Summary: My curls never looked so good!
Comment: I bought this product directly from the Ouidad site. It is expensive but if used properly can make a HUGH difference in your curly hair. There is a technique to styling curly hair called the "rake and shake". It is described in detail on the Ouidad website. This product does leave your hair crisp but once it is completely dry all you have to do is use a small amount of shiner to take the crunch out. Also, you should touch your hair as little as possible once you do the rake and shake to apply the gel as touching it increases frizz. I love this gel and will continue to spend the money on it, I have received numerous compliments on my curls since I began using it about a year ago.

Summary: great product
Comment: Let me first say that for the past few years I have straightend my hair because I did not know how to deal with my curly hair. Always frizzy, course and just plain unruly. Well I recently had my haircut by a Ouidad Stylist and she suggested this gel. I will tell you it is VERY expensive. But, so far worth it. This by far beats everything that I have underneath my bathroom sink. I normally would not spend this much on a hair product, but this is the first time in a long time that I don't feel the need to straighten my hair to make it look presentable. Apply this gel to soaking wet hair. Do not towel dry. Make sure to section your hair and coat every strand for perfect, frizz free curls. Your hair needs to be very wet when applying. What I really like about this gel is even if you over apply, your hair does not feel crunchy like most gels. Dry your hair with a diffuser if you do not have time to air dry. You will wind up with beautiful, soft looking curls. I am loving this stuff.

Summary: YES, HAIR IS STIFF BUT HOLD ON.....
Comment: Please try this product if you have curly hair. the product will leave your hiar stiff; however your hair will relax and not frizz out. for example, I use Ojon products which will perform equally well on curly hair. The Ojon styling crm will form a nice curl and then the hair becomes very fluffy. The Ouidad will form a tighter curl; thereby, keeping the curl closer to the head. You need to decide which type of gel/styling crm will work best for your curly hair type and there are many different curls out there. Another reviewer had said to read the Ouidad site which will explain curl types. I am a convinced no one product line is perfect. This line works because it has a tighter control of the curl.

Summary: Leaves Hair Extremely Dry
Comment: I was very excited to receive this product. I actually purchased mine off of hsn. While the product definitely puts curl in your hair, my hair was left extremely dry and stiff. I used the product twice just to give it a fair shot and each time, the hair was left dry. I also used her leave-in. I used the leave-in once and also used the gel without the leave, just to see if there would be a difference. Also my hair is very thick african american hiar. Overall, I am very disappointed with this product.

Summary: Great product - they should offer the giant size via Amazon
Comment: This is a great product for those with curly hair. It really does what it says on the bottle - it coats the hair and reduces/ eliminates frizz and helps the curl to achieve a good shape. Fragrance free, you don't need more than a half dollar coin size dollop for shoulder length thick hair.

Can occasionally make hair 'crispy' which is not a big deal as I no longer look like a woman capped with a fuzzy mushroom for hair.

Buy with confidence - and tell Ouidad to offer the salon size jumbo version they offer via their website on Amazon - it is worth it as once you try it - you will love it.
