Q: I have course, straight hair cut short in a thinned banged pixie cut. Will this product scrunch well in my blown dry hair? I'm trying to finish the ends and layers with some definition.

A: Hello, while this product is intended to define and smooth hair while taming frizz and flyaways for a healthy look, hair is highly individualized and we cannot speak to individual effectiveness. Thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I immediately loved the fragrance of this product, unfortunately I don't have curly hair but my best friend does. I had her tried this product and she LOVED IT! She loved the smell as well but she loved even more that it has natural ingredients especially that's it's non alcohol based. It didn't weigh her hair down or leave her hair feeling sticky, defined her curls beautifully.

The label says it does not contain alcohol, however it has ethanol which is alcohol and it does dry the hair out.

I have 4a-4b hair and so does my grandma. Both of us experienced heavy flaking with this product after about 2 days of having it. If you put water in your hair it goes away, until the water dries out and the flakes come back. Whether i mix the product with other products or use it by itself, it will continue to flake and i hate it. It makes it look like i haven't washed my hair in months when in actuality i wash it every week. And i know it's this specific product because after not using it, my hair looks just fine. $10 down the drain If i could give this 0 stars i would. It tricks you, it makes your hair look super nice the first two days, and then flakes really bad after that.

Bella rose - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Decided to give it a try when my usual product wasn’t in stock and I regret it. Figured for the price it wasn’t a bad substitute for my kinky curly custard. Initially after styling I liked the result as I didn’t have a crunch after diffusing and it looked smooth and bouncy. It took less than 6 hours for my hair to fall flat and become EXTREMELY frizzy. My curls also twisted together in a way I’ve never seen before, becoming big chunks all tangled up. I normally only need to “refresh” my style after 3-4 days depending on weather, even trying to add a little product day 2 changed nothing with this. My hair became so tangled by day 2, as if it was day 5/6 and ready for a wash again. Dried out my hair a ton which made the tangles so much worse. Extremely disappointed. Won’t be exploring this brand further if they can’t get a gel right

Phenomenal consistency that *actually* provides flexible, soft, non-sticky, frizz free curl definition?!?! I could tell it was different from first touch: it's actually bouncy. I applied on 3rd day hair after wetting it (nothing in it except the "smoothie" in this formula/scent family which I don't like at all) and my curls came back to life, but BETTER. Super worth it.
I love it

I have been in the market for so long try to find the perfect defining gel. I almost don't purchase because of all the bad reviews but after I try it on my own hair I love how it works. There is a lot of reviews that it says that it flake but it has done it to me. First I apply the curl enhancing smoothie and right after I apply the defining styling gel if I have time I will use the diffuser otherwise I will just let it air dry. For the next day I wet a little my hair, brush, and just apply a small amount of the gel where I need it the most.

This is a fantastic gel for my hair. It has great hold without being drying and it leaves my hair very bouncy even after air drying. The smell is 10/10- so nice! I will most likely repurchase and definitely recommend!
