OUIDAD Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel, 2.5 Fl oz

I live in Dubai (its humid round the year) and this product definitely doesn’t hold its claim. I was disappointed. Glad I tried the travel size instead of the regular one

I have difficult hair. Texture runs from fine to coarse (finer hair on crown and canopy, coarse hair on the lower sections). I also have a LOT of hair. Curl pattern ranges from almost straight to s-waves to medium corkscrew/ringlet curls. For porosity, most of my hair is low porosity, although the coarser bottom layer has some medium-porosity strands. Given that my hair has such great variation, it’s really hard to find products that work for my entire mane. This gel works GREAT for my hair! My best approach for styling has been leave-in conditioner plus lightweight curl cream plus gel that dries to a cast, which I then scrunch out once dry. This gel is wonderful for that. I still experience small amounts of halo frizz (practically unavoidable with my hair. Since the topmost layer is finer, the strands that grow straighter on top refuse to join curl families. If I attempt to finger-curl those baby flyaways they might stay together, but will be practically straight). But overall, gel hold is really good and works over at least two days (I’m on day 3 today- still have some nice bouncy curls despite minimal refresh). This gel doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry or limp, so it works in my routine to maintain my ideal protein/moisture balance levels. Also, I’m highly sensitive to fragrance, especially floral scents. I was concerned when I opened my trial-size bottle to break the seal. It was a mild scent, but definitely floral. I needn’t have been worried though. The fragrance isn’t heavy, and completely disappeared once my hair was dry and I scrunched out the gel cast. On days I’m looking for springier curls, this is quickly going into regular rotation. My other almost-holy-grail product (verb foaming gel) works best for softer/tamer curls For background: despite trying multiple approaches and various levels of fidelity to the curly-girl method, I’ve found my best bet is to find products that work for my hair, no matter whether they include forbidden ingredients. Despite having self-admitted difficult hair, it’s extremely tolerant to sulfates and water-soluble silicones. The strict curly girl method was a complete fail for my hair over the 1-2 years+ I attempted it. I’ve spent the past few years trying various products to see what works for me.

Lo usé en un clima húmedo con otro producto para peinar y parecía que no use nada, mi pelo se esponjo.

This product was recommended by my hair girl. Its the only thing that tames my frizzy hair in the summer. I will be buying this again. Scent is fine, its not overbearing or heavy.

For Irish curls or 2C dry hair, this provides a good amount of moisture. It did a moderately good job of holding the curls of the outer layer, but inner hair curls stretched out. My hair maintained its softness and wasn't sticky to apply. I do feel like their are other products that are a better money value, but maybe that will change as we use the product for longer.

Great product! Does not flake on hair, holds styles well. I have a short curly style and needed my curls to pop but also be moisturized. It did the job!
