Why it's great: If you're rocking a pixie cut and want to add a little spiky texture to your 'do, then readers say this is the hair gel for you. "It's the only gel that's proven stiff enough to hold up (and out) my short, spiky hair," writes one user. Another chimes in to say, "This stuff will make your hair stay in place for hours and hours and will not move for anything." Having problems with frizz? Reviewers swear this product mollifies wild hair, too. "I have wavy hair that ends in frizz," says one user. "I put this in after I shampoo my hair, go to bed, and voilà! Ringlet curls in the morning with no frizz."

This is a TREMENDOUS assortment of products, all at affordable prices. I'm not an expert at using these, so maybe I'll buy some and keep working at it.

I hate pretty much the entire Herbal Essences curly line. It just makes my dry hair even drier.

That Biolage gelee works really well. I prefer mousse but will occasionally use gel depending on the look I'm going for.

Curly hair girls use all types of gels. I try use products without silicones and sulfates. That is what this article is missing. Actually I think that is what needs to be added to all of the products "an ingredients list". For all the products I have to do a search online for the ingredients which is time consuming. Since I started avoiding products with these ingredients my hair has transformed to more manageable and healthier.

I think the hair that would benefit the most from a hair gel, is a short spikey cut or maybe even a pixie. I have shoulder length fine and thin hair and gel doesn't give me the soft, touchable feel compared to say - mousse. I admit, I do use a spray gel, but only at the roots to give my hair more volume. I've tried a gel recently, I think it's called SAMY curling gel. It's supposed to give you "great curls". Only it doesn't. It didn't do anything for my hair. I have a natural wave so I can wear it curly or straight. But even for the curls, I prefer to use a mousse for body and hold.

Don't really use hair gels, but this article was still helpful!
