This gel made my curls look so good and defined. BUT….. the residue this gel left on my hair was awful. It made my hair feel dry and tangled. It leaves an apparent waxy residue and I could feel it on my fingers when I ran them through my hair. And I gave this gel a chance! I used it for 3 months now and tried it with different products and amounts of gel. it’s just not worth the good curls for days of nasty feeling hair.

I tried to like this but it dried out my hair. My hair LOOKED nice but it didn’t feel nice. And then when I went to refresh the next day my hair was pretty tangled cause it was dry as heck. If your hair likes protein then this would probably be good, but if you’re protein sensitive I wouldn’t recommend this gel.

I originally thought it was regular hair gel (doesn't work) but when I used it for my curls it just left it crusty and didn't stay at all -super frizzy.

Licensed hair stylist here, and I adore this gel .I don't find it flakes or is heavy at all . Helps maintain frizz and for the price you can't beat it . If your hair feels dry or flakes, maybe try a leave in conditioner spray before you apply the gel (:

i’m not sure if i’m not using enough or what the situation is but this product doesn’t provide much definition or frizz control. it’s a good price but not particularly effective. i don’t care for the scent either.

Bought this traveling because I needed some curl gel but didn’t want to pay an arm in case tsa throws it out. I used A LOT. Probably 4 T on my wavy hair. This has almost no hold and I have my curl technique down to a science. No crunch or anything. Would never use or buy again

This smells like straight alcohol. It was also extremely drying and left my wavy hair feeling like straw - this also did nothing to help tame my frizz. I won’t be using this again, unfortunately.

Omg. I use this on wet hair to lock in my waves/curls. Not only does it smell amazing but it sets my hair perfectly. It leaves a nice cast that I scrunch out with a lightweight oil. I can’t buy any other gel because I love this (whole hair line) so much!
