submitted by Posey123 - 3 years ago

    Good in and out of the shower for definition

    Doesn’t flake and works even with a conditioner or other leave in cream applied or mixed. Also works when mixed with a pomade to hold definition without stiffness, or to give definition even when you comb or derange your hair after applying it or just to get your hair to dry faster - I apply all the product in the shower after rinsing and sometimes I use the gel and a pomade/wax on top of the conditioner and rinse at the end in cold water the gel definition locks in and stays even after the rinse if you use a wax last.

    Love this gel. Has a soft hold and defines my multi curl pattern hair while leaving it feeling moisturized. Air dries nicely as does using a diffuser if in a hurry.

    It wasn’t for me. The application made my hair feel soaking wet and sticky. When it was completely dry my curls were crunchy. I believe it also left a white cast before it completely dried. I think it will be great on courser hair types. I finger coil with custards typically and that usually helps stretch my hair when it is dry and add more movement but my hair was stiff using this product. I also wasn’t a fan of the smell.

    Caused flaking. Guess it depends on your hair specifically. Mine didnt do well with this gel or the custard.
    1 reply from The Doux Team team - 1 month ago
    We are so sorry you didn't have a great experience with our product. When flaking occurs, it is usually caused from an excess of product. We recommend, trying to use less product. Also, please free to reach out to The Doux customer service for tips and advice.

    Flakes / 4c hair

    Natural girlie - 3 months ago
    originally posted on The Doux
    I tried this product one it’s own on freshly washed hair. And then I tried it again 1 week later with the foaming mousse. I really wanted to love it. It had a nice hold. But flaking was crazyyyy. I wear a black uniform daily and had white residue was all over me. Also I have 4c hair and the shrinkage was realllll it didn’t elongate my hair so I had to use perm rods if I wanted to have some definition even though I wanted to just do a wash and go.

    As a 4A-4B girly it defines my curls better than any product i’ve ever tried. I’ve never gotten more compliments on my curls. My hair is left soft and hydrated between wash days and even my day 7 hair still looks phenomenal.

    Not a fan, does not hold my hair in place or define well. I do not like the feeling of this gel as it’s too heavy and sticky.
    1 reply from The Doux Team team - 1 month ago
    Big Poppa has a heavier hold, but can be adjusted by using less product in wetter hair. You can also, reach out to customer service for tips and advise.

    I have 3c curly. These stuff is AMAZING. My curls have never been more defined. It’s still soft and it smells good! Day 3 hair is still impressive and separated. I use a silk pillowcase and bonnet but it does much better than other gels.

    Doesn’t Work on Super Tight Curls (4c/4z)

    1 out of 5 stars
    Kym - 4 months ago
    originally posted on The Doux
    I bought this about a month ago and tried it for the the first time today. This does not define 4c/4z (extremely tight) curls well and the shrinkage is real. I sat under the dryer and diffused. I tried to stretch it and lost a lot of the definition. Will not be using again.
