The Doux Bananas Xtreme Hold Hair Gel - 12 fl oz

I saw a curly hair influencer use this and was amazed at how defined her curls appeared as she raked it through. Also, seeing how strong the hold lasted for her made me give this a try and it was so worth it. My second time using it and I think I'm in love. My tight curls could never be captured on my front camera and now they can. I'm in awe that one product is able to provide me with great results as opposed to three. The scent is great and does not smell like bananas. The doux really did their big one!

I finally found a gel that works for my daughters’ curly hair! Doesn’t create any build up and helps their hair last through the school day.

What is there not to love?!? I haphazardly came across this gel because I had to restock my Da Doux gel. I was skeptical at first given the price tag. But let me tell you!! The definition and hold it gave was impressive! Don’t let the consistency fool you, it will ‘Doux’ what it said it will do! It gave great hold and the cast softened perfectly. Mind you, the curls held up in the GA heat so you know it was put to the test. Please follow the directions. It really works on soaking wet hair, so please do not skip this step or you’ll end up with less than desirable results. I will agree with the other reviews that the bottle is not the greatest when using the product.

Purchased in February, tried it a couple of times, liked it, but it is a very tight hold, so I didn’t use often. Then the Midwestern heat advisory months started and I tried it again. 5+ days in humidity that makes it feel 100+ degrees and my hair still has curl definition. I exercise and spent 5 hours outside at a park on day 3 and the curls still kept going! Good shine and expands over time. Wish it were in a tub for easy access but otherwise worth every penny!!

This product gave great slip and definition. I am not a fan of the smell but the product delivered for what I needed and what it states it does

I love the hold of this gel, for all my family, including my boys, who move around so much.

Leave alot of white stuff in hair and doesn't hold

An affordable way to do a wash and go! You don’t need 2 or 3 products, this does it all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this gel for a couple styles. One was a slick back pony, and the other to style my curls into a curly fro. Each style held well. When wearing the curls out, I found that I didn’t have to rewet my hair for several days! I love this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how moisturized and defined my curls have been using the gel. The consistency is like puréed bananas and it smells great! I was able to distribute the gel throughout my curls with ease. It’s a really great gel! Not sticky at all. My curls were defined as soon as I applied the gel. I recommend using a leave in with it I used the Fresh to Def. I definitely will be keeping this gel as a staple.

Bananas I love it was very generous giving me 8 day curls. It leaves a nice hold if you love a cast ( and I do). It did what it was to do. Bananas understood the assignment.

The Bananas Gel gave me everything I’ve been looking for—definition, volume, and shine! What really impressed me is how it held up. I got way more days out of my wash n’ go than usual, it lasted almost 10 days and still looked good. And the best part? It’s a one-product styler. No layering needed. This gel seriously changed the game for me!

I bought this gel on a whim a month ago. I’m so glad I did. This gel is what I was missing from my hair care routine. Once I set my hair, I don’t want a strand to move out of place afterwards. No matter what or how long, I want my hair to look the same as I last set it. Bananas makes that an easy reality for me. It glides so smoothly in my type 4 hair. It really does smell like bananas which is pleasant for me. Storing the bottle upside down like I saw on TikTok is a tip I’m super grateful for though. While I believe looser gels work well with pumps, this gel would take forever to come out of a pump. I haven’t experienced any flaking with this gel, a huuuuuge plus for this level of hold. I’m very happy with this gel.

The hold is amazing. Keeps curls defined and moisturized.

They weren’t lying when they said extreme hold! I tried this gel with a braid style I did and my braids stayed neat for a while! It left them hard so I don’t think I would use it for my wash n go’s because I personally like mine to get big and voluminous. I’m definitely going to try it on my slick back bun next!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for maximum hold, Bananas is most definitely for you! When I workout, I tend to sweat heavily in my hair, so I need something that will give me longevity and Bananas came through for me. I was able to get 5 days out of my wash and go with this product. It also provided lots of shine. My only complaint is if you want fullness, which I prefer, you won’t get that from bananas. Overall, I’ll keep it in my arsenal for sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy that I tried this gel. This is the most my hair has been defined. I will be purchasing again.

Love the hold that this gel provides without flaking! When my hair dries I know the curls are set!! The hold is out of this world

I purchased this Gel and let me tell you I have no regrets. I love using it for those days I rock my slick back bun ;). The hold is incredible and it last all day in the hot weather.

My curls definitely loved Bananas I got a solid 10 days that’s almost 2 weeks!!! I would say due to the consistency the bottle makes it hard to get the product out. Besides that I adore this gel!
