Tried this after my friend recommended - replaced Uncle Funkys with this and I was very impressed! The gel isn’t too sticky but still creates a great hold and works well with my other products (Mousse Def, Innersense I Create Hold, and Biosilk Serum). My only mild complaint is the smell. It’s a strong watermelon scent but overall blends well after drying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ehhh. Of the 2 items that I received from this brand, I prefer this one. Nice ,clean scent . Fun packaging. I tried using this as an edge control but unfortunately that was a fail. I like the lightweight nature but sadly I just don’t think this product is for me

I don’t even know what this witchcraft is or what exactly it does but my curls are perfect when I use it. It smells heavenly and slips right over every strand. I add a few pumps of Mousse Def and my hair is fresh and bouncy and moisturized for days with zero frizz but zero flaking, buildup, or heaviness. I have worked my way through every curly product in the world but this magic duo is flawless. Never stop making this please!

a very slippery gel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the gel is very slipper and great for a wash and go! i would, however, not recommend it for stretched styles (braid outs, twist outs) esp if it very humid outside. i got a solid 3-4 days out of my wash and go and i'm sure it would've lasted longer if it were not so humid as this gel is full of humectants and felt really sticky with too much moisture in the air. and because it is so slippery, with a gel like this less is more. i'll probably use it again when the air is more dry and moderate.

Drying

Targé Layday - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
My hair and my daughter’s hair did not like this. My hair was left feeling very dry. The smell was not my favorite either. The mousse and curl refreshing leave-in are a keep. You get a lot of gel for the price and it has great slip. After air drying my hair, I was afraid it would cause breakage.

We are so sorry that your hair was left feeling dry. We would recommend using a little product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A nice fragrance with the moisture to boot makes a good starter for forming voluptuous curls. The gel is a bit gooey, but otherwise a starter piece for any hair routine.

808 Base Gel is amazing! I’m an influencer, but I was not paid to write this. I purchased it after discovering the founder demonstrating it on Instagram. I have at least 4 types of hair on my head 😆 from 3A to 4A and it even stretches and controls my non-porous 4A hair, and my 19 year old son’s 4C hair as well. When I tried it on his hair he literally said “Wow that’s amazing!” Plus it smells incredible! After I apply it, I add Mousse Def next. I’ve tried everything and nothing works as well as these two products. Period. Pleeeease don’t ever stop making this dynamic duo! ❤️

I’ve tried other popular base gels or step one gels before and I can say this one comes out on top. It has perfect slip and longevity just make sure to use lots of water

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's okay. It smells nice. Has nice slip to it. Paired with the mouse, it's worth trying. Provided a little curl definition. I think it could've done better on a looser texture.
