If you have curly hair you MUST try the gel. I have searched high and low and I have been using Batia and Aleeza's products for over 2 years and would be lost without them.

this is a great gel for wavy frizzy hair. it is very runny but doesnt make you feel like you have tons of product in your hair. you get a huge bottle and i think it will last a long time. i have tried many gels over the years and so far I really like this one the best . I also bought the shampoo and conditioner and I love them as well.

This is, hands down, the *BEST* gel I have ever used.

I have thick, wavy/curly 2b/2c color treated hair. This gel gives me great definition, wonderful shine, and lasting hold. This gel stands up to humid summer weather and always gives me consistent results.

I have been using this gel for over 1 1/2 years...and hope they NEVER discontinue it!

The price for a bottle of it may seem steep, however a bottle seems to last forever....and I have a ton of hair and use a generous amount of this product on an almost daily basis.

I highly recommend all wavys/curlies give it a try.

I agree with the raves on this product. It is the only styling product for curly hair that didnt leave me with a gunky, producty feel. My hair is wavy to curly, and this leaves it well separated, curly, not frizzy and shiny. It also smells wonderful! It is runny, but that makes it easy to apply. I use it on wet hair prior to "plopping" in a microfiber towel. I apply it on the whole length both on the outer layer and bottom layer of my hair, then scrunch it into my ends while flipped over. I scrunch a bit with a towel then plop. Amazing results and I get second-day hair from this too.

This product is one of the few that I have classified as belonging to my Hair Product Hall of Fame. It is simply amazing and is by far my favorite product for styling my hair in its (naturally) curly state. As another reviewer mentioned, it is thin and watery, but once you get the hang of using it, you'll never look back.

My favorite aspects about this gel are that it makes my hair shiny and my curls frizz-free. I also love the fact that at the end of the day, my hair doesn't have that gunky product-y feel it has with some other products I've used. It also doesn't weigh my hair down, which is great because I like my hair to have volume and bounce.

I get the best results by rinsing my hair upside down, then while I'm still in the shower, with sopping wet hair, I apply a few puddles and finger comb them through. I apply a few more puddles, scrunch 'em in. Then I gently blot with a microfiber towel and scrunch in a few more puddles (it's not as much product as it sounds like, trust me). I diffuser dry and ta-da! Gogeous, shiny curls that last all day.

If you have curly hair, you owe it to yourself to try this stuff.

This is one of the worst hair gels that I have ever purchased! I have naturally curly hair and was looling for a product to style my hair with that was made especially for curly hair. Well, I heard about this stuff off of Naturallycurly.com, and decided to give it a try last year. I am so sorry that I ever wasted my money on this stuff! It is loaded with proteins which dried out my hair after using it for a few days. It is not thick but has a liquid runny consistency which makes it a bit messy to use as well!

My hair was left looking like straw after I used this stuff, unfortunately! I only wish that I could rate this stuff a "0" instead!

I discovered this product on naturallycurly.com, and it has become my HG styler. This "gel" is very tricky to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's truly a wonderful product. It's a very liquid consistency, even more so than Aura Hypo-allergenic. I have to apply it in very small puddles, or it would drip out through my fingers. While it's a bit inconvenient at first, this consistency makes it very easy to distribute, so you can easily control how much to use. If I want a light hold, I use 2 small puddles. For stronger hold, I use 4 puddles. If I use a lot, it does dry crunchy, but the crunch is very easy to scrunch out. It gives me defined, piecey, shiny curls that hold all day. It feels very light, and doesn't feel producty or gunky even if you use too much. The scent is very light and doesn't linger. All the ingredients are water soluble, so it works well on a Curly Girl or low-shampoo routine. It's also alcohol-free, so it won't dry hair out. At $18.50 the price seems high, but the bottle is much larger than most products (16 oz) and lasts a long time since you don't need to use much product. I suspect it would also work well on straight hair to add control and shine, or help set hair in rollers. It does contain protein, so it might not work for those with a protein sensitivity. Other than that, I would recommend this gel to anyone in a heartbeat.
