17 Best Hair Gels
Editor's Rating & Review
We curly people are special. We can't cope with humidity. We can't run into the 7-Eleven after a day at the beach and not scare the clerk. Help can be found in this mid-weight curl-defining lotion, which consolidates smaller curls into smoother, defined sections. As hair dries, a wheat protein/aloe mix contracts to hold curls together, lessening unruly frizz. For styling structure or hold, you'll need to add a product. Ditto for shine enhancement.

LEAVES A STICKY MESS!
This is a terrible product. I like to scrunch my hair to make it curly. It's straight on the front and curly in the back. I thought this would be a good product to hold the curl in the straight area of my hair. It held the curl all right, but with a gooey, creepy feeling on my hair. The curls also felt stiff, and it removed any shine I had in my hair. Save your money! CaroleThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 10 people said helpful

Wish I read these reviews first!
I have wavy hair and have been on an endless journey to find the perfect product; one that enhances my waves and combats the frizz. I can't tell you how much I WANTED to like this product but it just wasn't for me. I thought maybe I needed some hold so I tried mixing it with a light gel or mousse; then I tried letting it air dry; then using a diffuser; then adding shine serum.... The list goes on ...read moreand on. Some days it worked and other days not; I just found the product to be inconsistent and about as good as an average or below average drugstore product. It just wasn't worth the added expense. Unfortunately, my salon doesn't accept returns. :(This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

Just Okay
I think drug-store products work as well, if not better than this one, and for the price, I don't think it's worth it. It gave a little moisturizing. Maybe it was the wheat complex. But I didn't find the curls more defined like you see in the picture. It makes me think, "Is this REALLY the product being used for these fabulous curls?" Perhaps I'm using it wrong. So if you'd like to moist...read moreurize frizzy hair and then scrunch it while still damp to get better results, then purchase an Aveda product that's mediocre. But if you want to save a few bucks, go to your local drug-store.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 10 people said helpful
