Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Stronger Hold Gel

I decided to buy this after watching Gena Marie on YouTube. I understand why she loves it so much. This gel is moisturizing and it gives me the hold I want to keep my curls defined. The scent is nice and the texture of the gel is slippery. I like how easy it is to apply this on my hair.

,The humidity control is REAL. My curls get a hold, but they are not crunchy. I love how soft the curls are; even if I move my fingers through my roots for volume or move the hair around, it does not frizz out. It’s magic hahah. It gives me the perfect balance; not too heavy, good hold, no crunch, shine, and frizz control. My curl type is 3B.

I really like this product. I have natural frizzy hair and it helps my frizz look curly. No actual scent , if applied in the right amount it feels good on hair.

This helps with frizz for my naturally curly, gray hair. I never even notice the smell (is there one?). It doesn't have much slip, so I mix it with Pattern gel and it works great. Not at all sticky after it dries and is scrunched out (when used with my other gel, IDK about alone). A little goes a long way, so the cost is reasonable.

Fast forwarding, it works (anti-frizz, handles humidity)--but OMG. I thought I'd lose my mind trying to get the loose hair off my hands! It also retains a little of the "wet look" when I was done diffusing it and combing it with my fingers. What a battle. I haven't yet tried to brush through my hair before shampooing it--so I wonder if I'll have any hair left on my head. This is a tough call. I think you have to decide for yourself: do I have enough patience to work with a product I know in advance is going to be a BIG challenge and stickier than instant glue? Good luck. P.S. If the curl needs a "refresh", just spritz it with a little water and quickly scrunch the sections that need more curl. It will reactivate the super-stickiness, though, too. Be quick.

Really good product and I have been through a TON over the past 10-15 years. I highly recommend this one. Works best on pretty wet-damp hair. I take it through, scrunch it in a little, and then plop it.

This is a gel that does what it claims to do, provide hold, definition and mitigate the effect of the weather.Day 2-3 hair is still defined (with some natural frizz ofc but I don’t mind that), soft, shiny.I will remove one star because this is not the only gel out there that for me has given me the same results and those gels are a little bit more affordable.I have tried the Twist by Ouidad line because I wanted to get something affordable from such a well known brand for curly hair products but after trying those products (the curl gelee, the weather up lotion, the gentle oil shampoo) I can say don’t bother with anything from Ouidad that isnt their “high end” line. Instead I recommend opting for grocery store, pharmacy or if in the US places like TJ Maxx to find better, nourishing curly products.

This is a great product. I used it in Houston, Texas, where there was a ton of humidity at the end of June. I have very curly hair and would definitely buy it again. It left my hair soft and gave my curls great texture.
