Q: What does the fragrance smell like? Floral? Citrus? Coconut? Herbal? Something else? I’m very sensitive to scents and floral and coconut scented hair products give me migraines.

Hard hair and feels weighed down
Wanted to try something new. Not really a fan. Hair feels weighed down and cast didn’t break. Curls still feel hard and hair feels greasy. I’ll stick to Pattern.

Long Lasting Curls
Love, love, LOVE this strong gel. I am in the process of transitioning to my natural curls for the first time as an adult, and this gel is incredible. It keeps my curls looking fresh for almost a week, leaving them shiny and hydrated. I don’t mind the cast, so I apply oil on days 3-4.

Didn't like the feel
The finished curls had good hold and didn't feel too crunchy but my hair felt "dirty". None of the soft silky feel of my natural clean hair. Couldn't wait to wash it again.

I really like this product, and it does a good job at holding my curls all day, I would probably get the light hold one next time!

Not a fan
The gel didn’t do well for my hair. It was frizzy and undefined. I emailed the company about returning and it was out of my pocket to return the gel. Not worth it.

Not that strong of a hold
Maybe a user error, but this gel isn't as strong as I expected, there is really no cast, and that's what I expect from a strong hold gel.

It really doesn’t give my curls great hold it just makes it very tangly. I’ve tried different amounts and I’m really disappointed in how it works

Perfect crunch
This is a great strong hold gel! It’s going to make ur hair very crunchy but it’s perfect for a gel cast and then by the next day you can break it with oil and it’s not crunchy!

Great gel, but alcohol?
This gel is amazing for grit and hold but please make a version without alcohol! No matter how much leave in conditioner I pair with it, my hair becomes brittle and dry. It sucks because I have not been able to find anything that compares in hold, grit and lightness. Please make a new alcohol free formula!!

Strong Hold Gel
It did not give my hair a crunch! I hate when a gel makes my hair crunchy and this did the opposite! My curls stayed in place, but my hair was soft and fluffy!
