Most Helpful Positive Review I've never been happier with my hair! I want to start off by saying I am extremely picky about my beauty products and I can almost always find a negative about any product…. I do not have a single negative to say about this product. I have fine very easily weighed down lightly wavy hair. I suspect I am a 2a-b but have not looked too much into the curly girl method to say for sure). I have never in my life found a product that does everything it claims to such perfection in my hair. When I saw this product and it said soft touchable curls without the crunch I kid you not I said "yeah right" but it was very affordable so I figured what the heck I'll give it a try. That is one of those decisions that are among some of the best I've ever made. It gives me natural soft looking defined waves, That actually are a little more curly than they would normally be on their own with other products. I get compliments from complete strangers about how beautiful my hair is (I've never gotten this) It doesn't weigh my hair down at all (A common problem with nearly all products I try) and actually gives me a little bit of volume at my roots. It dries soft yet defined. I noticed no flaking, or any other negatives anybody else mentioned in these reviews, and my hair looks fantastic all day long. I have shoulder blade length hair and pump three pumps into my hands and rub them together vigorously so it's thinner and all over my hands before I scrunch and crunch it through my hair… after I've done that I usually go in with another pumper to wherever I feel necessary. This is a right out of the shower towel dry, scrunch and crunch and go product with amazing results. I have never been as happy with my natural hair in my life as I am with this product in my hair! That is the gods honest truth, I was not compensated for this review nor did I receive this for free. I just love this product so much, I don't ever want to see it discontinued!
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 bought this when it was on sale when I ran out of my blueberry bliss hoping it would work okay, but it doesn't. So many flakes. I've used many different gels and never had much issue with flakes as long as I don't touch my hair too much after styling. This seems to flake up as soon as I put it on though. it's honestly ridiculous.
Great gel 5
Izzy from FL
It is hard to pump the product out of the bottle when it is half full. Otherwise, it is a great gel. The jail does exactly what it says on the bottle.
Love it 5

If you have curly hair get this gel ! 5
Rae with the curls from Fayetteville, NC
I used this on soaking wet hair and it came out awesome. Not crunchy or sticky just perfect ringlets.
Scared to try something else 5
Rae from Tinley Park, IL
Actually defines and holds my 4b curls ALL DAY. Smells fresh . Hair is still soft but defined and stays in place. I love it. My prayers have been answered thank you tgin
Would buy again 5
Dolly from Sicklerville
The product is amazing no build up. Can not get enough of my curls with this product.
Not for Me 2
wavezfordaze from OH
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.
Not Impressed 2
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.
Holy Grail Gel! 5
Jalea from Oklahoma City, OK
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.

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.
