FAQs
How much product should I use?
Start with a small, dime-sized amount and add more as needed based on your hair length and thickness. It’s always easier to add more than to remove excess product.
Can I use this gel with other hair products?
Yes, but be mindful of the ingredients. For best results, use it with products that do not contain silicones if you want to maintain the sulfate and silicone-free benefits.
How long does the hold last?
The hold can last all day, depending on the environment and your hair type. For optimal hold, avoid touching your hair excessively while it dries.
Is this gel suitable for fine hair?
The strong hold may be too heavy for very fine hair. Use it sparingly and see how your hair responds.
How do I remove the gel from my hair?
Wash your hair thoroughly with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove the gel. Condition and style as usual.
Can I use this gel on color-treated hair?
Yes, the product is safe for color-treated hair. Always do a patch test if you have sensitive skin.
What is the shelf life after opening?
The product is best used within 12 months after opening.
Does this product protect hair from heat?
No, this product does not provide heat protection. Always use a separate heat protectant spray before using heat styling tools.
Troubleshooting
Gel appears flaky after application.
Ensure the gel is applied to wet hair. Avoid over-applying; start with a small amount and add more as needed.
Curls lack definition.
Use a sufficient amount of gel and use a styling technique to enhance curl definition, such as raking or shingling.
Hair feels stiff or crunchy.
Apply the gel to extremely wet hair. Use less product, and avoid touching the hair while it dries to minimize disruption.
