Flaxseed and black castor oh yes!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one made me extra thrilled! Flaxseed and black castor are 2 ingredients that work so well for my hair and this did not miss!! The texture is nice and I appreciate being able to use it in a flexible way. It’s great for simple styling when you don’t need a stronghold. It doesn’t leave any traces of itself behind no flakes or anything like that.

SheaMoisture Strong Hold Jamaican Black Castor Oil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel is amazing if you need strong hold! The Jamaican Black Castor Oil formula really keeps my curls in place all day without flaking. It gives a firmer, more long-lasting definition compared to other SheaMoisture gels, and I appreciate how moisturizing it feels despite being a strong-hold product. My curls look bouncy, shiny, and super controlled. Great for humidity and thick curly hair types.

Smooth and doesn’t dry the hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Styling Gel is a strong-hold gel that holds edges in place exceptionally well, even for textured or natural hair. It effectively prevents frizz. To apply, use the appropriate amount on your hair. You can use a small brush or toothbrush, depending on your hair length. The gel leaves my edges sleek and smooth. It held my style throughout the day without causing flakes, which was a refreshing for a change. The gel is formulated with moisturizing and hair-friendly ingredients, such as nourishing oils and butters (like flaxseed, shea butter, coconut, and hibiscus), instead of heavy chemicals. I highly recommend using this gel, especially for coarser or drier curls and coils, as it helps maintain moisture and combat dryness.

Excellent hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When they say strong hold .. they mean it. This gel was great and the hold was as well. I used this when i really wanted my style to stick and stay for a few days. It gave me the strong hold without that crunchy hard feeling.

Love this product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have thick, coily hair like I do, this is definitely a product you’ll want to try. It provides excellent curl definition and keeps slick-back styles smooth and frizz-free all day. It also delivers moisture and strengthens your hair thanks to the castor oil and flaxseed in the formula, and it typically avoids flaking when used sparingly. It’s truly the best of both worlds: you get a great style while giving your hair the nourishment it needs.

If you want a good fixture, this is a good option.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel has surprised me a lot, I did not know that a gel could fix so much with this, I really like it a lot, it leaves the hair with a lot of shine and also leaves no residue, I have placed it more than 3 consecutive days and it really leaves my hair beautiful.

Styling gel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice gel from Shea Moisture. I love that they included the Jamaican castor oil which is great for the hair to keep it nourished and hydrated! So I feel good about putting it in my hair. The gel has a great hold and shine and I like to use it when my hair is damp, with to sleek it down or to scrunch and define my curls. Doesn’t leave those weird white flakes and a good value in my opinion. The jar it a pretty big size too, I was surprised. I do wish it was in a squeeze bottle or something instead because I don’t really like to stick my hands into a jar every time I use.

Moisturizer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] • I’d use a small amount (less is more) — especially if my hair is fine or prone to buildup. • I’d pair it with a moisturizing leave-in or light oil — so hair stays hydrated under the gel.

Good for curly hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this product is for 4c hair but it does smell good. It doesn’t dry out your hair or scalp. It’s lightweight and feels a bit watery. In my opinion this product is better for curly hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Jamaican Black Castor Oil styling gel surprised me in the best way. It gives a strong hold but still keeps my hair soft, moisturized, and flexible. No crunch, no flaking, and no dryness at all. What I love most is the subtle scent — it smells good without being overpowering. My shine stayed intact for days, and my hair looked smooth and defined the entire time. If you want a stronger hold while keeping your hair healthy and hydrated, this gel is perfect.

Edge gel is stronger, but this is pretty strong fo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does it have a stronghold? Yes. I have some pretty thick hair, but it still gets the job done. I will say, it's not as strong as the edge gel( that I've also reviewed) but it's better than a lot of the styling gels in the market... And if I would judge it by styling gels, it definitely takes the Cake!

Scent is not my fave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hold on this gel is decent however it did flake for me. The Jamaican black castor oil line hasn’t been my favorite due to the smell. It works for me I’m not sure if I can say it helps growth but it doesn’t dry my hair out and washes out easily. Would I add it to my long term? Probably not but that’s not to say it doesn’t work , the scent is just not my fave
