Our family decided to dread our hair. Although my grandson and mother’s hair texture isn’t naturally suited for dreads, they were keen on trying them out. We experimented with this product to see if it could assist in forming the dreads. The product left their hair incredibly soft, but it didn’t lock the hair into dreads on the first attempt. However, when they kept their hair wrapped for a few days during the next attempt, it seemed to do the trick.

This wonders to my hair. It’s so gently and smells very nice. Give my hair lots of curls. I love it.

Saw this in a YouTube video, and so glad I got it, my first ever curl gel. It’s nice and cheap, and works great!
I have 2b waves (I think? they vary a lot), and if I let my hair air dry with no product, it’s slightly frizzy. I bought this for encouraging natural curls, but I actually even use it if I want straight hair, to reduce frizz. It works great. I use this with a heat protectant curl cream out of the shower. If I want curls, I use a moderate amount and scrunch. If I want light waves, I use less and don’t encourage the curl with scrunching or diffusing, can even comb it while damp to encourage straightness. If I think I’ll be styling with heat later, I use a little before air drying to reduce frizz. Using this makes my hair much more defined and less frizzy, helps it air dry faster, and keeps it looking great for more days. The only disadvantage is if I go straight, I have to wash my hair sooner due to the amount of product looking oiler after a few days. But I prefer that to frizz and poof. Weirdly, when I encourage my curls with scrunching, my hair doesn’t look oily days later even when I used a lot of product.
It smells like piña colada, so I hope you like that.

Love the smell. I switched my shampoo and conditioner to a no scent one (it’s better for your hair) and I rather like smelling nice and I don’t want to spray my hair with perfume, that kind of defeats the purpose. I didn’t see anywhere on the container about a smell so I figured it didn’t have one, oh boy it does. I was very surprised and very happy. It can be overwhelming to some people, but I really like it and it isn’t as strong as when your hair is dry.
Now how it works. So I’ve been on a natural hair journey for about a year now, with not using any heat in about 8 months or longer. Even with using heat often before my hair was not damaged.
I’m the only one in my family that has thick course and curly hair, I would classify my hair with 3b curly and wavy hair. I am Italian but I’m the only one that inherited the hair, everyone else has fine hair that does fall flat naturally.
I’ve switched my pillows to silk to reduce frizz and it also helps with face aging.
Before this product I would use Aussie hair spray and spray my hair after a shower and go to bed with my hair flung over my pillow. This helped a lot with learning what kind of body my hair has naturally. It minimizes the frizz and it wasn’t stiff (since my hair was so wet when I applied)
Now I use a silk cap that I wear to bed. It takes longer for my hair to dry. But my hair has never looked so defined. Then I found this product because I didn’t want to keep using hairspray and it still had frizz when using hairspray and I wanted it to be even more defined.
So the first thing I noticed when I opened this was that the smell was amazing and tropical. Sometimes I smell mango, sometimes pineapple, and sometimes coconut. It’s a wild ride but I think it just overall smells amazing and tropical.
I apply it after I take a shower and go to sleep with my hair wet. I used it with the silk cap I have and it was absolutely amazing. It was defined for the most part. I definitely have to play with it more but I think it’s a great step for my hair.
It does have a decent hold, which is exactly what I wanted. My hair is still soft but you can definitely tell that there is product in it, which I don’t really like but it looks great and it isn’t crunchy or anything like that, so I think I have to concede on that bit for now.
My one issue is it can be a little clumpy. After I apply it to my hair and my hair is dry, I notice small amounts of white specs throughout my hair. It isn’t noticeable unless you look extremely close but I don’t like that aspect of it. So if you use it, make sure to rub it between your hands to break it down a bit more, that seems to help for me.
My hair is overall very healthy even when I was straightening it all the time, so it is still healthy. I only use this in my hair before bed and when I wake up I use some argon oil to help with shine and making my hair look more fresh. I really try to stay away from having extensive hair and beauty routines, the simpler the better in my opinion. I do think a silk cap can help a lot of people with frizz. And I never even really thought of wearing a cap until I tried the curly hair method and tried to use cotton tshirt to wear my hair up at night (which absolutely helps, definitely try it if you haven’t.) but the shirt could be kind of bulky and uncomfortable to sleep with.
So I recommend this product hands down, and without a doubt. I also suggest getting either a silk cap or silk pillows or both to help battle frizz and aging. I got them both on amazon.

So far so good I like this product. It smells real good. Do not see any white flakes from it. That’s a good sign.

A little bit works great. Tames my frizz and helps keep my curl. It doesn’t make my hair stiff or weighted down

Thank you.

Angenehmer Geruch und lässt sich leicht im nassen Haar verteilen. Beschwert die Locken nicht und gibt ihnen halt!

Tengo mi cabello procesado y de verdad que este producto me hidrato super bien me queda el cabello suavecito y brillante como si lo tuviera mojado pero seco. Ningún producto me había funcionado tan bien como este.

Regalato a mia moglie che ha apprezzato molto per il risultato sui capelli ricci e per l’ottimo profumo
The red bottle in my order apparently got so hot that as soon as I touched it it exploded. It’s was like hot super glue dashed on me. Got my arm, chest, floor, face. Now I can’t even get in touch with anyone about my issue. –
Has a medium hold. It’s a cream rather than gel, so it’s lightweight. Does not give it that hard shell around the curl. Smells good.
