    Love this gel

    Best gel for my daughter’s hair. She has frizzy hair like mommy so it helps when doing updos and doesn’t leave her hair hard like other products.

    Good hold, no crunch

    Good hold. No crunch. Use with a curl cream and you’re good to go. Prevents frizz and gives well defined curls till next hair wash day.

    This review isn’t about the product. It’s about Target red circle saying it’s 5% discount when you use your red card but in reality it isn’t. I am waiting for an explanation as to why it isn’t.

    Absolutely perfect

    Red shirt pic is my usual hair, same style, black shirt pic is this gel. If that doesnt convince you to get it, idk what will!!! This changed my life!!! Creates a soft cast thats SUPER easy to scrunch out and doesnt leave my hair stringy like most gels ive tried. Its lightweight enough for my finer wavy long hair so as to not weigh it down. It also smells good but the smell isnt overwhelming. This photo is day 3 hair, i just sprayed it with some water and scrunched in the gel!!!! A lifesaver. Id take it with me to a desert island, id get buried with this gel.

    Sickeningly STRONG fragrance

    I couldn’t tell you if this gel is good or not, I literally used it once and the smell made me puke. I’m sensitive to fragrance but my wife isn’t and even she said it was horrible.

    Just okay

    We have 5 curly Girls in the house but for some reason this was not their favorite. It was okay maybe a little too sticky.

    A little crunchy, but good hold.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the hold this gives, but it does get crunchy textured if you over-do it. There is not much of a scent, which is fine by me! Overall, I like this product and will continue to use.

    I absolutely love this stuff! However, it can be quite drying if applied alone.
