Sof n Free Sofn'free Black Castor Oil Anti-Dandruff Afro Styling Gel for Afro Hair 500 ml/16.91 oz
A styling gel with the anti-dandruff side built in, which saves a step when the scalp needs attention and the style needs holding. The 500 ml tub is a working size, sensible if you style several times a week. It covers sleek ponytails, defined curls, twists and edges.
Black castor oil is the ingredient the formula leans on, rich in omega fatty acids and there to keep the scalp moisturised while the gel does the holding. The finish is a natural shine rather than a greasy one, and it sets without flaking or leaving residue behind.
What it does
- Firm, long-lasting hold for afro styling and definition
- Formulated to fight dandruff and soothe scalp irritation
- Black castor oil supports scalp moisture
- Leaves a natural shine with no flaking or residue
How to use it
Detangle first, then work on clean hair, damp or dry. Dispense a generous amount into your palms, more or less depending on length, thickness and how firm you want the hold. Spread it evenly from roots to ends, concentrating where you want the most grip. Sculpt with your fingers, a comb or a brush, then air dry, or use a diffuser on cool for volume without frizz.
Made for afro hair, from sleek ponytails to twists and defined curls. 500 ml / 16.91 oz.

Application tips
Start with the hair detangled and clean, since gel laid over yesterday's product goes patchy and flakes. Damp is easier to work with than dry.
Take a generous scoop, more for longer hair, and smooth it the way the style is going: back for a ponytail, along the parts for twists, forward at the edges. Tie a scarf over it while it sets, then leave it until fully dry.
Results
It grips and keeps gripping. A sleek ponytail holds its line all day and twists keep their definition instead of loosening by the afternoon.
Nothing turns chalky as it dries, so there is no white line at the parting and nothing shedding onto a collar. It finishes with a soft gloss rather than a wet look, and the castor oil stops the scalp feeling tight under a style that pulls.
