Ok, onto the stuff.
So I have 2 gels that I like:
Long Aid Activator Gel
I have the kind for extra dry hair. I like this gel because it's actually very moisturizing but don't worry, it doesn't leave my hair looking like I have a jheri curl. LOL. Some of the ingredients include panthenol, aloe vera gel, and glycerin. It doesn't give me enough hold though so I like to use it underneath Eco-Styler styling gel.
This gel gives me the hold I want but can make my hair crunchy when used alone so I like to use it with the Long Aid Activator Gel or another moisturizing product (like aloe vera gel or leave-in conditioner) underneath it.
I'm sure I will not use these gels forever. So these work for now but b/c they are not Eco-chic and don't have the "safest" ingredients according to the Cosmetic Database, I will continue to look for more natural yet just as effective alternatives. I still have to try the flaxseed gel recipe; it might be that natural alternative for me.
What hair gels do you like?

I use World of Curls lite hair gel-original jheri care juice! It holds my hair for upswept styles without flaking or getting too clammy but I dare not read the ingredients. I would love to use something more natural but don't know what. I know this post was written in April- have you found any alternatives since then?
I love Smooth and Shine Curl activator gel, curl goddess gel and wonder curl jelly. They all work GREAT!!!
