It's the kind that makes your hair as hard as Aphogee Two Step does? Do any of you ladies use it?
Well, I used to use that mess like EVERY day in high school. I stopped using it, along with grease, when I got to college and vowed that I would NEVER use it again. I thought it was what jacked my hair up to the point that I BARELY had enough hair to pull into a ponytail
Now it's funny to me that I had so little hair. 
But to be sure, it really hurt back then.
Anyway, I broke the vow. I used the brown gel in my hair the other night and I am thinking about using it again and perhaps on a regular basis.
I'll be 16 weeks post at the end of this week and I have a TWA under all my relaxed ends. Even if I tie my hair down to flatten it, it looks poofed and unkempt again in no time. I had an event to go to and I wanted to lay my hair DOWN. I knew that the brown gel would get the job done so I went for it. I slapped it, slicked it, and did a diagonal french braid across the back of my head and stuck a flower in it. It was cute and sorry, I don't have pics.
Ok, so the reason I will probably use the gel again is because it stopped me from playing in my new growth, which I can never stop myself from doing. Also, the style lasted me all day the next day and would still be in now and looking fine if I had not washed it out today. This means I could go days with NO MANIPULATION, forget about low manipulation. Weavers get to experience this too but weave is not for me.
Soooo I'm thinking that I will gel it up, where it for three days, then wash it out, deep condition, etc. and start all over again. I will do this every time I get deep into my stretch. I don't think the protein will be a problem because my relaxed hair does well with protein.
The problem was not the gel but that i was silly enough to comb and brush hair that was hard with protein. Of course I had a whole list of other bad hair habits that I didn't know were bad at the time that probably also contributed to the extremely short hair.

My dad touched it and called it a turtle shell. My boyfriend was like 
erplexed. But like you said, if it works for me...
