Babassu Oil - Similar to coconut oil but lighter, providing conditioning without weight or buildup.
- Glycerin - Works with honey to maintain moisture balance throughout the day.
What We Love
- Designed for coils - Finally, a gel that understands type 4 needs
- Strong hold - Keeps styles intact for days
- Moisture-focused - Honey prevents the dryness of traditional gels
- Protein-free - Safe for all porosities
- Generous size - 454g tub is excellent value
- Budget-friendly - Quality at an accessible price
What Could Be Better
- Not for loose curls - Too heavy for waves
- Thick consistency - Can be tricky to distribute
- Humidity-sensitive - The honey may react in extreme humidity
- Hard cast - Requires thorough scrunching
How to Use
For Wash-and-Go
- Apply to soaking wet hair in small sections
- Use praying hands, then rake through
- Smooth any flyaways
- Scrunch gently to encourage clumping
- Diffuse or air dry completely
- Scrunch out the cast once fully dry
For Twist-Outs
- Section damp hair
- Apply custard generously to each section
- Two-strand twist
- Allow to dry completely (overnight is best)
- Unravel and separate
- Fluff at roots
Pro Tip
Add a bit of water to the custard in your hands before applying. This helps it spread more easily through thick hair.
The Verdict
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Coil Sculpting Custard is a budget gem for coily textures. It provides the strong hold type 4 hair demands while the honey keeps things moisturised. Not suitable for waves or looser curls, but for its intended audience, it’s excellent value.
