Our Knotorious Curl Defining Gel gives your curls the definition and hold they need—without leaving your hair hard, stiff, or crunchy. Designed to keep your style in place while allowing your curls to stay soft and touchable, this versatile gel delivers lasting definition with the flexibility textured hair needs.
Whether you’re defining your natural curl pattern for a wash-and-go, creating juicy, defined twists for a twist-out, or setting your hair for a beautifully defined braid-out, Knotorious Curl Defining Gel helps smooth, shape, and hold every curl, coil, and twist.
The formula glides easily through the hair, helping to reduce frizz, enhance definition, and give your style the hold it needs without sacrificing softness or movement. Once dry, curls feel defined and touchable—not coated or weighed down.
Perfect for: Wash-and-gos, twist-outs, braid-outs, finger coils, and other styles that need definition and hold.
For the Ultimate Definition: Apply to damp, moisturized hair in small sections. Smooth the gel through from root to ends, then define using your fingers, brush, twists, or braids. Allow hair to dry completely before separating or fluffing for longer-lasting definition.
After washing with Knotorious Detangling Shampoo, apply a generous amount of conditioner to hair, starting from the tips and working your way up to the roots. Let it sit for 3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal in moisture.
Our Knotorious Hydrating Conditioner isn’t just a conditioner - it’s intense hydration in every drop. Infused with Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil, and Honey Extract, it restores essential moisture, strengthens strands, and leaves curls soft, shiny, and manageable.
Smooth Curls.
Dry, tangled hair? Not anymore! Knotorious Hydrating Conditioner detangles, hydrates, and nourishes with Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, and Banana Extract. Each use leaves your curls silky, strong, and full of life.

I've only used it once so far but it has dramatically changed the convenience of wash day. Prior to this I was straining my back leaning over the sink while my daughter laid on the hard kitchen countertop trying to keep still while washing her hair. The comfort of the mat and the convenience of the entertainment bar have made the experience so much easier not just for me but also for my daughter. The only thing I did not love is that to ship to Canada I had to pay an extra 100$ in duty fees. It is highly possible that I could have found a cheaper/more geographically accessible option on Amazon or Temu or one of those places but I wanted to support a black female owned business so I think in the end it's worth it.

Hi Sarah! I appreciate you so much for supporting my business. So glad to hear the shampoo mat changed your washdays for better! I am so sorry you had to pay $100 in shipping/import fees, those do not go our business whatsoever. I completely understand your displeasure of having to do that. we will work on finding a solution for future customers. - Kia-Shun, founder of ShampooTime
Beads take forever for me. I put in the beads on the stick one at a time per braid. But i was able to prepare the design i wanted with the bead box and the beads 3 days ahead of time... and as soon as i was done braiding, the beads was up next... the beads went from the longest part to the fastest part. Her whole head was done in under 30 minutes instead of an hour thanks to the beadbox
I ordered two different boxes of beads and just a few days later I was contacted and they let me know they were unfortunately out of a color I ordered. She then offered a refund or for me to choose another color. I responded to her and within 20 minutes I got a response saying my order was at the post office! Amazing customer service! The beads are also amazing and they are so easy to use!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend the ShampooTime Wash Day Mat!
Wash day used to be the worst in our house! 😩 After seeing my sister use the ShampooTime Wash Day Mat, I decided to try it—and it was absolutely worth the price!
I have two girls, ages 1 and 4, and this mat has completely changed our wash days. They actually look forward to washing their hair because they get to lie comfortably on the mat. 🥰
I highly recommend the ShampooTime Wash Day Mat. It has made wash day so much easier and more enjoyable for our family! 💕🫧
10/10 recommend!
This item was awesome. It reminds me of back in the day when my grandmother used to put a blanket on the countertop and just lay us back in the kitchen sink and wash our hair who would’ve known that a beautiful woman of color would bring out a product for our children of the day. Thank you phenomenal product. Well made awesome.
I have 5 children between the ages of 6m-9 years old. This mat works for all of them! It has made hair day far less stressful and teary. Instead, everyone is happy and comfortable! We couldn’t recommend this product more for its quality, price, and functionality. Thank you so much, ShampooTime!
My little girl is 17 months with a head full of hair. Wash days used to break my heart with the way she'd cry and scream. She became terrified of getting her hair washed. This mat changed everything from the very first use. Not a tear has been shed while washing her hair since using this mat. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I bought this for my little granddaughter who is 2 1/2. She hates having her hair washed.. she wasn’t sure at first, but she loves watching the wiggles and Danny go while her mama washes her hair. It also helps that Nana is cheering her on every step of the way lol!
These bead wands have changed the game! I have two heads full of hair that I work hard to keep up with fresh styles. We are now in a bead phase. I can’t imagine how I would add beads without these wands.
I received the microfiber cape with my shampoo mat. It has been very helpful and useful while washing to keep clothes dry during the wash and catch drips from hair upon standing. My only complaint is the little snaps have tiny prongs that poke through the fabric and poke me when I try to open them sometimes.

Hi Chelsea,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This should not happen and sounds like a manufacturing error. Please send us an email support@loveshampootime.com so we can replace that for you!
Where have you been all of my life?! Love this product!
Shampoo time mat, tablet holder and bead boxes have made my 4 year old excited for wash day. We’ve tried other over the sink methods but this is the most comfortable for kids and their necks while distracting them with their electronics. Worth every penny!
I have used the shampoo mat deluxe 3 times now to wash my daughter’s hair (age 5). It has made things so much easier. She enjoys watching and relaxing while I work on washing her still head of hair. Washing with the mat has made things go much faster. I also love that the flexibility it provides. I can wash her hair without having to wash her whole body. Plus, it really makes it easy to do a deep condition and take a break from washing to use a heat cap for 20-30 minutes while we do something else and then come back to the mat to rinse and apply leave-in. So far, I am impressed and we are really enjoying having this tool as we wash hair more often this summer while swimming frequently.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so glad that ShampooTime has reinvented your washdays! Would love to see some pictures or videos if you have any!
I was skeptical of buying the beadbox not knowing how it could possibly be that easy. I bought it and 10/10 recommend for everyone. It made the beading process so much faster. And it’s reusable!!!! What an outstanding idea. I will definitely be buying more. Thank you so much!!!!

Love that the design was all done but the broader said it wasn’t as easy as it looked- she believed her way would’ve been faster as some beads stuck in the box and didn’t pull out as easily.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for letting us know that some of your beads were stuck in your box, that surely should not have been the case. Would love to send your braider another one for the trouble. Please send us an email and we will get that sent!
GAMECHANGER! My daughter is 6 I wish I would have bought the shampoo time mat years ago! Worth every penny!
I purchase this for my daughter while I am visiting, I washed her daughter's hair and she was uncomfortable and the towel I had under her neck got really wet.
Using the shampoo time mat to wash her hair was a game changer, no fuss no issues the material used was easy to wipe down afterwards.
I would definitely recommend this product to parents of toddlers, boys and girls.👌
My daughter loves it . She says she feels very comfortable and her neck didn't hurt during wash day. I love that the mat soaks up the excess water . It was very relaxing her for her .
My daughter hates water and she hates getting her hair wait. Hair days have been the worse I should have purchased this a long time ago. No crying, no spills. This is my new gift to those with kids. Love it!
Wash day is usually exhausting. We used the neck pillow for the first time & my god baby actually fell asleep during her wash. I'm very excited to try out the other items. We have the beadbox also that we'll be installing this weekend.
