    Only gel I have found to work for me!!

    5 out of 5 stars

    I have 3B/3C curls with characteristics of: low porosity, fine strands, and low density. Last time my hair was colored was about a year and a half ago and I dont use any heat besides the occasional use of a diffuser for drying. I got travel sizes of both this gel and the regular curl gel, while I do like the regular curl gel, I prefer the strong hold gel as it gives more hold and definition than the other gel which tends to give me a more "bouncy" and "carefree" look. All strong hold gels I have used before either weighed my hair down no matter how much I diluted with water, flaked on me, or made my hair "stringy". This gel gives my hair great definition and AMAZING shine like no other product has given my hair before all while still letting my hair have volume!! Also, it smells soooooo good; I tend to get headaches/migraines from strong scents and this is mild enough for me to use and enjoy without being overwhelmed by the smell. I dont have any pics past day 1 hair but it does make my hair hold up nicely! I wash my hair every other day sometimes every 3 days though on day 3 my hair is usually a hot mess so I usually have it in a brain or bun on day 3. I dont think this would give hold for more than 3 days but again, I use this product diluted with water so perhaps it can give more than 3 days hold? It does leave a cast but it is easy to scrunch out and most of the time I do use this gel, I scrunch out gently without oil because thats how moisturizing this gel feels. I scrunch really gently to not cause unnecessary frizz.

    THIS PRODUCT FLAKES

    Purchased and have used twice - both times the gel clumped and flaked on my freshly washed dark hair, my hair looked terrible. The hold is not that great either because the product does not stay in your hair and flakes out. Don't waste you $ - I returned this crappy overpriced gel.

    I love the hold, thickness and smell. But it is really disappointing to wash your hair, apply this gel and see flakes for days!! Please change the formula.

    saying this product is good is an understatement. It works great for my 3A curls, slick backs, and I've found it's great for braids. I would definitely recommend this product!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great thick gel. It gives good hold without making your hair hard or drying out my hair. I like to use it when I’m doing a slick back on straightened hair or doing a protective style like twist.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Strong Hold Gel is a repurchase for me. I use this gel to lay down my stubborn grey hair that’s growing in and doesn’t want to behave sometimes. I like this gel because it’s allows me to wear smooth hairstyles without drying out my hair. Moreover it has a natural shine that doesn’t obnoxiously look hard and crispy.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TBH, I didn’t know what to expect from or even believe about what this product would do for my hair, but WOW! I’ve used very many great quality products on my 3C/4A hair, and even still, my twists out start showing a little frizz by day 2, 3 if I’m lucky. But this Strong Hold Gel kept me frizz-free for about 6 days and the frizz that did appear was so minimal. I didn’t know that was even possible! This stuff is like magic and I plan to never be without it.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this after the leaving conditioner for when I do my braids for work and it keeps my hair nice and also after work, I can braid my hair and I have pretty curls. It is the least drying holding gel I have yet to try.

    I have naturally curly hair and when it comes to styling, I never thought of using gels. I don't like to use hairspray too often because of the stiffness and stickiness. I do want something to keep my hair styled especially when the wind starts blowing in the fall. I was skeptical to try this since it says strong hold so I got a travel size to try. I'm glad I got it. One lesson I have learned about using gels is that you don't need a lot. I'm surprised my hair isn't dried out. I will use it in between washing my hair. Thank you.
