Most Helpful Positive Review Holy Grail Gel! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY GOD!
I was looking for a gel that was a bit more affordable than my DC Ultra Defining Gel. And this is it! I mainly pair this with a soft definition cream (Mielle Pom+Honey cream) but has high moisture to make up for lack of moisture in the gel. It's always my go to gel and I haven't found anything better.
Leave in , Cream then this gel.
Most Helpful Critical Review I like the results but it's so hard to use!! I have fine wavy hair and like the results I'm getting with this product in terms of hold without crunch; however, the consistency is like Jell-o which makes it nearly impossible to get out of the bottle: it clogs the pump dispenser and is too thick to come out of a squeeze top I tried on it. It doesn't even come out when you tip the bottle upside down! I'm reduced to using the pump dispenser as a "dipstick" to collect product on the "straw" that I then wipe onto my hands to put in my hair. It's incredibly frustrating.

I 2c/3a thick hair, and this just didn't do much for me. I'm still searching for products that bring out my wavy/curly hair and this seemed to weigh it down a lot while also leaving kind of a rough texture. I use the tgin shampoo and conditioner, which I love so much.
It alright with me 4
Tmarie from San Antonio, TX
I have a mixture of 3C-4B hair texture. At first, I attempted to use this gel as a wash n go and used it on top of another product, which created horrible flaking and no definition. So the other day I was in a rush and just threw on some oil by Talliah Waajid African healing oil after co-washing my hair. So I decided to just throw the rest of this gel on my hair to get rid of it. Boy was I glad I did, because I love the results. Enough hold and slight crunch I need to have staying power. The oil helps to soften the hair. Will repurchase.
Not for my hair 3
Jace the Ace from Hyattsville, MD
My type of hair curl pattern is type 3. I have loose curly/wavy hair. This product for some reason left my hair frizzy and like I didn't put anything in it even though I still moisturized and put in my oils that I do for my hair.
Not my type 2
Jaz from Florida
Returning this product. It made my hair feel dry after use and by the end of the day my hair was frizzy. Not to mention the packaging is ridiculously difficult to get the gel out of.
Don't waste your money on anything else 5
Jayinluv from Long Beach ca
I use the not your mothers line mixed with the Tgin line of products and it's the best thing ever for my hair. A little leave in conditioner spray from NYM and gel from tgin finished off with a beach wave spray from NYM leaves my hair in perfect spirals. People have legit asked me if I curled my hair with a curling iron. I tried cutting costs down on my hair products by trying all the garnier, cantu, miss jessies, shea moisture, carols daughter, and countless other brands. But these two line of products are not only in my budget but worked way better for me than devacurl
Maybe it should be squeeze instead of pump? 4
Evan from St. Louis
The pump trigger isn't the best but I LOVE this gel! Defines and clumps my curls really nicely. It worked well for me with their butter cream daily moisturizer and AGs fast food conditioner.
Do not like at all 2
Moe from Brooklyn
Tried for a wash n go and it was terrible. Clumps hair together and does not dry well. Looking for a styling gel go with Mielle Ginger one.
Works, is a bit sticky 4
Sarah from Seattle from Seattle, Wa
This definitely works on my permed hair. It does have a bit of fragrance, and is a tad sticky when scrunched into your hair. It feels a tiny bit heavier than the hair gel I was using before, but I think it works about the same. I do like the pump in the bottle.
Great Topper 5
simone from PA
I use this as my second gel after uncle funky's daughter curly magic when I do my wash and go's. It's a great topper; it doesn't flake and it really makes sure my curly magic sets without reactivating when my hair gets wet by accident. plus the combo is really long lasting; sometimes I have to wait two weeks to wash my hair, but I'll still have a bunch of defined curls and coils.

embracing curly hair from Beaufort SC
The pump is broken and the gel is ok, but there are cheaper products that are better. I want to return, but not worth paying to ship back.
Love it 😍 5
Caro from NY,NY
I love this gel. It makes my curls soft and no flakes ♥️
Best gel I've ever used 5
Kir from Pennsylvania
This is by far my favorite gel ever. I have very curly hair and have used tons of curl products from both drug store and salon brands (Ouidad, Devacurl, Redken etc) and usually end up using several different products to get the look I want; but since trying this gel I only need one! It's a somewhat sticky consistency but not in a bad way. And my curls don't get crunchy at all. This has become my favorite brand and the price point is very affordable so I'm stoked. Love every product of theirs I have tried so far.
Love it! 5
Berry from Arlington, Tx
This is one of the best gels I've used! I'm on my 2nd bottle and will continue to buy this gel. I also really like that it has a pump. The hold is good without the crunch. The smell is nice but not too strong and the formula isn't sticky like most gels. I definitely recommend trying this gel.
trouble with the pump 4
ev from st. louis
I love how my hair dried! It can be flakey depending on what its paired with.

Love this 5
Kinky Curly Girl from Durham, Nc
I use this over uncle funkys daughter gel because it has antihumectant properties. I love this combo - I get 7 days easy. I love that I get a good hold with this gel (when using the right amount) and I love that it has a pump. I wish that it came in larger sizes.
Won't be buying again 1
Sunny from Atlanta, ga
It says it's non flaky but let me tell you ! It's soooo flaky! Makes me look like I have intense dandruff . I don't even think that I've ever experienced this kind of flake on a regular gel. It holds so good for my texture hair but the flake is killing me. Especially after a wash day and have to see the flakes the next day. I want to like it but I'll pass .
Amazing for 3c curls 4
TX curly girl from Texas
I love this product. It doesn't have much hold but is perfect for a wash n go. Leaves my hair very moisturized. I had to use it a few times before I started to love it. Will repurchase every time it goes on sale.
Not much hold 2
Mios3 from CO
I wanted to love this as much as I love their super moisturizing leave in conditioner. However, it just didn't have the hold I need to keep my hair from frizzing as the day goes on. Won't be buying this again.
Not for me 3
Kln94 from Dallas
I really wanted to like this but unfortunately, it does not my hair look good. It didn't give me any definition and it left my hair a frizzy mess.
Drying hair gel 1
Dylan from Chicago
I have coarse loose curls that need moisture this barely defined them and gave them NO moisture or shine . Made my curls look like the Sahara desert.
Great for 3a/b Curls!! 5
Kathryn from Chicago, IL
I used to use the Deva Curl gel, but was needing something with slightly more hold, but still without making my hair sticky or crunchy and this did the trick. It is lightweight, so you won't get a stiff hold, but I find it works well for my 3a/b curls. I also use this to refresh my hair on second or third days to add definition.
Frugal naturlista who loves her tgin 5
Bebe from Little Rock, AR
I'm a researcher. I don't waste my money on anything. I research, I ask friends, I read reviews, I watch videos. After reading the reviews on the curl bomb I decided to give it a try. I was so happy I did. My curls lasted for hours and smelled amazing.
Curls & Kinks 5
Christine from Texas
Let me start by saying I have 4D hair. I don't even know if that's a real number but my hair is kinkier than tons of 4c people I've seen. My curls don't last workouts, work, swimming shoot walking to the corner store without turning into a shrunken up mess! I have never found a product that works as well for my curls as the curl bomb. My hair stays moisturized and my curl definition has outlasted things I can't even mention on this board. If you have hair like mine and can never find something for you, try it! It will change your life.
