This review isn’t about the product. It’s about Target red circle saying it’s 5% discount when you use your red card but in reality it isn’t. I am waiting for an explanation as to why it isn’t.

Absolutely perfect
Red shirt pic is my usual hair, same style, black shirt pic is this gel. If that doesnt convince you to get it, idk what will!!! This changed my life!!! Creates a soft cast thats SUPER easy to scrunch out and doesnt leave my hair stringy like most gels ive tried. Its lightweight enough for my finer wavy long hair so as to not weigh it down. It also smells good but the smell isnt overwhelming. This photo is day 3 hair, i just sprayed it with some water and scrunched in the gel!!!! A lifesaver. Id take it with me to a desert island, id get buried with this gel.

Sickeningly STRONG fragrance
I couldn’t tell you if this gel is good or not, I literally used it once and the smell made me puke. I’m sensitive to fragrance but my wife isn’t and even she said it was horrible.

Just okay
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.

Good Product
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.

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.

Game Changer!
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.

Left Residue Behind
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.

Curly Swirly
First time trying this and I love it! Leaves my curls feeling great and not frizzy. Didn't leave my hair feeling heavy or greasy.
