Overview
Not a light curl cream, this SheaMoisture gel is built for strong hold on slicked-back styles. Castor seed oil, shea butter and linseed oil add shine while the gel tames flyaways for ponytails, buns and braids.
An alcohol-free formula holds sleek styles without the dry, crunchy feel some gels leave. The sweet fruity scent may bother anyone who prefers unscented products.
Who it's for
Slicked-back styles that need to last from morning to night. People with fine straight hair may find the oils too heavy.
Pros and cons
- Strong all day hold
- Adds shine, tames flyaways
- No parabens or mineral oil
- Fair Trade shea butter
- Sweet scent is strong
- Oils may weigh down fine hair
Performance notes
Gel polymers set into a film that locks strands in place as they dry, while the plant oils coat the surface to add shine and block frizz. Applying to damp hair and smoothing with a brush gives the sleekest finish.
