I'm not too big on gels in my regimen, but they do have an important place for my fro. Gels help keep my coils from wrapping around themselves and causing all sorts of knots. I have less problems with SSK's and tangles when I use a gel vs when I don't. Especially if my hair is in a shrunken state :) Here are the gels I currently have: Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Styling Gel
After Sun Aloe Vera Gel
Shea Moisture Curling Souffle
Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel |
Highlights* Cheap * Strong hold (great for edges) * Alcohol free * Contains protein (strength) *Contains glycerin (moisture) *UV protection * Silicone free * Curly Girl friendly | Cons For My Fro* Drying (feels "draggy" when appling to my hair) * Leaves my hair hard * Leaves and ashy residue * Leaves my hair dull looking * Strong scent (men's cologne lol) * Can cause build up etc if too much is used Possible Con: contains glycerin and protein which can make the hair feel hard depending on the weather or how much protein or glycerin rich products are in your regimen. |
Thank you so much for always advertising the Fantasia gel. I was skeptical at first - but I tried it and I love my twist outs! Thank you and God bless you ..your family and your tresses! :)
Hey KC!
Thank you soo much! I'm really glad this works for your hair! God bless you too :D
Hi Naturalme4c,
I have been natural for a few years after having done a big chop myself, back in 2010. However, I never knew how to care for my natural hair until recently thanks to a friend who suggested I watch the many Youtube videos. Until then I was perfectly content with my 'fro. I am a little bit of a product junkie since I am trying to figure out what works for me, and I am now one of your subscribers! I am a little confused about which Aftersun gel to purchase at the CVS pharmacy. I see the soothing version & the moisture version, but not a hair holding gel version if one exists. Please clarify this for me. Thank you :-)
Hey coolingwinds!
Thank you soo much for your support! I'm really happy you like this channel :) The aloe vera gel from cvs is the one used for skin...I use it on my hair though lol. Another brand that has identical ingredients is the fruit of the earth brand :) People like using that one on their hair too. I still like these gels but found out that the ingredients dmdm hydantoin can be questionable :/ Right now, as my hair has grown my favorite gel is the fantasia ic
Thank you so much!
