Cabela™ Curl Styling Elixir – Protein-Infused Hold Gel

Cabela™ Curl Styling Elixir is a gel-based styler designed to provide structured hold, frizz control and fibre reinforcement while enhancing natural shine.

Proudly made in New Zealand and formulated in the Waikato district, this elixir is enriched with Hydrolyzed Rice Protein to support elasticity and help fortify each strand against mechanical stress.

Film-forming polymers create superior hold and cast formation, while humectants maintain moisture balance to prevent brittle crunch.

True to the Cabela philosophy, this formula includes a uniquely Aotearoa botanical blend, sustainably sourced through a Tangata Whenua–owned enterprise, featuring:
• Mamaku (Papamoa)
• Green Tea (Gordonton)
• Blackcurrant (Marlborough)
• Red Seaweed (Northland)

These plant actives contribute hydration, antioxidant support and gloss enhancement while honouring local sourcing.

This is a structured hold gel.
It provides definition, elasticity support and frizz resistance with a scrunchable cast finish.

BEST FOR:
• Defined, structured curl sets
• Frizz control in humid conditions
• Supporting fibre elasticity
• Medium to high density curls
• Hair that responds well to protein
• Long-lasting hold

DONNA’S PROFESSIONAL NOTES:
• This gel contains hydrolyzed rice protein. If your curls benefit from light protein reinforcement, this will enhance structure and bounce.
• Expect a cast. Allow hair to dry completely before scrunching out.
• Proper distribution is essential. Gels under-applied will not deliver consistent hold, and gels applied with too little water in the hair usually can't be crunched out easily.
• Layering over a moisturising base will balance firmness with flexibility.
• If your curls collapse easily or lack longevity, this type of styler restores structure.

KEY FEATURES:
• Gel-based styler
• Hydrolyzed rice protein support
• Superior hold
• Cast-forming definition
• Frizz control
• NZ-sourced botanical blend
• Vegan
• NZ made

DIRECTIONS:
Apply after your preferred leave-in or cream.
Distribute evenly through hair using your chosen styling method.
Scrunch to encourage curl formation.
Air dry or diffuse.
Once fully dry, scrunch out the cast to soften.
