Biotera

Favorite gel, perfect for my 2C/3A wavy/curly hair. It defines and holds better than any other I’ve purchased. It is reasonably priced and easily available at Sally Beauty. The best thing about this gel is that it defines and holds but hair is soft, shiny, and touchable, when using this product; which is not usually the case for me when using gel. I typically find gel leaves my hair crunchy and hard. Trying to break a gel cast results in undefined waves/curls that are overly fluffy and not how I like my hair to be. Most surprising to me is the shine. Being a brunette I find my hair has less light reflecting qualities than fair-haired beauties however this gel gives my hair a glorious looking sheen to it. Almost as though I have used styling oil (which I typically only put on the ends if needed), and hard to achieve on wavy/curly hair.

Worst ever i got the copper colour and platinum and copper seems fine however platinum is not. After perfectly highlighting my hair and restoring it with a protein treatment it was like silk i tried the platinum tint. I was left with a sticky sap like residue on my scalp and roots of hair the rest of my hair feels like rubber, it’s thinned out like half my amount of hair is gone. Now i look like i’m balding at my roots you can see through my hair at the scalp due to this sticky residue that will not come off or so i hope anyways. I’ve used purifying shampoo, coconut oil and more and shampooed like crazy and nothing is removing this sap residue from my scalp/hair. The only strange thing i noticed about the conditioner was it had small white balls mixed in with the light purple coloured conditioner, i’m wondering if that what caused this to happen. I’ll never ever use anything from this brand again in my life, my hair is ruined dead dry thin and sticky now, plus the toning effect is unnoticeable, now i’m full of brass and ugly orange/rust tones from all this shampooing and having to try using the purifying shampoo to remove it. It won’t come out though and i do not know how to get this sticky sap residue off my scalp and hair!!!! Use at your own risk i’m not joking or overreacting. I had no idea a conditioning treatment could cause such problems. I’ve ruined my hair many times with bleach and other things and i’ve had my hair melt from bleach and even that was better than what i’m having from using this stuff and way easier to fix, this is unfixable. If i had a wig i would shave my head right now and deal with a few months or wig wearing. I mean this is stupid my roots of hair are stuck to my scalp like it’s been glued to my head.

Way too thick, difficult to spray and not moisturizing enough. I was hoping for a dupe of Matrix Biolage Daily Leave In but this did not deliver at all. Left my hair dry and tangled. Would not repurchase.
