Not so good
I used the shampoo and leave in conditioner. The gel did not elongate my curls. They are tight, but slightly soft.

Love this gel!! Only protein defines my 4c curls the best and the flexseed helps with the slip!! Hold doesn't last too long but pair with a strong hold mouse or holding gel

Shrinkage
I’m natural. My hair is soft but tightly curly. Shrinkage is horrible. This product failed to stop some shrinkage if not all and, added no shine to my hair. I returned the product.

Great curl definition
This product is great for defining my 4c curls and moisturizing them. I love how the curls come out. It is great for shaping and not messing with them and letting them set with a diffuser. My hair is always going to shrink because it is what it is. The only way for hair to be elongated and keep the curl is by relaxing the hair at a shorter period of time. I love how there is no color in this product so my pillows won't be jacked up. My curls are way better than I ever thought. This product is the truth. This is truly for 4c hair. They know about coiled hair

Affordable alternative
Affordable & decent alternative to Kinky Curly custard but I still feel like my thick coarse 2a waves are not holding up as much. Still much better than other gels I’ve tried.

Best product for very thick hair hands down!
This is the only product that actually doesn’t shrink my curls! I have very thick hair and regardless of how much I use it never weighs it down. Love this!!!

The BEST!!!!!!!
I never leave reviews on products. But this….felt the need to! I actually were my curly hair straight all year long. July and August are super hot so my edges start to look some sort of way by day 3 or 4. I DON’T like edge control and couldn’t find any gel to hold my hair down in this heat and humidity. I spent 7 hours outside in 97 degrees and my hair held the entire time!! And I only had a few minutes to apply the gel and let it set before heading out into that weather! This gel is AMAZING!!!!! So for people who wear your hair straight, this will help you ALOT for getting a couple extra days out of straight hair (i wash and straighten it every week and my hair is still curly as ever lol)

Not good
This flakes in my daughters hair and die: not dissolve well in water or oil. It is was confusing trying to get the white clumps to go away when styling my child’s hair. Not a strong hold as well

Finally, no residue on my hair
I have used this product for almost two months and it is great! It doesn't leave my hair with any type of white residue or dry my hair out. My hair is also soft and twist styles last longer.
