Honestly this wasn't my favorite

Honestly this wasn't my favorite and it's sad because this is what I was most looking forward to using. Typically curl gels are great in that they're light weight but because I have dense thick coils they typically don't define my curls well or give me the hold I need. Thus, choosing the strong hold...

THIS PRODUCT FLAKES

Submitted 6 months ago

By Betty

From Salt Lake City

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

Purchased and have used twice - both times the gel clumped and flaked on my freshly washed dark hair, my hair looked terrible. The hold is not that great either because the product does not stay in your hair and flakes out. Don't waste you $ - I returned this crappy overpriced gel.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

saying this product is good is an understatement. It works great for my 3A curls, slick backs, and I've found it's great for braids. I would definitely recommend this product!

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I have naturally curly hair and when it comes to styling, I never thought of using gels. I don't like to use hairspray too often because of the stiffness and stickiness. I do want something to keep my hair styled especially when the wind starts blowing in the fall. I was skeptical to try this since it says strong hold so I got a travel size to try. I'm glad I got it. One lesson I have learned about using gels is that you don't need a lot. I'm surprised my hair isn't dried out. I will use it in between washing my hair. Thank you.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I had high hopes for this gel, it flakes like crazy. It has a nice hold but the flaking is out of control. I did one side with my leave in and the other with just water and the result were the same. Very disappointing.
