Good hair gel
Iâve been looking for a good, safe hair gel that doesnât make my hair a sticky mess. This one holds my waves nicely and my hair is soft when it dries. A very nice product :).

No Alcohol Baby!
This is The best hair gel I have tried to this day. Please note that if you want to look like Duran Duran then this is not the gel for you. It doesnât leave or make your hair really hard/stiff, it just leaves it in a more natural way, yet still holds the hair just fine. It doesnât create nor leave any kind of flakes. In my personal opinion is just a great product. I already finished my first tube and now Iâm buying more I really like it. Oh by the way, I really care about how my hair looks ð

Natural clean
This product was verified by friend that it’s toxic free. Holds the hair very well for all day strength but not too strong to make hair look very wet and hard. Fantastic product.

Use carefully
I finally got to using this product for retwisting my month old locs. It had hold with retwisting and held shape; however,it made light flakes when my hair dried, and I didn’t add much product because it seemed pretty thick. I will try aloe Vera gel and just keep it simple without the gel. The styling gel is organic and has hold, a fresh plant scent. It just didn’t work for me and I read a few reviews from people who had locced hair or texture similar to mine.

Amazon Customer –
Good product but it does not always mix well with others
UPDATED AFTER 2 MONTHS OF OWNING THE PRODUCTI love this product. It is now my go-to hair gel for my 3b curls. Now, although I love the product, it is not perfect.WARNING: Always test this product before you are about to use it or mix into your hair. I recommend that you mix small amounts of all of the styling products you are planning to use in your hand before applying them. This gel does not always play well with other products.Pros:- Will re-activate after a little bit of water is applied (good for that second-day hair)- No sticky or tacky hair after it dries (it is a little crunchy if you put too much in but that goes away if you scrunch your hair)- More herbal ingredients than âchemicalâ additives in the ingredients- Silicone freeCons:- DOES NOT REACT WELL TO PRODUCTS WITH CITRIC ACID IN THEM ( if you mix this gel with any styling products that have citric acid in them, your products will start to âcurdleâ or create globs that your hair that means you need to wash your hair – again)- Contains a few âchemicalâ ingredients in it. ( My ideal hair products have a list of ingredients that read like a grocery list and not a mix of the periodic table. An example of this standard is the OM Botanical Organic Conditioner. https://www.amazon.com/CONDITIONER-Conditioner-Silicone-Conditioning-Treatment/dp/B01IAGDOG2 )- It makes my scalp itch if I get it on it, which is sad because that is what this gel is trying to prevent but that is life.Overview of the product after owning it for 2 months:I still really like this product. It has its drawbacks and takes a little bit of a learning curve to work into my routine but I still like it and plan on buying it again. I really like that this product has little to no “chemical” ingredients. I wish this product did not make my scalp itch but it is the best I can find at the moment that works with my curls and a more natural alternative to chemical laden products.*TIP: Do not plop your hair when using this product. I have found that Plopping my hair with this product tends to make my scalp itch. Instead, I now make sure that the product does not touch my scalp or get near it when I apply the product.*TIP 2: Be very careful when you are re-wetting your hair for a second-day style. I have come to learn that this product makes my scalp itch. Now, I recommend that if you are going to reactivate this product that you re-wet your hair in sections and do not get close to your scalp.*TIP 3: I have come to learn that this product performs really well in my hair when I use OM Botanical Organic Conditioner. I get really good ringlets and next to no frizz when I use this conditioner before leaving the shower.*TIP 4: For a leave-in conditioner, I have come to find that California Baby Hair Conditioner – Super Sensitive is a great companion for this gel. California Baby’s conditioner does not “curdle” the gel and provides my hair with some moisture.This product is a good alternative to Ouidadâs Advanced Climate Control Hair Gel.

Great gel with many positive qualities
I have long curly and frizzy hair naturally so I’ve tried MANY products to give myself nice waves and less volume. This included multiple gel, pomade, paste and mousse products. I must say that this one remains my favorite among all. It is lightweight, yet has a strong hold. I have to use more than a pea sized amount, in fact probably 4 to 5 pumps total for my long hair, but I really notice the difference. I usually mix this gel with a straightening cream or balm to relax my curls, but the gel definitely provides the hold that a balm cannot by itself. I also love that it doesn’t build up in my hair or make it feel sticky, gunky or any of the other undesirable qualities. It also has a light, pleasant scent, nothing too heavy. It smells naturally and reminds me of spring. This is not a huge factor, but I also like the pump bottle – makes it much easier to disperse when my hands are already covered in product. I recommend putting this on damp hair for the best effect especially if you have wavy or curly hair. And of course, the absolute cherry on the cake is that it’s natural and contains a lot less (if any) harmful chemicals. I can definitely notice that by the health of my hair.

Dont believe the hype
I bought this based on the many good reviews I read on Amazon. After using this product, I am completely baffled how soo many people left good reviews ( fake accounts from the manufacturer perhaps?). This is a terrible product. It has ZERO hold, dries out within 10 minutes of having put in hair, and also made my hair feel really thin and fine. They also advertise that it can reactivate with water. This is not true.This gel has the same effect as if you put water on your hands and rubbed it in your hair. Actaully, that’s not true. Water would be better since it won’t make your hair fine and thin. I still haven’t found a quality natural hair styling product, but I can tell you this product is probably the worst thing I ever bought.

Tengo alergia a varios componentes cosmeticos. Compre este producto despues de verificar en la descripcion del producto de amazon que no tenia ninguno de ellos. Pero al recibir el bote leo que tiene Citronellol y Geraniol a los que tengo alergia y no se muestran en la descripcion de Amazon. Y lo peor de todo es que el producto no permite devolucion. Engaño total.

Tres bon gel bio avec une composition parfaite !!! ma fille de 15 ans en est fan !!!
Adam Swift –
One of the main criteria for choosing this over cheaper and known brands was the organic factor. No chemicals means that it doesn’t have the same perfumes added, so the smell does take some getting used to. That said, it is not a strong smell, and after applying it’s not noticeable at all.Medium hold, medium shine. Good for regular use.The bottle itself is of a decent size, I’ve been using it regularly for more than a month, and it’s hardly made a dent in the quantity left in the bottle. Should last 4-5 months even with daily use.

Ha sicuramente una lista di ingredienti naturali però ha poca tenuta sui capelli

I have spent hundreds of pounds trying to find a hair product to suit my sensitive scalp to no avail. Scalp Rescue Styling Gel, however, is an excellent product. It lightly coats my fine flyaway hair making it easy to style, even without blow-drying and has a natural hold. It has a delicate aroma that is pleasing but not overpowering and is very soothing to my scalp. I highly recommend this organic/vegan product. It stops my hair going frizzy even in the most damp weather. It’s good to find a company that has ethical values which also produces a great product.
