Taliah Waajid Green Apple & Aloe Nutrition Hold Me Down Gelle Strong Hold & Nourishment for All Hair Types 12 oz
Strong hold and flaking usually arrive together. This gelle gives you the first without the second, which is why it ends up in so many braiders' kits.
Green apple extract and aloe vera do the conditioning work, so the hold does not come at the cost of the hair underneath. The texture is a gelle rather than a gel: softer going on, easier to spread through a section, and it dries down without a sticky top layer.
- Strong, long-lasting hold with no white flakes
- Green apple extract and aloe vera condition as it sets
- Defines curls and smooths edges and partings
- Holds updos, ponytails and sleek styles through the day
12oz jar, which is a working size rather than a trial one.
It suits all hair types, though it earns its keep most on textured hair being pulled into styles that have to survive a week of weather, pillows and gym sessions.

Application tips
Damp hair takes this better than dry. Smooth it over the section you are laying or setting, then brush or comb it into place before it starts to grab, because it will not move much afterwards.
For a sleek pony or a bun, work in thin layers and tie a scarf over the top for ten minutes. Wash it out rather than layering over yesterday's application.
Results
Hold that lasts a full day and into the evening, with edges and updos staying where you put them. No white flaking as it dries, and no sticky pull when you touch the hair.
Styles keep a bit of movement instead of setting like a helmet, and the finish is a soft shine. It comes out with water rather than needing to be picked off.
Composition
- Green Apple
- Fruit botanical that stops the gel feeling drying on the strand
