laurabeth33 - Hair Type: 2b Simply amazing curls with this over CK--very piecey, soft hold that didn't fail! Excellent in cooler temps but didn't hold up too well when temps over 70 F or raining.

Michelle B - Hair Type: 3b with a liquidy feel - more like a glaze. Smells great and gave me good curl formation.

Gretchen - Hair Type: 3a A great styler. Terrific curl formation without stick or crunch. You can use it on wet or dry hair. Contains lots of botanicals.

StepNOut - Hair Type: 3b This product left my hair feeling quite dry and instead of being curl defining it actually worked to make my curls look less defined and they had hardly any movement to them.

skeddy - Hair Type: 3a I completely agree with the reviews by "lusciouscurls" and "Meezer." This product gave me stringy, crunchy hair. I tried scrunching out the crunch after my hair dried, and just ended up with stringy fluff. I'll stick with Curl Keeper - a similar product but with infinitely superior results.

Product - Hair Type: 3a This makes my hair have really good definition. I have 3a hair and it smells wonderful. I use it with Kinky Curly Come Clean shampoo and DevaCare shampoo and my hair looks great.

FrizzBgone - Hair Type: I was surprised at how liquidy this gel was, but it worked really well. It smells wonderful as well. I used it over a curl enhancing cream. I had great curls that lasted all day and most importantly - no frizz !

RachelJ - Hair Type: 3b This is my all time favorite gel (ouidad climate control is a close second)- it gives frizz free curls & great second day loose curls!

deepredringlets - Hair Type: 3a Altough this did not have enough hold for my hair, it did give my hair lots of body and softly defined curls. I don't have a frizz problem, so don't know about that. I use one of my hard hold gels on top and together, they work great on my hair.

chococurls - Hair Type: 3c BEST styler ever! Before this and Curl Keeper, gels were the only thing that came close to controlling my hair...but any gel that killed the frizz and made my hair look good always made my hair feel nasty--stiff and crunchy. Then I found this, and wow! My hair stays defined, nearly frizz-less (and where I live--humidity central--that's a miracle), shiny, and SOFT all day long. Dries a little crunchy at first, but a quick scrunch removes it without ruining the good effects of the product. I LOVE it! Plus it smells like coconuts...yummy! I get sooo many compliments on my hair these days. Try it; it's definitely worth the money!

curlyblonde - Hair Type: 3a Great smell, use with Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper and Blended Beauty Kick for Curls to get great definition and hold. However, is only good for low humidity weather. I live in Southern PA and work in MD. I use the above blend during the winter. During the summer this gel just doesn't cut it.

Suburbanbushbabe - Hair Type: 4a Used this gel in 60+% and 93% humidity, rainy days and it failed both times. It's a fair weather gel. Also, it's so thin, I can't "feel" whether I'm applying too much on one part or too little on another. Throwing at the wall.

Rainforest1 - Hair Type: 3b I really like this gel...it's so lite and it leaves my hair really soft. When my hair gets longer, I may have to use a stronger gel with it, but we'll see. Right now it's fabulous.

kurlee - Hair Type: 3a This is a pretty good gel. I liked it but it wasn't the ultimate solution so I moved on. Well worth a try. Better than average for sure.

Megara - Hair Type: 3b Great definition, not crunchy or producty feeling. For a thin gel, it's holding power is great. Even my roots get curly. My ends get kinda dry by the end of the day, but not enough to bother me. Great over Curl Keeper.

Bailey422 - Hair Type: 3a Love, love, love this gel! Goves great definition and shine with just the right amount of hold. Even gives decent frizz control in humid Florida summer. Most of the compliments I get on my hair come on days I use this gel.

lusciouscurls - Hair Type: 3a Wow, I was expecting a lot from this product, however it made my hair dry, crunchy and wet looking. I tried using less, but it still didn't define my curls enough.

maria_i - Hair Type: 3a The best gel for me! Great curl formation, very nice smell, lots of shine. It took me some time to *learn* how to use it, now it is my favorite.

kimmyc - Hair Type: 2b I really love this gel. It's one of my favorites that I have used. It gives nice hold and my hair isn't frizzy when I use it. I will definitely always have a bottle of this in my cabinet and I reach for it frequently. My only concern would be that the protein would dry my hair out over time if used everyday.

PixieCurl - Hair Type: 3a very nice gel. gives a natural look and great hold. is not my favorite gel, but i would be perfectly happy if it was all i could use.
CurlRating: 4 Aug 01, 2005
lushaholic - Hair Type: 2a This is definitely an HG for me! I'm not much on gels, but this doesn't act like a typical gel because it's thinner and lighter without being sticky and gives fantastic clumping with a natural look and hold. Never want to be without it!

syb - Hair Type: 3b This product made my hair so unbelievably crunchy and wet looking! I wish that I am now left with a 3/4 full bottle of this stuff! This stuff isn't magic in a bottle, but a total waste of a bottle!

italiancurlgirl - Hair Type: 3a This gel is a miracle. It works well on its own, and even better when layered with another curl enhancing product. Can apply it to wet, damp or dry hair for many different looks. Revitalizes easily with wet hands for 2, 3 and even 4th day hair!! Soft, shiny, clumpy curls every time--and no frizz!

lotzofcurlz - Hair Type: 3a when used alone, doesn't provide enough hold or control for my 3B/C hair; also dries crunchy. works very well when layered with a cream-based styling product.

Chocolate Curls - Hair Type: 3b This product creates large, loose curls and is moisturizing. It is lightweight and doesn't feel product-y or crunchy. The effect is beautiful. The only negative thing is that the hold could be stronger. However, I layered it over Sebastian Potion 9 (a leave in conditioner which has a little bit of hold) and the results were great. I think that this product is geared towards hair types 3b and looser.

skywatcher - Hair Type: 3a This is the best gel I have ever used. It gave me soft curls with good definition without feeling producty. Love it!!!!!

miacurl - Hair Type: 3a Like it (it is winter now) and use it most days paired with curl keeper. Glaze like and easy to distribute. Great scent of coconut.
CurlRating: 2 Nov 08, 2004
Meezer - Hair Type: 3a This is a very watery styling aid that has a powerful coconut scent. I am able to achieve the same results with other liquidy stylers, without the price tag. Also, you have to use A LOT of this gel on order to get any sort of frizz-control/hold. There are better alternatives out there.

americangirl - Hair Type: 3b finally, the dream product I've been searching for! forms beautiful curls and holds them all day -- keeps frizz away. this really is great stuff, can't wait to try the shampoo and conditioner.
