I didn't really like this gel too much. It gave some crunch but for my hair it didn't work too well - no definition or reduction in frizz. I have to say tho I loved the smell!

I couldn't get past the scent. I ended up giving to my friend. She liked the smell, and she said it worked well on her curls.

Gave me decent curl formation. A little crunch.

Yuck this product is one of the worst I have ever used, and I have used a lot! It completely dried out my hair. I have very fine curly hair and this product made my hair look terrible. I hate products that have alcohol in them.

I tend to like runnier gels, but this one just wasn't enough for my hair. It did seem to boost curl, but had hardly any hold in my hair. I had a lot of frizz, and my curls fell flat. It would be really good for someone that likes very light-hold gels.

I really like the consistency of this gel. It's unlike anything I've ever tried before. It's very runny and slippery - kind of like melted jello. My hair also seems to be curlier whenever I use it. I need to layer it with another product though because it doesn't have enough hold on it's own for me. Another thing - the 2nd ingredient is Alcohol denat. but I've never had a problem with this gel drying out my hair (And my hair gets dried out quite easily). Overall - this is a very good gel and one of my favourite products.

This is my favourite product to use in the summer. It is of a thin consistency which means it's easy to distribute. It doesn't weigh down my hair and gives good hold that lasts throughout the day. My hair looked as good at the end of the day as it did when I first styled it. It definitely enhances curls and gives great shine. The gel works really well in humidity, and the more humid it got, the curlier my hair got. It works brilliantly at dealing with frizz too, and my hair is a giant frizz ball without product. I use this gel by itself too. I haven't found any problems with the drying alcohol and it doesn't build up. UK curlies can find it in Boots. It's called Curl Friends Scrunching Jelly over here, but the packaging is the same as in the picture. It costs £3.99.

Curl Rating: 4 4 Curls: Results were better than most. Would repurchase, just not in bulk.
Curl Rating: 3 3 Curls: Some redeeming qualiities but inconsistent or an incomplete solution. Repurchasing hesitancy.
Curl Rating: 2 2 Curls: Had at least one positive trait, but the negative outweighted the positive(s) without question.
Curl Rating: 1 1 Curl: If I were stuck on a desert island, and this product was the only one available, I'd make my own stuff on the island.
