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...

I thought it was all gels, but it's just glycerin
I heard hundreds of recommendations for this gel when I started embracing my natural 2B-3A medium porosity hair. I bought it without question, and even ordered a second bottle (the huge one, too) after the first ran out. I thought the dryness/straw texture my hair got after application was just par ...

Smells like bleach
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This feels like a soft gel. It's more liquid, so it spreads a lot better on damp hair. My daughters also tried it and disliked its chemical smell. To me, it smells like a clarifying shampoo with a whiff of bleach. After blow-drying, the hair was soft and manageable, smooth, and frizz-free. Though it's not major, there is a noticeable difference in the hair.


I would purchase this item
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My hair was definitely less frizzy than usual and i really feel like it doesn't cause greasiness to my hair in hot climate. My hair doesn't feel dried out and feels fuller with no scalp irritation.


This bottle will last forever
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Vey light weight get and a little really goes a long way. I really loved how this felt o. My hair. Drying time was good. A little crunchier than I'd prefer but the results held for days after. It doesn't have a strong scent and it kind of just melted into my hair.


Perfect for my frizzy hair!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really liked how this Ouidad Climate Control maintained my hair throughout a hot day at Six Flags. It left my hair feeling soft and gave it a wet-like feeling. Not too drying, but gives the perfect hold. Does not have a sticky feel to it and no harsh scent either. I have wavy hair with light curls that frizzes up when dry but after using this product, my hair didn't frizz up like it usually does. I loved the outcome of it! In my opinion, this gel is worth every penny and will definitely recommend it.

Hair Type Very Curly Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is the best gel out there for humidity & heat!! This is my day 4 hair and it still has some hold from day 1. It smells good and feels thick upon application but once it settles in the hair it's perfect. It leaves a bit of a cast but I just go over it with a lightweight oil and it turns out beautiful.
