I have always tried to find a gel that would hold my curls without being crunchy or making it frizzy....This is my favorite styling gel! I swear by it! I love it! I have a head full of thin 3c/4a hair and this is the only styling gel that doesn't break up the curls and leave them all wavy. Its really cheap and when used with a good leave in (next product spotlight) it works wonders! Give it a try. I got this size gel for $2.99 at Sally's! Here's me with a wash and go with the gel!
