We have 5 curly Girls in the house but for some reason this was not their favorite. It was okay maybe a little too sticky.
A little crunchy, but good hold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the hold this gives, but it does get crunchy textured if you over-do it. There is not much of a scent, which is fine by me! Overall, I like this product and will continue to use.
Works Great

I absolutely love this stuff! However, it can be quite drying if applied alone.
Not good for low porosity.

I’m surprised people recommend this. It makes your hair feel greasy and it gives that “i haven’t showered” look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel is very easy to use and helps with my frizz. It keeps my curls defined and looking fresh for longer. The gel isn’t super sticky which I like and doesn’t weight down your hair. But it’s sticky enough so that your curls will stay and looking gorgeous!
Its okay

After I finish this, I will not repurchase. It was okay. Left my hair real crunchy and weighed down and I don't think I used a lot of product. I like the other products but will probably opt for a differnt brand of gel.

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.
Works but makes hair really dry

It works on my curls but it made my hair dry like straw. My hair looks like crispy noodles. I just wish it wasn’t so drying.
Great hair gel! Doesn’t feel crunchy
