Hey Ladies!

I've read some really, really good reviews about this product online, but I haven't seen much about it on the board. Supposedly it has a softer finish than most gels when it dries. Has anyone tried this gel, what do you think??

Thanks!

I've tried it and really like it. It does dries softer and with a nice sheen. Plus it's less than $3.00 at a drugstore so worth a try!

I have a whole jar of KCCC that I haven't used. I don't think I like it. I'll try this one when I finish my Eco styler.

I like this gel! Most of it's Aloe Vera, Glycerin and Water. (Not in that order)

I get it when I want to define my ponytails. Smile

Hey Nattie, if you want to get rid of your KCCC let me know; I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

I really like this gel. Once it dries, there's no hard crunch or anything.

Based on everyone's responses, I purchased and tried this gel. I like it. It doesn't make my hair crunchy at all and leaves no residue. The only down side is it doesn't define my hair as much as the eco styler w/argan gel does. So, I figure I will use it on a regular basis, but when I want my super defined curls, I will default to my eco styler.

I purchased this gel as well a few days ago. I used it for the first time last night for a chunky two strand twist out on wet hair. I untwisted this morning - defined results, very very soft and touchable (not hard/crunchy/tacky/sticky at all).

It doesn't provide as much hold for my edges like ECO, but I definitely like it better for a styler to distribute through my hair.
