    When you said "it gives heat damage it typically turns out good" it gave me all the relief because I put it on some of my hair and closed the lid instantly cause it made my hair str8. Now imma have to see what it does for real. Glad I watched this video.

    1. There is no such thing as over explaining in a product review.
    2. You curls are tight and curled and shining but they are MOVING!!!!
    Gorgeous results. Also you didn’t have to use a ridiculous amount, so that price point might be ok

    Last year I moved to another state and had to change my products as my wash and goes we’re no longer holding. I started using this and it has been my go to. The plus about this line is that you can use this for a wash and go AND braid out as well!!! It’s definitely hands down I feel the best gel on the market and a plus as it’s a Black-owned!

    I have kinky, course sense hair that shrinks like crazy-would be in the type 4 category for reference. I don’t do soaking wet wash n gos. More like 90% dry and I mist as needed. This gel turned my hair straight as well but it springs right on up as it dries.

    I love The Doux Big Poppa defining gel. Idk if they still have that or if they changed the name but I ordered it last year and still have some left. I use it to retwist my sons locs and there’s no build up and great hold without hardness. I love it!!

    Oh it looks different now use to use it loved it. But before it was crumbly it was like it wasn’t mixed well. Now it’s creamy have to try it again. The pieces use to be falling on the floor. Once you got it on hair looked really nice lol but a struggle struggle
