Batia and Aleeza Gel - Any build-up problems?

[SicilyCurl]

I just started using B&A gel on Monday. I'm wondering if this gel can cause build-up problems. Can it be washed out easily with a gentle shampoo? Or would I still need to clarify later on down the road? The ingredients seem pretty gentle and benign, but I haven't used it long enough to experience any major problems. I just want to know what to expect so I can arm myself with the right shampoo. I thought I'd give Innersense shampoo a try. Do you think that would be good enough to clean out the B&A gel? Right now I'm using Paul Mitchell Daily Moisture Shampoo but it's too harsh for me, and I want to transition to a sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoo. I'm new here and I need help! Thanks.

I have been using B&A gel since Monday. I haven't noticed a reaction to the protein (at least I don't think so), but I seem to have a greasy build-up in my hair and I'm not even using that much. I shampoo every other day with Paul Mitchell shampoo (which should get it clean), and I'm only applying a small nickel-size amount in total. Yet, my hair seems to get progressively greasier, frizzier, and heavier. Granted the frizz could be from the harsh PM shampoo, but I'm planning on switching to something lighter. Could the progressively greasy feeling actually be a negative reaction to the protein?

My hair doesn't feel dry or hard, just greasy. Not sure if its the protein or if it's product build up....or whatever.

I have been using the gel pretty regularly and I have not noticed any greasies. But everyone's hair is so different.
