Best gel I've ever tried
This is the best gel I have ever tried. Usually my 2b/2c waves are limp within a few hours of drying no matter what products I apply. With this new stronger hold gel, my waves have held for days with minimal refreshing required. I was concerned that with the stronger hold it would make my hair too c...

Not strong enough for high humidity areas
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was so hopeful for Ouidad's Advanced Climate Control Gel since I live in a very humid area and wanted to tame my frizz and keep my curls/waves defined. Applying was good because my hair didn't feel crunchy like it usually does when I use g...

Great on curls!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The packaging of this product makes it very easy to dispense. I like to squeeze a decent size amount to my palm, rub my hands together and disperse throughout my hair. It's not as sticky as I thought it would be. It does have a nice hold to it though. I applied, let it air dry, and in checking on my hair about 5 hours later, I noticed my curls looked intact and had a nice shine to them!
Not a very strong gel
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As seen by the two pictures,I don't think you would be able to tell which is the before or after.I think my curls look a little more defined but overall didn't do too much for frizz or humidity control.


Great curl gel for soft curls and reduced frizz
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This gel makes my hair look and feel so soft while keeping curls defined and frizz controlled. While it does feel sticky and greasy in my hands, it dries silky smooth in my hair for a natural, soft curl. It is a really good price for the quality of the product. The only thing I don't love about it is the smell—it smelled a bit strongly of chemicals to me in application but dried it is much more mild and pleasant. I air dry my hair and loved the result.


Strong hold, crunchy result
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This wasn't my favorite product, but does provide good hold. However it is does have a very hard cast that will need to be scrunched out if wanting a softer result. I did find it also leaves behind a white cast which can be frustrating and resulted in having to wash it out. May be better suited for slick backs.

It's okay
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I thought this product was okay, I have mostly wavy hair with a few random curly strands. I used it after the shower and my hair was still frizzy afterwards. It could be worse, but I wasn't necessarily stoked over the results; especially for the price but maybe it might work better for other hair types.
