I am OBSESSED with this gel!! I use it every time I style my hair, paired with the Curl Enhancing Smoothie by Shea Moisture. This gel is sticky and hardens nicely without giving stiffness to my hair. My curls last ALL day and through the night when properly taken care of. The gel is lightweight but buildable if needed. Also works super well when slicking back my hair or keeping strands in place. 10/10 will always use this gel.
Great for slick back ponytails /buns

This is a very very heavy gel. I usually use it when I wanna do a slick back bun or ponytail. Make sure you don’t use too much. It will hold well just make sure you pay attention to how much you use!
Defines my 3b hair

This has a nice strong hold, the scent is nice. Nice texture, pairs well with curl enhancing smoothie by Shea moisture. Leaves my hair looking shiny. No after residue, I really like how it defines my 3b hair. Definitely recommend.
A light consistency of a Gel but holds hair very well

Thus product is absolutely amazing and an essential when on your natural journey. It holds hair very well keeping what every style is place. The consistency is not thick but more watery to allow the hair strand to still breathe. The scent is okay, I will be honest. I do recommend this product for those who are questioning to purchase or trying it out.
GREAT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have curly hair and love to make sure that the products I use for my hair won’t damage my hair and also won’t make my hair look or feel weird after using a product or during, I can personally say that this formula is great really holds my curls and puts the frizz away! It also gives great definition to my curls and it’s easy to wash off after and leaving my curls healthy ! Also helps lay down my edges !
good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a light scent so it’s not overpowering at all. The texture is so thick and a little does go a long way. It didn’t leave my hair crunchy at all. This definitely tamed my wavy hair and got it structured. Definitely recommend!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to see I received a full size jar as a sample. My expectation was pretty high for this product since SheaMoisture has great products. The smell I wasn't the biggest fan of I rather have some type of fragrance when it comes to hair products. The product itself a little goes a long way, it's a thick gel so I was not sure how it would feel on my hair but once my hair dried it was fine. I did love that my hair wasn't as frizzy especially with all my new baby hairs coming in. I have straight hair but with layers my ends tend to be wavy but this product had my hair super straight. The only bad thing about this product that I've noticed is that it tend to dry my hair out.
Wanted to love this

After not getting the results I wanted I tried changing factors. I added more gel, plopped my hair before applying, and played around with sectioning. Unfortunately none of these strategies fought the frizz that occurred just one day after styling. I also found that the hold just wasn’t enough to keep my hair looking good.

This gel has amazing hold and really defined my 3c-4b curls and coils. But WHEN IT DRIED, white particles would fly whenever I shook my curls or touched my hair. It also took away ALL the shine and luster from my hair. I was sooo disappointed because I really wanted to like this gel due to it's hold and definition.

I have 3b/3c curly hair texture and I don't care for the gel. It always leaves a white residue, especially if I use on my edges. I love the Jamaican black line so this was unfortunate for the quality of the product.

Yes I does actually hold your natural hair. Makes hair strong and manageable. The sweet scent smells so delightful on your hair.
Great for dry 4a curly hair!!

I have been struggling to retain moisture while having my curls defined until I tried this gel!! Because I have 3c-4a curly hair, I NEED heavy creams and gels in my routine but my hair was looking dull, poofy and dry. This gel gave me so much shine and hold without being greasy or crunchy. It has a natural scent but it's not that strong. I did notice flaking when pairing with another gel (my mistake) but works wonders alone.
Awesome gel!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I thought the dark color of the gel would stain light colored hair but it doesn't. My boyfriend uses this and it keeps his hair in place all day. Unlike most hair gels this one does not smell like chemicals.
