Best product for very thick hair hands down!
This is the only product that actually doesn’t shrink my curls! I have very thick hair and regardless of how much I use it never weighs it down. Love this!!!

The BEST!!!!!!!
I never leave reviews on products. But this….felt the need to! I actually were my curly hair straight all year long. July and August are super hot so my edges start to look some sort of way by day 3 or 4. I DON’T like edge control and couldn’t find any gel to hold my hair down in this heat and humidity. I spent 7 hours outside in 97 degrees and my hair held the entire time!! And I only had a few minutes to apply the gel and let it set before heading out into that weather! This gel is AMAZING!!!!! So for people who wear your hair straight, this will help you ALOT for getting a couple extra days out of straight hair (i wash and straighten it every week and my hair is still curly as ever lol)

Not good
This flakes in my daughters hair and die: not dissolve well in water or oil. It is was confusing trying to get the white clumps to go away when styling my child’s hair. Not a strong hold as well

Finally, no residue on my hair
I have used this product for almost two months and it is great! It doesn't leave my hair with any type of white residue or dry my hair out. My hair is also soft and twist styles last longer.

No flakes!
I love this gel! No flakes at all, not even one. I even apply the shea moisture mosse over it and it dries clear. Nice hold. A little crunch. My hair shrinks a little but not too bad. I prefer letting it air dry.

The most amazing gift
I was gifted these products by my incredible daughter because she knows me and my natural hair. My coils are incredible. I rock my beautiful fro, but my froze shrinks within the first three hours so she said mommy actually she said nothing. She just sent this to me in the mail so I used it on Sunday, 18 May Washed my hair with the shampoo, flaxseed shampoo and use the gel to style. She also got me a couple of the sponges for my hair and so I styled it up a little bit and I kept looking and running my fingers through following that directions and I looked in the mirror one last time and I said OK then it looks so healthy and bright and radiant my coils they were separatedand shaped and styled so that I didn’t have to do much work to it and it stayed all day until the evening. This is these are wonderful products. The other thing that I discovered was really awesome was as I follow directions to wash my hair and I simply did not scrub as the directions, but I just pull my hair apart pull the shampoo through and I had no tangles when I finish washing my hair and that is absolutely miraculous because my hair usually twist up within itself so I’m real pleased with the product products and I am probably a lifetime customer. Thank you.

I love Aunt Jackie's Curling Gel
I always use ECO Styler, but I was out. So I decided to try Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Don't Shrink Curling Gel and I love it. My hair was well defined and I had less shrinkage and the price is great.
