Braids and twists come apart at the parting first. This gel is built for that moment, with a firm hold that still has some give in it, so a fresh set of cornrows or box braids stays neat past the first week without the roots feeling cemented in place.

It dries clear and stays clear. No white residue at the parting, no flaking when you run a finger along a twist, and none of the sticky drag you get from a gel that never fully sets. The finish is clean rather than greasy, which matters when a style is going to sit for a few weeks.

Firm but flexible hold for braids, twists, cornrows and box braids
Smooths the parting and keeps sections tidy as you work
Dries clear with no flaking or crunch
Useful for tidying locs between retwists

Use it section by section as you braid, rather than smoothing it over the finished style. 8 oz / 227 gm, and it suits anything from 2c waves through to 4a coils.

Application tips

Work in sections on damp hair. Take a small amount, smooth it down the length of the section, then braid or twist straight away while the gel is still wet. For edges, use a brush and lay them before the gel starts to set. It holds where you put it, so place it once rather than reworking it. Let it air dry or sit under a hooded dryer. Do not re-wet it to restyle - take it down and start again.

Results

A firm hold on braids, twists and cornrows that lasts past the first week without the roots feeling cemented. It dries clear and stays clear. No white residue at the parting, no flaking along a twist, and none of the sticky drag you get from a gel that never quite sets. The parting stays neat, which is usually the first place a protective style starts to look tired.

Composition

No mineral oilNo sulphatesNo parabens

Marula Oil: Softens the hair as you braid, so sections pull cleanly instead of snagging
Aloe Vera: Keeps moisture in the strand while the style sets
Shea Butter: Seals the length and takes the tight feel out of a fresh braid
