How do I remove the gel?

Wash the hair with a sulfate-free shampoo and condition as usual.

Is this product safe for sensitive skin?

While the formula is gentle, it's always best to perform a patch test before full application, especially if your child has sensitivities.

Can I use this on wet or dry hair?

It can be applied to both wet and dry hair, but application on damp hair typically provides the best results.

The hold can last all day, depending on the hair type, the amount of product used, and environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting

Hair appears stiff or crunchy after application.

Use less product or apply to wetter hair. The gel can be diluted with water.

White flakes are visible.

You may have used too much product, or the hair wasn't clean before application. Rinse the hair and reapply a smaller amount.

The hold doesn't last all day.

Ensure the hair is properly prepped with a good leave-in conditioner or moisturizer. Also, consider the weather; humidity can affect hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No special setup is required. The gel is designed for direct application to the hair. Ensure hair is clean and conditioned before use for optimal results. To care for the product, store it in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent drying out. The product is compatible with most hair types, but it's always advisable to do a patch test, especially if your child has sensitive skin or allergies. Compatibility is highest for textured hair types like curls and waves, and less suited for pin-straight hair.

Application Tips

  1. Start with a small amount of gel.
  2. Apply evenly, focusing on the areas you want to hold or define.
  3. Use fingers or a brush for styling.
  4. Allow the hair to air dry or use a diffuser for faster drying.
  5. Avoid applying too much product, which can lead to stiffness.
