A good gel for a transitioner?

[vestaluv1]

Hi,
This is especially 4 the ladies that are transitioning without big chopping. but anyone is welcome to answer if you have any ideas.
I'd like to use a gel on my hair because my new growth is getting a little outta control.
I'm scared to used gel coz I can't seem to find a gel that won't leave my hair dry and as hard as a rock. I gotta look after that demarcation.

This was the new growth 12 weeks post relaxer, and it looks like my crown has grown out fastest.

No gel here, but I use castor oil. It's thick and lays my hair down. I'm 100% natural and it works for me. There are some BSS products that people use that might be gentle on the strands.

I use a little of lenzi request to moisturize my scalp real good and also apply it to my edges also. I then come back and use the Nexxus vitatress biotin creme and massage it in to my edges. The biotin creme slciks my edges down real nice and tame the fuzz.

I love Garnier Fructis Gel Extra hold. comes in a tube. I brought like 3 of them and it keeps my hair moisturized and curled all day. Love that stuff.

I tried Fantasia IC Gel and it didnt really work too well for my hair.

The J/A/S/O/N brand leaves my hair hard... great for braidouts but when i want just my edges slicked down, its a bit much

I use Nexxuss Biotin creme but if ya have no thin edge problems, its a bit pricey to use just to slick down your edges

for just the slicked down look, I like Nexxus Exxtra gel for just my edges & nape ... I also like Elasta QP for my edges & nape

Long Aid Curl Activator gel from Walmart should be moisturizing for your new growth, you can apply it often, it shouldn't get hard, and you won't get white build-up.

Yup this is a good one too! I mainly use Fantasia IC Gel w/Sparkelites (blue one) and it doesn't get hard at all in my hair. I sometimes alternate with these 2 plus some plain aloe vera gel mixed with some jojoba oil.

The aloe vera jojoba mix sounds good!
