Need drugstore gel rec's
 

Spray gel seems to just make my hair frizzy. I wanted it to work out because I want to keep my hair voluminous, but the frizzy undefined waves isn't worth the volume.

So I'm looking for a regular drugstore gel that will not flatten down my hair, but rather enhance and define my waves and help control frizz.

protein free please!

thanks!

Not sure if they're protein-free, but here are my recs
 

Herbal Essences Body Envy (in the orange tube) - my current favorite. Holds well, and provides shine.

Herbal Essences Set Me Up (turquoise tube) - 2nd choice. Good curl formation & hold, but quite as much as with BE.

Herbal Essences Totally Twisted (purple tube) - a tie for 2nd choice. I find I need to use more of this than the previous to in order to get sufficient hold, but still an all-around decent product.

HTH!

I second HE Body Envy. I never cared for SMU, but BE is excellent in my hair. If you want a lighter hold, I recommend l'oreal Studio Line Tightly Wound. It comes in a spray bottle, but I found it very hard to spray, so I pour it straight out of the bottle into my hand.
