    I have been looking for a product to use when I do the LOC method on my hair. And this is the first one to not dry out my hair! I only used a nickel size and I could have used maybe a quarter size, as when my hair dried, it didn't create a cast, which this is on me and not the product. My hair feels touchable and soft. I will come back and update when I can say how much is needed to create a cast. And list the other products I've used. I have thick, bleached type 2 hair.

    I only tried this gel once because it left a terrible residue on my hair after I finished my normal hair routine. Even after drying, a reside remained on my hair leaving it feeling gross and requiring me to wash my hands every time I touched my hair. There was that much residue. So gross.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a product designed with frizz control in mind, I was disappointed to find that it didn’t really help my frizz. It didn’t have a great hold for my curls either. I also use NYM curl defining shampoo and conditioner, and tried a few different ways to make this product work but will be going back to my high end gel.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice, lightweight gel that I’d recommend for kinky hair more for definition and curl than for a slick back kind of style. This gave a nice finish to my hair and didn’t make it feel too crunchy.

    Have tried a few gels and this is the one with just the right amount of hold (not too stiff, but lasts hours if applied properly). I use it daily for thin, curly hair and am very pleased with the results.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good for short-term hold, but after a day, it peeled off my hair like dried glue. Not hydrating and clumps over time. Great for a quick style, but not for lasting moisture or wear.

    This gel is super nice and affordable. I like how it's easy to spread and almost feels like a lotion rather than a gunky gel. Now this is coming from someone that likes fragrance in products, but wow. This gel smells waaaaaay too strong and concentrated.... It's not the greatest smell imo. I love smelling everything, but this is a very rare case where I almost can't stand the smell while im applying it and diffusing. I wish they would fix how it smells, because while I love it, I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it :( !!!! I would only recommend it if you're completely nose blind/ don't mind the strong smell lasting for a few hours.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a pretty good hair gel, I’d recommend it if you’re looking for one. I tried it on my natural hair and took the photos a few hours apart, I’d say they held up fairly well. Of course my hair changed a bit throughout the day, but there was no significant frizziness or mess that came with this gel in. I simply used my hair oil and this gel, and it seemed to work fairly well. It’s easy to apply, and doesn’t have any real scent. The ingredients seem pretty good, with no gluten, silicone, or alcohol. Also it’s cruelty free, which is always a plus. And it didn’t leave my hair feeling weird, sticky, or crunchy- nothing like that. It seems to be a fairly standard product, but if you’re looking for a new hair gel I’d definitely consider it.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I enjoy this gel. The hold is definitely on the lighter side (for reference, I have thick curls). I normally do a wash & go with gels, but since the hold wasn’t strong, I tried a twist out. It left my hair surprisingly soft and didn’t have a cast at all. The smell is fine and to me, doesn’t really linger as the days go on. It’s not too bad of a gel and would probably work great for those with looser curls.
