Best gel I've ever tried
This is the best gel I have ever tried. Usually my 2b/2c waves are limp within a few hours of drying no matter what products I apply. With this new stronger hold gel, my waves have held for days with minimal refreshing required. I was concerned that with the stronger hold it would make my hair too c...

I thought it was all gels, but it's just glycerin
I heard hundreds of recommendations for this gel when I started embracing my natural 2B-3A medium porosity hair. I bought it without question, and even ordered a second bottle (the huge one, too) after the first ran out. I thought the dryness/straw texture my hair got after application was just par ...

Great product! Exactly as advertised
The bottle has a sleek design and the my hair feels and looks amazing after using it. I have noticed that my hair maintains its look and feel even after going outside.
I would buy this product again and again
Hair Type Wavy Hair
after using this product over the past few weeks and loving the results, it helps my hair keep in place it's not too strong and it comes off very easily in the shower. Doesn't leave any residue behind.

Humidity tested curls ✔️
Okay but the CURL definition 👏🏼 My daughter has naturally curly hair and she's super picky about what she uses because so many products either dry her curls out, make them crunchy, or leave them frizzy by the end of the day. This gel honestly surprised us. Her curls looked really defined, moisturized, and healthy without feeling stiff. The frizz control was probably the biggest difference we noticed right away, especially with humidity. The texture is lightweight, glides through the hair easily, and the squeeze bottle makes application way easier than scooping gel out of a tub. She also said it smells really good and loved that it soaked into her curls evenly instead of just sitting on top of the hair. Only little tip she mentioned: don't overapply near the roots because it can leave a little flakiness as it dries. Using less near the scalp fixed that. Overall, definitely one we would repurchase 🤍

It's a okay product
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The scent was okay but it smells like something I smelled before . The gold is decent and the application was easy to use and cover the area . My hair still feels frizzy but there was no clumping .

No more frizzies
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this stuff! It's a great pricefor a big bottle. I put a quarter sized amount in my hair. It is so smooth afterwards. Looks great! It has a mild scent. I recommend you try it if you have humidity.
