How To Use

Things to Remember: Cécred Strong Hold Gel sets quickly - work in small sections until gel gets tacky, which means your style is locked in.

  1. Start with clean, damp or dry hair.
  2. Dispense a pea-sized amount, rub between hands, and apply section by section evenly.
  3. Style as usual.
  4. To prevent reversion on textured hair, use a blow-dryer to set.

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 ...

(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'...
