Things to Remember: Cécred Strong Hold Gel sets quickly - work in small sections until gel gets tacky, which means your style is locked in.
- Start with clean, damp or dry hair.
- Dispense a pea-sized amount, rub between hands, and apply section by section evenly.
- Style as usual.
- To prevent reversion on textured hair, use a blow-dryer to set.

Strong Hold Without the Crunch, And Great Next-Day Hair!
I received this Strong Hold Gel for free in exchange for my honest review. I have naturally 2C/3A hair, and I've tried a lot of gels over the years, many either leave my hair crunchy, flaky, or too stiff. This one really surprised me.

Not quite high hold. But a long hold
I would not say that it has a high hold. The gel has a very good fragrant to it. It didn't leave my hands sticky after applying it. It gives a smooth look but not a tight hold.

I used this product for a wash and go and it's amazing. The shine, and the longevity is out of this world! I did receive this product in exchange for my honest and non bias review. This is something that I am adding to my normal hair routine.

Great for an updo and keeping flyaways in place. This stuff is thick and lasts a long time. It washed out cleanly. It was to thick to offer any kind of lift to my hair. Would use again for sleek updos

I received this Strong Hold Gel for free in exchange for my honest review. I have naturally 2C/3A hair, and I've tried a lot of gels over the years, many either leave my hair crunchy, flaky, or too stiff. This one really surprised me. I used it on damp hair, scrunching it through my curls and then diffusing. It created a strong cast at first, but once I scrunched it out, my curls were defined, soft, and had great hold without feeling hard. I also tried it for a sleek blowout style to smooth flyaways, and it held everything in place without looking greasy. What really impressed me was how my hair looked the next day. It honestly looked freshly done and my curls still had definition, volume, and minimal frizz without needing much refreshing. Compared to other strong hold gels I've used, this one feels lighter and doesn't leave buildup. I didn't notice flaking, even on day two. The hold lasted throughout the day, even in humidity. The only small downside is that you do need to use the right amount: too much can feel slightly heavy, but once you find your balance, it works beautifully. I would definitely buy this again and would recommend it to friends and family, especially anyone with wavy or curly hair looking for strong hold without stiffness.
Great Gel for 4C hair!.

Thus unknown brand sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. I was very excited to receive this product. I have 4C curly hair that frizzes easily. Although this does not provide the strongest hold, it does provided some support for frizz. The gel is odorless and light weight. Overall, I would recommend this gel if you're looking to do your edges or need moderate support for frizz.
