no residue/flakes/cast after drying (I deep conditioned before applying and topped with whipped shea butter) decent temporary hold for a 'natural' gel (although I only had it in braids, I've heard it has no hold for wash n go's.)

The spreadability is phenomenal! I have 4B hair, and I literally only needed a dime-sized amount on my fingers, and it spread throughout my entire head of hair. thin, no spreadability. Had to use SO MUCH to decently cover my strands. Not worth it for longer hair.

Gel- MIELLE Rosemary Mint Hair Strengthening Edge Gel- MIELLE

CANNOT lay dry kinky hair at all. It kept flyaways down at the initial application where my hair was soaking wet, but it can't lay my edges or my dry flyaways a week later. Who What Wear is part of Future US LLC, an international media group and leading digital publisher. I have fine strands, high porosity, high density, 4b curls, bottom-of-sternum length hair. Used this over the Hawaiian ginger hair butter to do singles/mini braids (no added hair) and used a little more than half the jar. Applied on soaking wet hair. My braids looked nice and sleek upon completion but they did get a slightly frizzy, lived-in look in about a week. The finger coils at the end of my braids have stayed super defined. IF it weren't for the smell I would use this again to do a style that needed a soft hold and decent moisture for a few days, because it doesn't feel like it causes build up at allme. I hate strong artificial smells so after I run through this I will not be repurchasing.
