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. I used it on damp hair, scrunching it through my curls and then ...

not for me
(3b/3c shoulder length fine hair.) It smells really good and has good hold/definition. However it left a residue feeling on my hair that made it feel SO dry. Hair oil couldn't even break the cast so parts of my hair felt sticky. It might work for someone else but definitely didn't work for me so I'...

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this product. I use a lot of hair products for my long/thick hair. My biggest problem is frizz and flyaways. This gel has a really nice scent to it. It smells good & makes my hair smell good as well. I really liked the consistency of this gel. It almost felt like a silicone primer upon first application. It is not as sticky as other gel products can be. It held my curls all night long. I really liked this product and would definitely purchase it.
I just loved!!

Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I really liked this gel. Its consistency is thick and viscous, which helps distribute the product evenly through my hair. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering. One thing I really appreciate is that it has no color. I don't like gels with color because when I wash my hair, the water often comes out with traces of that color, so having a clear gel is a big plus for me. My hair type is 3A curly, so I need a high-definition gel to properly define my curls, and this product definitely delivered. It gave me great definition and helped my curls look well-shaped and defined throughout the day. I used it both on freshly washed, damp hair and the next day for touch-ups. For the second-day application, I had to slightly dampen my hair before reapplying the gel due to its thick consistency. It does not leave flakes once the cast is broken, and my curls stayed defined all day long!! Overall, I really liked this product, and I would definitely buy it.

This gel will hold your hair down for days, it's not overly sticky and it also won't make your hair hard to the touch. It smells very good also.
