Some tips from a cosmetology student for working with this gel or any glycerin/humectant heavy gel: apply to soaking wet hair and rake and smooth through. Then apply a topper product with antihumectants or emollients like innersense inner peace, I create hold, or I create volume. The doux pop lock is also a topper/anti humectant gel. This gives you the moisture and hold you need while also providing a barrier against humidity.
Thank you for your expert clarification. On a lot of the videos I've seen, the person does not follow the directions exactly how it is on the product. So it's not a fair review of the product.
First time using, yes, it took a while to fully dry, no flakes, nice,shiny and looks wet when it dried, my hair was defined and wavy , I hope it will last a couple of days.
@@Leaveit2Nessa The style last 2 days my first try, the second time 5 days, this time I sat under the dryer and let it seal. For me this is Rare, love the product, just freshened up my edges
It’s a clean fragrance. When I tried it the first time i didn’t add enough gel or water,small enough sections and I didn’t smooth and rake enough so I’ll try it again.
I have used it before. It's just ok. I hate the smell. I used it for a twist out. After about 5 days it made my hair kind of dry. So you do need to use a moisturizing leave in even though the website tells you not to use a leave in. I also used it to slick my hair back for a high puff. It works well for that. That is the only reason I didn't return it to Target.
You know, I tried it a second time without a leave-in and I actually preferred those results. Mine remained moisturized the whole time. I think I did 7 days before washing it off. My main thing with it is I wish it provided more longevity.
I have mixed feelings towards this gel. It always ends up being sticky and I was told it wasn't completely dry. I then tried using less it didn't give the hold I needed 😒🤷🏾♀️
I did not experience any stickiness, thank God. But my hair felt super soft. Not sure if it has anything to do with the leave-in I used before applying it. Yes, the hold is not there. Do you use any leave-in before applying the gel?
Your review was spot on. When I first saw the texture I thought it would be like the kinky curly custard because it gives me hold. This one was to soft. Yes I don’t see a lot of people talking about this gel. I ‘be seen few reviews. I think next try I use I will combine with the mousse. I get what you’re saying about the climate. Last time I went to Florida even in March my hair would puff out. You need Extra hold.
Thank you! Yes Florida weather is coocoo. Lol! You know, I read on their website that the gel is better used alone for best results, so next time I'll try it without any leave-in to see what happens.

Ooooooh I’m starting to get this whole two gel topper thing now 😮 Feel free to explain more 😂

Why thank you for that update.

This is such a good tip. I'm going to try since I didn't like the wash n go with pop lock.
First time using, yes, it took a while to fully dry, no flakes, nice,shiny and looks wet when it dried, my hair was defined and wavy , I hope it will last a couple of days.
How long did it last you?

Just bought it at Walmart and since I don't want to sleep on it we'll try it in the morning before going to work.
Hope it works out for you.

It took a long time to dry. Leaving in florida my wash and go did not last with this product. To me your review is totally correct!!!!
Hey Jessica, thank you! Do you still use it?
@@Leaveit2Nessa no I do not use it anymore also mine gave me a sticky feel even when my hair is fully dried
Can you try The Doux Pop Lock gel please? It is supposed to be a strong hold product and I would like to know how it would work for 4C kinks. Thanks!
Hair looks great sis😍 this is my favorite gel for a wash n go💛
Thank you! Do you usually pair it with anything else or do you use it alone?
@@Leaveit2Nessa I use this gel alone I find it to be hydrating enough to not require a leave in.
@@s.w3645 next time I will use it alone. I read on the website as well that it is suggested to use it alone.
@@Leaveit2Nessa please do an update video of the gel only wash and go
I’ve seen a few UA-cam videos on it haven’t tried it tho.I live in Louisiana I agree about the medium to strong hold gel it can get very humid here
Once that humidity hits, you can for get about it unless you had good hold to begin with. You’re creole? I love it!
@@Leaveit2Nessa You live next door so u get it and yes🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I live in a dry climate but I’m going to give it another try.
Maybe you would have had a medium hold if you used it without a leave-in as instructed.

@@Leaveit2Nessa ok. I will try it that way. I'm still working on my wash n go.
Let me know how it goes. Use as much water as possible.

Big poppa gel is the best. my hair is super define and have no crunch i dont love crunch anymore
