Gisou is known for its wash-day care and for the Honey Infused Hair Oil that started the brand, so the styling corner of the collection is easy to miss. It is also the part of the line that changes the look of a finished hairstyle the most: a smoother blow-dry, curls that hold their shape, less frizz on the second day. This guide looks at the three styling products Gisou sells — the Curling Tool, the Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream and the Honey Gloss Microfiber Hair Towel — as a small system, and it is honest about who each one suits.
Where the styling products sit in the Gisou line
The Honey Gloss shampoo, conditioner, mask and leave-in products do the foundational work: they cleanse, hydrate and leave hair in better condition for whatever comes next. Styling is the step after that, and it is where heat, friction and mechanical stress enter the picture. That is why these three products are worth considering together. The towel handles wet hair, the cream prepares hair for heat and hold, and the Curling Tool creates the shape. Each solves a different problem, and each is easiest to judge when it is used in that order. If you are new to the range, the collection overview is a more logical first stop than any single tool.
The Honey Gloss Microfiber Hair Towel: leave wet hair alone
Wet hair stretches and breaks more easily than dry hair, so the way you dry it shapes everything that follows. The Honey Gloss Microfiber Hair Towel is woven with a high-density, tight-knit construction that creates a softer surface than a standard terry towel. That surface absorbs excess moisture gently, helps speed up drying time and reduces the friction that contributes to frizz and breakage. Gisou also says the towel holds up to repeated washing without losing its performance over time.
In practice it is the least glamorous product of the three and the one most people notice first. Instead of rubbing, wrap your hair in the towel and let the fabric do the work for a few minutes, then comb through with a wide-tooth comb. If your hair is fine, fragile or tends to frizz at the crown, this is the sensible first purchase of the group.
The Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream: prep, protect, hold
The Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream is the product that earns its multitasking name. Gisou describes five benefits in a single step — heat protection, hydration, frizz control, glazed shine and flexible hold — and builds the formula on Mirsalehi Honey and hydrolyzed milk protein. It is a creamy, milk-textured cream meant to go on before blow-drying, curling or straightening, and it is designed to leave a smoother, glossier finish with style memory that lasts for days rather than hours.
The important word in that list is flexible. This is not a hard-hold gel or a setting spray; it is a cream for styles that should still move. Start with a pump or two, warm it between your palms and work it through the mid-lengths and ends, keeping it off the roots if your hair is fine. The 150ml size suits regular stylers, while the 50ml size is a low-commitment way to find out whether the texture works for your hair.
The Curling Tool: one barrel, ten settings
The Curling Tool is a 1-inch ceramic barrel with a digital screen and ten temperature settings, supplied with a pink silicone heat mat and housed in a paper pulp case. Its design is deliberately nostalgic, a nod to the honey-dripper motif of the brand, but the specification is simple: one barrel size, adjustable heat and a build intended for all hair types.
A 1-inch barrel is a middle-of-the-road size. On long hair it produces soft waves; on shorter lengths it produces more defined curls. How long you hold each section matters as much as the temperature, and the ten settings let you run lower heat on fine or fragile hair and higher on thick, resistant hair. The tool itself does not add heat protection, so the styling cream step comes first on hair that is prone to damage.
A three-step styling routine
Used together, the three products fall into an order you can repeat without thinking about it.
- Dry deliberately. After washing, wrap hair in the Honey Gloss Microfiber Hair Towel and leave it there while you apply body care or get dressed. Take it down when the hair is damp rather than dripping.
- Prep with the cream. Warm a small amount of the Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream between your palms, smooth it through the mid-lengths and ends, and comb to distribute it evenly. This is also the step that adds heat protection before a hot tool.
- Shape and finish. Section dry hair, wrap each section around the barrel and hold for a few seconds. Let each curl cool in your hand before releasing it, then break the curls up gently for a softer result.
Who each product suits
The three products are not a bundle, and there is no rule that says you need all of them. The table below is for working out which one answers the problem you actually have.
| If this sounds like you | Start with | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Wet hair takes hours to dry and frizz appears before styling | Honey Gloss Microfiber Hair Towel | Absorbs moisture with less friction than a terry towel |
| Styles fall flat or turn frizzy by the afternoon | Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream | Flexible hold, frizz control and shine in one step |
| Hair is straight and you want lasting curl | Curling Tool | Ceramic barrel and adjustable heat give repeatable sections |
| You already heat-style and worry about damage | Styling cream first, tool second | Prep and heat protection before any hot tool |
Product note. The Honey Gloss Microfiber Hair Towel and the Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream are the two products here that suit almost any hair type, which makes them the safer place to start. If curls are the goal rather than smoother drying and a more controlled blow-dry, add the Curling Tool once the first two steps are already part of your routine.
