FAVORITE GEL

[soslychic]

I'm looking for a gel to tame, shine and define the little 4a curls popping out at my roots. It's a toss up between

fantasia hair polisher gel with sparklites (i know i didn't spell that right

)

fantasia frizz buster straightening gel

elasta qp feels like silk

Any opinions?

 

[Nessa]

The only gels I would trust are World of Curls Activator Gel, or Aloe Vera Gel. Those are the best, that straighten the hair out.

What do you mean by straighten hair out? Did you use it to straighten your new growth a little or do you mean straighten out when you pull hair back?

 

[jainygirl]

i'm glad you started this thread because i have this new hair starting to grow in around my hairline and i need to find something to gel it down that wont dry it out and break it off.

 

[Nessa]

Oh sorry soslychic, I wasn't clear enough,

I meant straighten out when you pull the hair back.

 

[soslychic]

Thanks Nessa

 

[Nessa]

Lol, you are welcome, Soslychic

My personal fav is Fantasia Frizz Buster Straightening Gel. It has uv protection and no alcohol. It isn't drying and does a good job at smoothing without flaking. I mix mine with Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade and use a scarf for hold.

[sithembile]

Aloe vera gel is good.

Thanks hairlove. Do you do that only when pulling your hair back or for other styles?

 

[ChasingBliss]

I loooove Fantasia Frizz Buster Straightening Gel. It really works for the smoothing of the hair and hair line, especially if you are several weeks post relaxer.

 

[inthepink]

I only use it twice a week when I wash my hair. I typically don't use it again till I wash again.

And just how long is that list now, Allandra??

 

[Allandra]

It's not long at all (4 products so far). I will not be over doing it in 2004.

 

[Michelle79]

Ditto on the Fantasia Frizz Buster Gel!!

 

[Peachtree]

Aloe Vera Gel is my fav

Fantasia Frizz Buster, Proclaim Activator Gel & Smooth 'N Shine are all a close 2nd

 

[inthepink]

Peachtree, do you get flakes from using the Proclaim Curl Activating Gel?

Oh, it's all MY fault now?

Anyways, I think you'll like the gel. Not sure about the rollers - hope you can find a good price for them. I paid $19.99 at Walgreens for mine.

 

[Allandra]

HairLove,

I've seen them around for $19.99 (and nothing lower). How many did you get with your set/kit?

 

[inthepink]

Allandra - I got 12 total in my set.

When I want my hair extra smooth and glossy I use Smooth 'N' Shine Conditioning Gel. On my hair, it builds up pretty fast so I almost always wash my hair the day after I use it, otherwise anything else I put in my hair will just sort of sit on top of it. But I really do like the gel. It doesn't flake or dry out my hair or anything. It's cheap too

 

[pooh123]

I'm using the Fantasia gel with the sparkalites. It works pretty good on damp hair to give my hair shine and smooth out my new growth for my bun styles.

I'd forgotten about it until you started this thread.

I have been using the Elasta QP Gel and I think I am going
to try the fantasia frizz buster gel to see how it works on
my hair.

 

[keke]

I just used my Elasta QP Glaze, las night and it did well. I was surprised. I did some twisties and i put some on my hair to get it str8 back and yes it did that. Even made my new growth nice and wavy like i wanted it to be. I got some aloe getl from fruit of the earth but that aint workin . But i love that elasta
