Our Take
A maximum-hold gel from the Pomegranate & Honey range, protein-free and specifically designed for the multiple ways Type 4 natural hair is worn beyond wash-and-gos. Use it to elongate and define coils for an air-dried style, smooth and sleek ponytails and puffs that need to hold through the day, or secure pineapples and protective styles in place overnight. Strong hold with no heavy white cast or flaking. Protein-free status makes it safe for protein-sensitive hair that needs strong control — a less common combination in maximum-hold gels, most of which rely on protein-based polymers for their hold.
