20 Best Styling Gel For Gray Hair (Feb 2023 Update)

This is the best kind of eco this is to use. No other gel I’ve tried can compare to the krystal clear eco gel. It really slicks and styles my type 4c hair. Definitely meeting my expectations and I will be purchasing againorianna.g

This product works really well if you want a gel with a strong hold! Its affordable and best if you want to get rid of fly aways for a nice sleek look. All you have to do is apply the gel to damp hair, brush the fly aways (go over it a couple times if you have thick hair), and then wrap a satin scarf around your hair for a bit. After this is done your hair will be nicely laid. It also works well for a range of curly/kinky hair types from 3a-4c and more. The only critique that I have is that it doesn't shine as much and for certain hairstyles, I want a nice shiny sleek look. What I usually do to compromise this is I'd use this gel for my edges and then the eco styler gel in the black container for my whole head to get the shine, sometimes I combine the two.halima.k

for my type of hair i have 1b,2b type this works amazingly , ive done high buns, sleekbacks , ponytails with this gel a hard brush are amazing. i must say tho if you have it on all day your hair is gonna moldy dry but it stays in place. i love it sm , i love eco styler the brand is great for us black people or mixed people who have a hard time trying to do a hairstyle that requires it to last long. i have bought at least three bottles of this already. best for curly hair , styles: sleek backs, high buns, edges, ponytails. ❤️davi.h

This us my favorite hair gel. I use it for wash and go styles, edges or to tame flyaways. It gives a strong hold without leaving the hair hard, stiff or crunchy. I use the brown color because it seems to accentuate my dark brown hair, making it appear more vibrant. It even helps to camouflage my few strands of gray. This gel leaves my hair soft and shiny . You can find this anywhere haircare products are sold. I purchased mine from my local beauty supply store for under $3.00. I highly suggest giving it a try.karla.b

I am pretty brand loyal when it comes to my haircare, but every now and again if a product is amazing enough from another line , I will cheat on my usual and dip into the other line for that product. This is one of them The Moroccan Oil Treatment oil, which I feel is their most popular product that lead the way for this brand I think lol yes it is expensive, yes I get it cheaper because I am a liscenced professional lol but, when it comes to these higher end hair products , usually,you get what you pay for. It is worth the expensive price tag. There are some expensive hair products that I feel are not worth it and are way too overpriced for what they actually do and I am always very honest in my reviews on hair care because I live and breathe hair , its my profession, its what I love and I love to help people achieve hair they love, so if that means being honest and saying hey this product isnt worth it or its crap OR hey , this is not a brand I retail at work BUT Ive used it and I love it and recommend it even if u need to buy it elsewhere and I dont really achieve much for myself, what I want to achieve is to educate people on hair hair products and what works for them . So I am always honest when clients ask me about Moroccan oil.. that no we dont carry it but it is something I love and use everyday.it gives my hair amazing shine, it makes it feel soft and silky and just glides on over those little split ends like they are there, it helps tame frizz and flyaways and its a treatment that actually is beneficial to your hair. The bottle is on the small side but a little goes a LONG way unless you want to look like you stuck your hair in some grease than by all means lol but seriously a tiny bit, rub in your palms and rub jtno your hair , focusing on the ends and midshaft scalp will just make u oily I have naturally curly hair that is prone to dryness, it gets frizzy , its thick. I use the regular Moroccan oil treatment but there is also a light for those with finer hair , more oily , sleek type ,thinner hair that this regular one might be a little heavy for. I also apply this to dry hairz over my midshaft and ends when I feel they could use a little TLC . If theyre looking a little dry maybe just a little bit of this run through it and it will make your hair feel all soft and loveable again. I like the smell, it isnt anything strong or overpowering. This is the only hair product I do use from Moroccan oil, I am sure they do have other good products but at that price point and already being happy with my current hair care routine, Ive never felt the need to try them and I feel that this product here is their Holy Grail so to speak, like the 1 amazing stand out product where they are at the top of their game. Highly recommend itAnonymous

I really love using this stuff. I have for years. My original favorite was Chi Silk Infusions and I still like that stuff but I feel this does the job better. So basically youd use something like this for heat and uv protection as well as moisture and shine. Mostly I use it for getting some moisture back in my really parched, heat abused hair for a nice, healthy and naturally shiny look. Using products like that can go wrong really fast. You can cross the line into greasy mess from shiny tresses quick. You can do that with this too if you use too much but a lot of products do that no matter how little you use. This lasts forever because even with the thickest and driest hair needs only a dime size or less warmed between the palms and lightly rubbed through every layer from root to ends with finger tips open to get every strand focusing on the ends. Ive noticed that it gives me life back to my hair. It gives me that naturally healthy movement you just dont get with fried hair. With this and changing my hair habits I have come almost all the way back from totally broken hair to healthy hair thats a little dry and has split ends. And with my current issues it makes it look like I have none. Especially when I flat iron my hair with this as a heat protectant it almost seals the cuticle completely and keeps my hair looking super healthy until my next wash. I also use it randomly to add a touch of moisture back into my hair if its really dry. Or if my ends are getting bad between trims I use this and flat iron them to seal them and make them look healthy temporarily. It also smells amazing. I love the comforting and unique almost but not quite tropical scent. Its very unique and very feminine without being like a perfume. It makes my hair smell fresh and pretty and that scent lasts for a couple days. Overall it is a little expensive but it lasts a long time so it ends up costing almost the same as the drugstore over time because if does last so long. Its just more of an initial investment. A sephora employee told me this stuff actually is bad for your hair and dries it out but I dont think it would have gotten so famous if it wasnt so great for so many people. Maybe she just had a bad experience. It wouldnt have been the first time I had been given bad information by a Sephora employee but I just thought Id mention it. I totally recommend. But only buy from authorized retailers like salons or stores like sephora, macys, and other high end retailers or it will most likely be a fake.Anonymous

Lets just say, I love Morrocanoil and have for years the product has always been consistently the same until I tried the bottle from this seller.This does not smell or feel like MoroccanoilI love my normal Morrocanoil because its Lux, silky smooth and has a specific color and wonderful smell. This product was not any of those things it was tacky it stuck to my hands and didnt glide through my hair and made my hair feel rough. It had a nice smell but not the Moroccanoil scent.I still have some Moroccanoil from my last bottle and even the color is different.This new product is not good. Not sure if I just got an off bottle or what has happened.I read over the label and it said nothing about a new formula. All I can say is this is not the signature Morrocanoil and its not a good product. It feels like castoroil.I liked the price and thats why I ordered from this seller but next time I will just pay full price at the salon because I know what Im getting.It even wasnt in its signature box or had the same colored label so that makes me more curious.I couldnt find a way to contact the seller I went to the reorder page and the sellers name was different then this one. So I was not sure how to go about this and I have always refused to write negative reviews so this is a first for me.Anonymous

This is the best hair gel I've ever used. It doesn't flake or get crusty. The level of hold is just right. Nice and shiny. It's great, Vanicream is the best!Ken

Holds my fly away hair in place nicely. No smell which is what I need working outside with horses. Or inside around sensitive people especially in hospitals. It is what I have been looking for.Maria

I love Free & Clear products. This styling gel is just the right amount – not too little and not too much. It gives me the curl and body I want without the stiffness. And if you are chemically sensitive like I am, you will appreciate the lack of any odor whatsoever.Betty K.

I bought this a month or two ago, and I love this gel! Its so lightweight, but keeps my hair in place. The best thing about this is that its not sticky or tacky at all! You can apply loads as well and my hair wont become crunchy or dry, its so hydrating and smooth. Would definately recommend this to anyone who wants a environmentally friendly hair product 🙂vegpup

I bought this gel to style my curly hair with. I normally use the curly jelly by Umberto Giannini (which is my AMAZING also from Boots) but I wanted to try this out as I know a lot of American curly girls use this, and it's great that boots are stocking more US brands. Overall, I'd say this is an average gel. Not too expensive, and you get a large tub for the price and the ingredients are ok. CG friendly. It feels a bit sticky at first but that goes away quickly and it doesn't make the hair crunchy or dry. There are no flakey bits either, which is a problem I've encountered in the past. My biggest issue with this product is that it doesn't really give my curls enough definition. I ended up with soft waves rather than nicely defined curls. I applied the product to soaking wet hair, which is what I always do, and then scrunched and let my hair air dry for about 3 hours. I noticed that my hair dried very quickly and that the curls were very soft and voluminous but were lacking in their normal definition. This gel doesn't seem to provide enough of a 'cast' and therefore my curls seemed a bit lacking as a result. If you're looking for soft curls then this will probably be perfect for you but if you need a little more definition then this isn't the gel for you. It's not the worse gel I've ever used but it wasn't great either. I think I'll stick to my Umberto Giannini curl jelly instead. *Just wanted to add that on my 2nd day hair, my curls have pretty much all fallen out and now resemble very loose waves, almost straight! So this product definitely isn't right for me.curlycutie

I thought this purchase was very good value for money. The product gave my hair lots of shine whereas previously it lacked lustre. I wanted it to define, loosen and hold my curls and it is the most effective product that I have used for this (believe me I have tried so many). It is best applied when the hair is wet e.g. after washing. I was even able to freshen up the curls between washes by just wetting the hair, plaiting and leaving it in the plaits over night. Just wetting the hair seemed to activate the gel that I had initially applied after washing. You need to gauge how much gel to use by experimenting. Too much will make the hair too crispy and stringy and I don't recommend using it on dry hair at all.Ruby red

I have fine, oily hair and this conditioner is so lightweight. The scent is a light apple but not overpowering and I can't barely smell it after my hair is dry. The only thing I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to give my hair body. Although I'm not disappointed about that because mostly bought it knowing the formula would be lightweight. Regardless of how lightweight any conditioner is, my hair tends to hold onto any product so I don't use this everyday. I still recommend this.Zondagirl

My husband just bought this product probably a few days ago so my review will not be like 100% but I wanted to go ahead and go with mine and his thoughts on it so far. The price is decent in the size is good to have with you on the go. You can carry it in your vehicle with you and apply it whenever you need it. So that's a bonus. So far it works pretty good. He's happy with it so far. But I think he's going to want something a little different I don't think it's exactly what he wanted but it isn't really good gel that has a pretty good firm hold. I do notice the wet look also though, which I dont like too much.amber.g

I have been anxiously waiting for this conditioner to come back. When I called, I was told it was supply-chain issues on some of the botanical ingredients, but that the Spring Loaded Conditioner would return. In the meantime, I tried several new products, and, my curly hair was never as nice as when I used JPM's Spring Loaded Conditioner. I had written in the past that I wouldn't stray, but, the unavailability caused me to try, and, I am so glad the wait is over. My hair is back to looking lovely and soft and manageable and not frizzy. Thank you, thank you, for making this conditioner again, and all in the Spring Loaded line. I don't like to use anything else.Air

Hubby Bought this gel the smallest size at his barber shop but it was $20 he then got the other size which is 30 something oz for $28. We really like this gel since its 0 alcohol. It doesn't damage the hair either. It works for my son too compared to the Gorilla Gel. Glad I found it here for a wayy better price.dsoto1994

I love this hair gel for so many reasons, it smells wonderful, it holds my hair in place the entire day, it doesn’t leave my hair with those white flakes after a while like other brand, it’s a little bit expensive but it worth the price because it lasts couple of months! 100% recommended!jessie.c

Great holding and styling ability without the shinny look. Alcohol free so does not damaage your hair, Also not flakey when dry and a little bit goes a long way. Its the best styling gel I have used. This product can be used alone for a more messy look or with a dried look for great styling ability,.gastleyj

Great hair gel! I use it for my two girls. Easy to apply, smooth out, and fix if need be. Doesn’t get crunchy. Hair stays in place all day and looks nearly the same when I pick kids up from school. Pleasantly fresh fragrance and not overwhelming. And the low price is an extra bonus!E

I love this gel (I have type 4b hair). This give me the hold I need while not being too crunchy. It gives my hair shine and sleeks it down well. I usually use this gel or the ecostyler Krystal. The container says that it’s a level 10 hold but it feels more like a level 8 to me. I don’t mind though. It does not dry out hair. I would recommend giving this gel a try. If you have type 4c hair, it may not be ideal for a sleek ponytail. But it’s great for a wash n go. The price is okay as well.geena.c

The jacket looks lovely, and the quality is great. However I looked like a bag of spanner’s in it, it is very oversized and I probably could have sized down. Also the positioning of the pocket ms is terrible. I needed to reposition my arms to be able to put my hands in them. Such a shame as it’s a lovely looking jacketReviewed by Next customer

This is the new formula that should have the blue top. And they are charging as if it’s the old formula which is hard fine. So I just paid way more- thinking I was getting the old version and it’s really the new version that’s available for cheap everywhere! Attaching photos to show you how the “new formula” green and blue jars are same ingredients but huge price difference. Photo of the bottle is the old formula with original ingredients.KAILA

This is one of those hair gels that got you covered for long hours. In this day and age Us guys have become a little self conscious about our hair. I’ve used a few that don’t really last that long and I’ve got to admit my hair needs gel like this to be tamed; plus it smells great. It smells to me like 🍏 green apple and not like glue Lol. What seals the deal for me is the affordable price of this gel: $3.63 (tax included) depending on where you buy it. After all, all gels are supposed to have the exact same function; so need to go too fancy.I recommend this hair gel👌john.h

This gel is great for wash n gos, updos, and laying edges. My wash n gos come out super defined and I get big hair as my style gets old. Then I’ll use this gel to slick up my hair into a puff/bun. I’ve tried many edge controls and none of them last past 2 hours then my edges would start to curl up. But with this gel, I apply it and lay my edges, tie a satin scarf around them, set for 10 minutes, and I’m good to go for the whole day. Sometimes I can get 2 days of laid edges if I’m not working out and/or it’s not super hot out!Azlin R.

I love this stuff. It’s so amazing. Not on does it hydrate and define. It eliminates frizz as well. I recommend this product. I wish they keep it in stock more often bc it’s getting harder and harder to find. This product works well with the soufflé and coconut water. I recommend mend the whole line.OCTAVIA M.

I shampooed first and then conditioned my hair today with the Design Essentials almond and avocado sulfate free shampoo then conditioned with the almond and avocado moisturizing detangling conditioner. After shampooing and conditioning, I applied the curl defining gel. I love the shampoo, the conditioner and the curl defining gel. I will purchase these products again. I love the smell of the shampoo which gives so much lather and the conditioner is great also. The curl defining gel enhances my curls and makes my hair so soft and well moisturized. I love your products. I love that they all have no bad chemicals in them. I have been a natural for 4 years!!HMorton

AMAZING HAIR GEL! It has amazing hold and smells delicious and a little goes a very very long way. Dries fast but you still have enough time to lay your hair in the position you want. However, i think if there was a big tub available to buy , that would be so so helpfulbenie.l

I have tried most hair products but this does do what it says its called miss selling you can not spike your hair with this item also it left my hair greasy. If your hair is flat all good otherwise if you want to style your hair how you want get gummy wax it will never let you downpart1958

I've been searching for years for a gel that keeps my middle aged head of hair looking full without that cheap shiny look. Hairspray just didn't have the holding power and would get sticky during the day no matter what premium brand I tried. My barber in Florida recommended this to me and I'm hooked for life. I sure hope they never stop making this. Remember only one thing… use sparingly a little goes a long way.SteveB

Pretty cheap and works great and strong and takes hold well. I enjoy plus I have three little brothers so this product also works great in their hair. using warm water this product comes out well and doesn't take very long to rinse out. from my experience this product lasts long and using comb you can style it any way you desire. but when it dry's it looks like dandruff especially if you have black hair.angel.a

I have naturally curly hair. "Curly girls" know that gel is better than mousse any day. This is my favorite product to use for my hair. It's SO CHEAP I don't know if you could ever convince me that some expensive bottle of gel is going to do much better than this stuff, so I don't waste my money. Here's my routine. -Wash condition (make sure shampoo is sulfate free!) -Use tshirt to absorb excess water -Apply serum or argan oil to ends -Apply generous amount of gel eeeverywhere -Blow dry with DIFFUSER -Shake out curls to get rid of the "crunchy" feel And you're good to go for a couple days!kate.s

I've used this brand of styling gel for years. The newer products with higher numbers, don't seem to have better holding power than those with lower numbers. Perhaps they have changed the formula. #9 is rarely stocked in stores anymore. It works best on my fine hair which blows in the wind if I don't use it. You rub it into your hair after you shampoo while your hair is still wet. When your hair dries, the hair stays where you combed it until you run a comb or brush through it to take the stiffness out. It will last for about 2 days. It is water soluble and non-greasy. And it is also inexpensive. One bottle will last me more than a month. The squeezable bottle allows you to use every bit of it. I store it upside down to make dispensing easier.sumpngood

I have 2C to 3A hair, and typically in the winter it's a solid 2C, I lose curl. about 6 months ago I started a quest for a HG gel, after using mousse for literally 25 years (I'm 39). I wanted more hold. I was underwhelmed at all the deva gels – especially at the price point – I tried curl Smith, i also tried lower priced ones:Cantu, herbal essences, NYM Curl talk…. to name a few. and i either hated them, or found them mediocre at best. I had recently purchased a few more on my last ulta order, and came across this – and the gelee from biolage, and tried cocktailing them together, and WOW! I get amazing hold, a more uniform curl pattern, and a bit of body and shine after scrunching out the cast. Due to my schedule, i shower at night and sleep -carefully- on wet hair. the few pieces in the back, underside, of my hair that flatten I simply spray a bit of water on in the morning to SLIGHTLY dampen/reactivate the product, and give one scrunch, and they turn back into the same curls that I have everywhere else! I was really surprised at the bad reviews-at first- then upon reading them, understood. I wouldn't recommend this gel for "brushing thru straight hair" (or any gel probably), and it's medium in consistency, so you aren't going to get rock hard spiky glue like effects either. I'd imagine this is best for wavy/curly hair. the protein listed as one of the main ingredients is where you're going to get your definition from 🙂jenn1376

I see a lot of comments about it being runny, which has not been my experience in the 3 bottles I've purchased so far. it's always been your typical, medium/average consistency gel. I have fine to medium, mostly 3A curls (with a random 2C section), that's somewhat low density. I also live in FL, where humidity is very high, so I need to strong hold gel that has little or no glycerin in it. The protein in this really helps hold curl and keep out humidity. After using a small amount of curl cream, I then use biolage gelee. After that's scrunched in well, I take a small amount of this firm style gel and sort of glaze it over all the curls, being sure the ends are coated. Sometimes I scrunch again, very lightly, after applying this, but sometimes I glaze it over my hair and then leave alone, depending on my curls mood that particular day. lasting hold that "locks in" all the hard work I put into getting my curls to cooperate with me – about to order bottle # 4!jenn 1376

I'm in the military so I have to use product to keep my hair slicked back. I bought this product for the first time after wanting to switch from cheaper products like Tresemme because it would often start flaking. I thought a more expensive product would be better, but I was so wrong. The product is liquid and spills all over, especially if you don't close the lid all the way. It is not of gel consistency. The flakes are so much worse than any product I've ever tried. It dries and creates the tiniest flakes that are so hard to remove. I threw the bottle away before I could finish it.Sam

Not exactly sure the purpose for this hair routine. Not a gel nor conditioner. Leaving it on wet hair before dry or style, assuming it is like a protective cream. Hair smells amazing but other than that, after blow drying..the hair texture feels thickerAlqhyna

Makes your curls beautiful and shiny. Moisturiser is the thing you need for frizz free curls! I used this mixed with the a curl can dream gel and scrunched it in whilst my hair was still wet. Highly recommend the whole range!Kirstie

I am so happy that I decided to try this brand! I use this in combination with the moisturizing cream. As the instructions say, I apply the moisturizing cream and then go over my hair with the light hold gel. Once I'm out of the shower, I'll go over any missed spots and finger curl with a small about of the gel. A little goes a long way on the gel. I learned that the first day, as my hair had a little bit of crunch to it. Once I figured out the right amount to use, it was smooth sailing.Nadia

This. Stuff. Is. So. GOOD! I have fine, color treated, curly hair and I was finding gel like Deva Curl was drying my hair out. I tried Aveda, but it was not a strong enough hold, and if you used too much, you would end up with greasy hair. This stuff gives me a great gel cast, and once my hair is dry, I scrunch out the cast and my hair is so soft and bouncy. I highly recommend you give this a try if you have curly hair and you're looking for your hairstyle to last more then one day, and you'd like to avoid drying out your hair!captainsour

Love this! It has everything I want in a gel and it's a flexible product depending on what I want. For example, I can use a little to get a light hold or use more and get a cast. The cast is easy to leave in but also SUPER easy to break if I want my hair soft. It's the only gel I've found that keeps my curls intact overnight or after putting my hair up and down a few times during the day. It's a bit sticky on application but the stickiness doesn't last and it doesn't weight my hair down at all. So good, would recommend to anyonebananabread1

I've been using this product for almost 10 years. It is the only product on the market that works for my thick, naturally wavy hair that is frizz prone. I spritz the oil primer on my hair, focusing on the ends, after showering and then use the sculpting gel. I use clips to hold the areas that start to curl or redirect a rogue wave until the hair starts to set and is partially dry. I wait until my hair is totally dry before tousling with my fingers or combing. If I wake up the next day with a rogue wave or curl, I can wet down that section of hair and appy a teeny amount of gel, let it dry, and I'm ready to go. I wear my hair in a short pixie and find this product better to use when my hair is short.Dennie

was def excited to try a hair gel complimentary from DevaCurl for my honest opinion that claims to be not crunchy. I'm always very skeptical about products that claim to work hair miracles because I've experienced many let downs.. One difference about this is it says to work it in while curls are soaking wet. I still did get a little frizz but nothing like with what i usually use. I would purchase this and recommend it to other curly people. I did take one star for the frizz but would be curious to see how it holds up in an environment that's isn't as humid as whereI live.Laura

Yes! Her hair is fly-away frizzy with light curls like mine, and I think she'll appreciate this as I do. Even when I unthinkingly put a cheap gel on first one day (that I usually layer on when my hair is dried), it came out great with the 2 products piggybacked! And the effect lasts a few days between washings. I just need to fluff it up with a pic, even teasing parts a bit (I'm THAT old!) then smoothing over and applying hairspray. I did like the previous formulation better; I s'ppose the company got shamed into changing it (due to a TV documentary). But this is a great product for my fine hair.joyce

I used to use the Arc Angel gel and always liked it. I switched to Ouidad, which works great, but if I leave Ouidad on my hair for too many days without washing it, my scalp gets itchy. I saw Deva had changed the formula so I gave it a try. The gel has a nice thick consistency and you don't need a lot, which is great, however, you don't get nearly the definition and shine you used to get with Arc Angel. At the end of the day my hair is frizzy, the next day it's really a mess. I'm going to go back to Ouidad and just try a different formula. If you were a fan of Arc Angel, prepare to be disappointed.Mary

I usually use drybar jump start as my blow dry serum to cut down on dry time. Unfortunately, it was too dehydrating for the winter and left my hair feeling like straw. I found great reviews about this Kenra product online and I'm so glad. It cured my dry hair and gave me great volume. My hair looks like a professional blowout and no need to straight iron after. Great frizz control too even better than Livingproof TBD. I highly recommend this product!! and I will continue to buyHan K

I love Kenra products and this proves why. I used it for the first time today and my hair stayed straight with some natural wave, which is how I like it. It also feels really light and flowing, especially when I walk outside. I will definitely be purchasing this product regularly in the future.Angelina

I've been using this product for years, so Kenra, please continue selling this product! I live in the South where humidity comes into play no matter the time of year. I have very fine, thin hair and it goes flat almost as soon as I leave the bathroom without a styling gel. This gel is the perfect formula for giving my hair volume without weighing it down. It isn't sticky so I can blow dry my hair pulling and breakage. All of you who have fine, thin hair know what I'm talking about! Try it! It must be good, because I often have trouble finding it, but Ulta usually has at least one bottle on the shelf when I shop there. I have recommended this product to many of my friends with hair like mine.June

If you're looking for a hair gel that has a super-duper, concrete-like firm hold…this is it. It's also got a pleasant, non-offensive, masculine scent. It's easy to spread throughout the hair (unlike some of the other "ultra firm" hold hair gels) and you can easily thin out the gel with some water. However, it does take about an hour for this gel to dry at ambient room temperature, once applied. Just note that if you're looking to transfer the gel into another bottle (like a travel bottle), the scent disappears quickly and it starts to take on a weird consistency. Keep it in the original bottle or buy a smaller bottle size. And if you're keeping it on your bathroom counter, look into buying a pump. Be sure to shop around, pricing varies wildly between beauty shops and online retailers.B.L.

American crew is a really great product and works exactly as advertised. Its smooth and rich in texture and leaves your hair a little crunchy while firmly holding hair in place.. but it's just to expensive. I can get the same quality hair care If not less from a local grocery store for 75% less. I would use this product all the time, I just wish it was more affordable. I recommend this product for a high quality salon product that works! 👌jamie.r

It's like most high end hair styling products. It does what it says it should. I use a pea size blob, a bit of water to emulsify and run through my hair prior to going in with a hair-dryer. Great volume for a high pony tail or any up-do. My son uses it to slick back his hair. Pure gel, no water. There's the usual tacky residue on your hands, brushes and combs. Wash brushes and combs using a little shampoo and you're ready for the next day.melissa.h

I absolutely am in LOVE with this brand . This product is one of my favorites . Using it usually when I want to slick back my natural hair or add some shine to mg hold. It provides the hold I need but gives my hair such definition and makes it so soft . Always a favorite !keyara.d

This is my favorite gel! It gives great hold! The smell is amazing, leaving my hair smelling sweet for days. My go to product for styling periodt. It’s a thicker gel, but it applies really well and is easy to distribute. The ONLY thing I would improve is the size of the container. 8oz isn’t enough! I need 16,32, even 64oz packages would be much appreciated!marianna.r

Now being a curly girl I have searched far and wide to earth and beyond to find that special gel that accentuates and defines my curls, give a great hold, doestn feel sticky and when dried does not flake. And if you like me are on that journey then I am going to save you time, money and effort and say STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE, you've made it. This gel is unbelievable it has a very very light sweet citrus smell. Clear in colour and light in texture. I have used it in top of oil, cream and conditioner and it has blended well with all three. Do not be fooled by the size of the jar, a little goes along way.Amelle
