I had heard great reviews about this product so when I found it at a local health food store I was super excited to try it. It didn't give me the hold that I wanted and my hair was frizzy after applying it. I will probably use it eventually in the future.

I really like this jelly. It is one of the most moisturizing styling products that I own. I like to apply it mix with Oyin Honey honey dew to damp freshly conditioned hair then braid out twist. My hair comes out soft and pliable!

I really like this gel. It feels great, almost moisturizing to my hair. Hold is low to medium for me, but I love it for days that I don't want to deal with sticky firmer hold gels and having to SOTC. I always use it over a leave-in conditioner. Will definitely repurchase.

Did nothing for my hair. I could tell it added some moisture, but as far as defining curls of helping with frizz (like most gels) it left my hair out of control.

This stuff ROCKS! Best curl enhancer for my fine 2b/3a hair, works better for me than CIAB or SS CEJ. The other two don't help with my natural fly aways and frizz, but AOMM gives me soft shiny loopy spirals and mixes well with all my gels and mousse too! Doesn't hold all day alone but with a little gel or mousse it's perfect!

This has been my HG for over 5 yrs. I use it over KBB super silky leave-in, plop and diffuse dry with consistently amazing results. I would highly recommend it for fine/medium haired curlies looking for a light to medium holding gel. Best all-natural styling gel I've used!

Works really well considering it has a jelly consistency which doesn't generally work on my hair.

I like herbal smell of it and it works pretty well. Leaves hair soft and relatively shiny and defined. I use a pomade over everything tho once hair is dry. Without a pomade to add shine hold and definition this wouldn't be enough for me.

I really like this 'jelly'. It only works for me if I use it over a leave-in conditioner (which is a must for me anyway) as it is not moisturizing enough on its own. It gives good hold and control and scrunches out nicely leaving my hair with good clumping and definition. It does flake if you use too much, but you don't need to, a little goes a long way.

This is the perfect summer gel. It provides phenomenal frizz control and definition with a light hold and lots of shine! It dries relatively quickly too (1 hr vs 3 hours with my previous routine.) Not sure how many good hair days in a row I can get from it yet, since summer equals me cowashing my hair at least once every 2 days with all the humidity. Can't wait to test it throughout the year.

This is a great jelly to use to distribute products with thicker consistency. It lends curls softness, manageability and frizz control. It's a definite staple.

I love this! I use it every time I do my hair. Usually mix with my gel, but I've also used it as my gel, especially in the Winter, and got good hold and bouncy curls...I like my curls springy & bouncey and this really helps!!!

I just love this product. After I was and condition / co-wash I apply it on bare naked wet hair, add my leave in and comb through then I use my styling product. My frizz has been greatly reduced with the addition of Mandarin Magic to my routine

It gave good hold and shine, but after continued use it became very drying on my curls, and a little flaky

This product is awesome! Did not dry crunchy, eliminated frizz, and my hair was touchable! Did use 2 sprays of the Sea Buckthorn Leave In Conditioner and Curl Activator underneath...All in all, very satisfied!

I really hope this doesn't dry crunchy on my hair, because I really like it so far! Gave me shiny, clumped curls, decreased frizz and didn't weight down my 'fro. If my curls dry soft, I think we have a HG!
