Gretchen - Hair Type: 3a Love this gel. In the summer, mixed with Structra Lotion, it gives me the best curls ever.
In the winter, when it's dryer, this is a bit heavy for me.

FrizzBgone - Hair Type: I like this gel when used with Repair Curling Creme as a leave- in and after Structura Lotion. It gives me nicely formed, soft curls without any frizz and all day hold. It is definitely a summer product though; it is too much for the winter months.

beccafly18 - Hair Type: 3a This gel is great, especially when mixed with the lotion. It helps with curl definition. I would give it 4 curls, but it's not a guaranteed works-every-time product. This may just be my (3a) hair, but it's sometimes great (especially when I diffuse it with duck clips to "lift the roots") and sometimes pretty scraggly and not very defined (ponytail hair). Overall, it is a huge step up from the regular drug store products I was using before.

crazycurls - Hair Type: 3b I have the best luck with this gel if I combine it with Structura lotion.
First I use the repair cream, then I combine the two gels in the palm of my hand and apply in sections.

shimmi - Hair Type: 3c Humidty will become your friend. No need to stress with this gel. Curls last and last. Mucho shine. Dries crispy but de-crunches very easy.

Suburbanbushbabe - Hair Type: 3c My favorite gel and used primarily after shampoo rather than cowash. I first "base coat" my hair with a little Curlisto hair repair cream and Ouidad Botanical Boost spray, then apply the Control II. Better than any other gel for smoothing and defining texture and hold with serious crunch. A little goes a long way in my hair.

princesapia - Hair Type: 3b LOVE THIS PRODUCT; BUT IT IS A LITTLE PRICEY FOR THE AMOUNT GEL I USE DAILY. HOWEVER, I WOULD STILL BUY IT. MY HAIR IS THICK, AND THIS GEL CONTROLS AND WEIGHS DONE MY CURL, A PLUS FOR ME.

slackerd - Hair Type: 3b This is great. I have to admit I like gels that give my a little crunch so I was set back a bit. This leaves my hair soft with great curl formation. I'm going to try it with the structura lotion next!
