Perfect product
I have been using a hair jelly from another brand, and I love it, but it’s not cheap and I go through it very quickly. Been on the hunt for an alternative and somehow stumbled upon this gel (but I would classify it more as a jelly). Curlsbot has it ranked as good for both low and high porosity, and as a lightweight product. I have combo porosity, so it’s hard to find something that’s good for both without using two different products. My hair is 2C/3A/3B, high density, going gray, mixed porosity, and my curls tend to form very large clumps and get weighed down easily. I get wet frizz as well, so finding good products that don’t break the bank is a challenge. Idk what sorcery is in this gel (I suspect it’s the dextroxanthan gum and the acacia gum—both very hard to find ingredients and usually in super high end gels), but it WORKS. It has great slip, which for me is a non-negotiable, but it doesn’t feel like there’s much on my hair. Because of the latter I was skeptical, but as I started to pixie diffuse and felt the cast forming, I knew I’d found a winner. Great cast, but even upon SOTC, it leave a flexible cast behind, just like the jelly I use from the other company. This kind of hold is what’s best for my particular hair, and it tends to last for days! This gel has almost no scent, which is great bc I HATE strong scents. It’s just a fresh scent, almost mildly herbal and I mean very mildly. No phthalates and other nasties is the cherry on top, bc I really strive for using products that are as natural as possible. Idk how this gel is under $5, but I am 100% going to stock up. Please never stop making this and please don’t change the formula. It’s literally perfection!

Asthma/allergy attack
Had a severe asthma/allergy reaction when using for the 1st time (dime size) just breathing it in...needed to use rescue inhaler. Not sure what ingredient is the trigger. Strong fragrance too. I saw "Pure Clean" so thought might be skin/respiratory friendly. Nope. May just be my experience but be aware.

Hair loss with this product
I am a male using this product, have used it for a while now, but now, I see that it has a couple ingredients that will speed up the hair loss on my head and many ingredients that I cannot even read or pronounce. This product I will never buy again if you don’t make something to hold your hair and not lose it as well as I have been thinning since I have used it.

just what I wanted
just what I ordered. it was shipped and arrived padded with paper and 5he end was tapped to secure it a little extra. it was -30° so was afraid it would have been frozen. But they did ring the bell when it was delivered so I was able to grab it right away.

Not much hold
Doesn’t provide extra strong hold it states. I have to use other products to fix my hair.

Straight in the trash...
This might be good for slicked back hairstyles, not sure, that's not what I bought it for. But I absolutely cannot recommend this for a gel cast on curly hair. There was no crunch to scrunch out and it left my hair looking and feeling dirty.

Left my shir stidky, matted, and dirty feeling
Left my hair feeling sticky, matted and dirty feeling. I have fine straight hair and blow dry it with gel to add body. This the worst, and the only completely unacceptable, produce I have ever used. I have to rewash my hair after using it.

New formula is terrible
The new formula is terrible. It leaves the hair stuff and doesn’t have the hold as the older version
1 reply from LeCare team - 5 months ago
Hi there! We are sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the new formula! It sounds frustrating when a product you rely on changes and no longer meets your expectations, especially when it comes to something as important as hair feel and hold. "Stiff hair" and "lack of hold" are definitely not the results anyone wants from a hair product. Your feedback is valuable, as it helps companies understand how product changes impact their users.

It's OK
Not the best gel to slick your hair back, but for the price it’ll do for a moment definitely will not purchase this again

Miss the old formula :-(
Unfortunately, this is not it for me anymore. I used the old one for many years and it was my holy grail. I kept using this thinking it would work. Nope. On to the search for a new strong hold gel.

I keep coming back to this!
I’m always looking for a soft hold gel for my daughter to use for unruly hairs around her crown. Her hair is super thick and this keeps her hair tamed and not stiff. The consistency is a little loose compared to some of the stronger hold gels but I like that it has cleaner ingredients and it does the trick!

Hair gel
Just the right amount of hold. Hair feels soft, not sticky or rigid. No strong scent.
