FAQ

Q. What is the difference between Re:coil and Definer?
A. Re:coil is a curl cream that adds separation and hold without stiffness or stickiness. It's perfect for achieving soft, defined curls for a broad range of curl types. It’s rich in the Curl Creating Complex, which helps to nourish and define your curls while keeping them soft.

If you air dry with Re:coil, your hair will likely be left with a slight cast that you can shake out. By diffusing, results will be more soft, bouncy, curls. Curl Fresh Definer activates your curls, adds definition, and leaves hair feeling smooth, nourished and shiny. A community favourite, it has been described by many as their one-and-done and can be applied to both damp and dry hair, as well as used again to refresh throughout the day.

Air dry or diffuse based on your preference. Curl Fresh Definer tends not to leave a cast but may have more hold/retention if left to air dry. Curl Fresh Definer is recommended for fine-medium hair textures.

Q. Will Re:coil weigh down my wavy hair?
A. Re:coil is recommended for most hair types. A little goes a long way! For finer waves, we might suggest taking a look at Curl Fresh Definer.

Q. Will using Re:coil leave a cast?
A. If you air dry with Re:coil, your hair will likely be left with a slight cast that you can shake out. By diffusing, results will be more soft, bouncy, curls.

Q. What makes AG formulas unique?
A. AG formulas are free of drying sulfates, are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. All our formulas meet or exceed leading “clean” ingredient programs. Great product, cleaner and kinder formulas.

Q&A

Does RE:COIL CURL ACTIVATOR still provide heat protection and if so, how much and does the heat protection still work if I apply gel over this cream?: Although our styling products have some heat protection, we recommend taking a look at Thermal Spray Gel, Deflect and Firewall for optimal thermal protection. Please reach out to customer support@ag.care if we can assist you further.
Is this product ok. for high porosity hair?: Great question - Yes, Re:coil is a cream base that hydrates, defines and encourages natural patterns. In addition it is silicone-free and all of our products are always without: drying sulfates, DEA, PABA, Parabens, DMDM, gluten and more.
I noticed the the AG recoil curl cream has changed formula. I have been using it for 12 years and am so disappointed! Is there any back stock of the old cream?: Hi Lisa, we are sorry to hear of your disappointment. Unfortunately we no longer have inventory of our old packaging in our warehouse. You might be able to find some at your local salons. We currently do not have a salon locator and are unable to see product inventory or salons who carry AG. If purchased on us.ag.care, please refer to our return policy. AG offers a 100% performance guarantee on all of our products. We'd love to hear more about your feedback. Please feel free to write us at customersupport@ag.care.
Does this product have heat protection for diffusing? Thanks!: Thank you for the great question! Re:coil has thermal protection up to 140 degrees Celsius / 284 degrees Fahrenheit.
I use to to use an AG wax years ago, Like around 20 years ago. It came in a tube…think and light purple in color. Does this product still exist?: Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, AG has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to the Waxx. For a similar result, we normally recommend INFRASTRUCTURE Structurizing Pomade as an alternative.
