Cheles08 - Hair Type: 4b I am not entirely attached to this product or the brand in general. I did use this to smooth down my edges when I styled my hair in a puff. It held my hair down in the back, but in the front and on my side edges, it was not enough hold for my hair. Good point: my hair was not made hard. However, it did seem drying, which is strange.

laurabeth33 - Hair Type: 2b Impressive volume. Nice curl encouragement. Hold failed later in the day (and curls fell). More rat's nesty frizz than I prefer (which accelerated thru the day). Nice citrus fragrance that didn't linger (would be too much near the face if it did).

queentf2008 - Hair Type: My hair is kinky, corkscrew curls and it gave me a little hold to no hold. I will not use it or purchase it again.

LeeMayhem - Hair Type: 3c Best gel i've ever used. I apply a generous amount(like the directions say) to small sections of wet hair and smooth through. Im left with great definition and some elongation. Best of all i can use this product alone and get great results. Does not dry my hair out(as it is made with aloe and other quality oils),but i do use oil to add shine to my hair.Im an aloe fix junkie for life!

Gabi2009 - Hair Type: Am CJ fan but this product did not do it for me. It smells ok and is easily applied but the effect was not noticeable.

Nutmeg - Hair Type: 4a I appreciate the hold of this product, did a really good job with my wash & go, and I also use it to slick back my buns and ponytails. It can seem slightly "producty"/dense, though, and it doesn't encourage moisture, so I wouldn't use it if you no-poo or don't co-wash regularly.

OperaCurls - Hair Type: 3b I want to give this product a higher rating, because on good days, it's awesome; bouncy, defined ringlets that are voluminous and soft to the touch. Dries with no crunch at all and works on dry hair as a frizz smoother. BUT, on low-humidity days, this gel makes my hair frizzy and dry.
In short, this gel is best suited for humid summer weather, but is not a year-round product for me.

CurlA - Hair Type: 3a Good finishing product. Light and best used when your hair is damp not completely dry.

joyb - Hair Type: 2a I like this stuff. It's very thick and hydrating. Nice light smell. I didn't achieve maximum wavy from my 2A hair with this product, but frizz-factor was low and the finish was silky.

FrizzBgone - Hair Type: I love this product. I scrunched it in after using the CJ Assurance Leave-in. After plopping, I scrunched in a small amount of gel, clipped and diffused. I had amazing curls, no frizz and lots of volume. It has a nice clean scent, but it is not overpowering. I will definitely repurchase - highly recommend!
