    Loved it

    Very strong hold, I love it. If you’re not looking for a super strong hold, I would go with the sculpting gel.

    Not for me

    Forms a nice cast but it’s not worth it for my hair type. My hair felt gross even after scrunching out the crunch.

    One of the best haircare products I've ever bought myself

    Received no free promotional product and not paid for this reveiw. I have curly hair, and it gets really frizzy. I recently discovered this product line 'Not Your Mother's' and really love the way it makes my curls look. I've tried different versions of their shampoos, conditioners, and post-shower products. This one is my staple now because it holds the curl and prevents frizz. Sometimes I still experience a little frizz, but mostly if I take care of myself to allow myself a little time to do my hair, it has a great hold and doesn't collapse to frizz. I used to spend hundreds of dollars on changing the texture of my hair from curls to straight and that also gives a cool look, but I prefer my curls now. Less time-consuming, more affordable, a healthier approach to life with less chemicals and hair falling out, and it's just fun for me to embrace my natural curls. I like how Target sells the mini version of this (sculpting gel for curls) so you could probably put it in your handbag and keep that in case you need to. But I've seen success with this. I also love that they have a fragrance-free line too, because sometimes hair perfumes and scents tend to be strong. Love it, love it, & love it. Thanks, Not Your Mother's Curl Talk!

    Did not work for my hairtype and curls

    It clearly states “for all curl types”, but this does not work for my hairtype and curl type, at all. The hold is incredible, you can make Mohawks with this stuff! But my 2 a/b curls / fine hair combo is not great for this product. I used a very small amount, but my hair is stiff like I’ve never seen it before. Nope, nope, nope! But, coarse hair should work a lot better with this product.

    Only gel that has left a cast for me

    I’ve tried multiple gels so far, and this is the only one that has left a cast and gave my fine, loose waves any kind of holding power. It is very sticky and thick, so it’s good to emulsify it with some water before applying.

    Forms a perfect cast!

    The hold on this gel is amazing, it created a great cast without weighing down my fine hair and was not greasy or heavy when I scrunched out the cast. It even gave lasting shape and volume to my day 2 and 3 hair.

    I have mixed feelings about this gel. It definitely helped define my curls but it also made my hair so crunchy and hard. If you are looking for a softer curl I would try their curl cream and Aussie or Fructus. But, if you like the crunchy look, then you'll probably like it.
