As I Am Smoothing Gel, 8 Ounce

This is my go to styling product. I use it along with the co-wash or clarifying shampoo, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, the twist defining cream, then the gel. I like As I Am products as they play well together. This item is a must try. Not everyone will like it, because we all have personal preferences when it comes to styling, but you won't know unless you try it.The AIA smoothing gel is better than the AIA curling jelly IMHO. The consistency is light and very smooth. Even though it's light it really holds my twist n curl style. Just make sure to allow your hair to dry and set. I find that if I use this with two strand twists rolled on flexirods it will take 24 hrs to dry and another day to reach the perfect curl set. I like to start the style with tighter curls as they will stretch when I re-twist at night. I have very long thick, kinky curly hair (3C-4A,B) if that helps gauge with my drying recommendations.Note I've never had issues with flaking or white dots with this gel even if I reapply to reset the style a few days later. You will need a clarifier though if you restyle multiple times and have an extended wash period. I don't find the As I Am clarifier to be overly drying. It cleans the products without stripping. Just make sure to moisturize after.Also, IMHO this is not a holding gel equivalent to something like a firm level Eco styling gel. This gel is meant to be used as a styler and compliments other styling products and leave ins without adding build up. Which is the opposite of a heavy gel. If you're looking for something to lay thick, or kinky, or coily edges this is probably not for you. If you have wavy hair with an elongated curl pattern like 2C-3A this might help your edges look more tidy, but I emphasize this is not like a firm Eco styling gel. But, if you want something to help fight frizz, and make your twists or coils smooth and hold their style this may be exactly what you're looking for.

Seems to be Malassezia safe. Works for bleached curls. I absolutely love the smell of coconut. ♥️

Love this gel it's smooth and leaves no flakes or drying effect

MELTS LIKE BUTTER IN 4C HAIR. THICK AND EFFECTIVE. GREAT MOISTURE. LAST 3 DAYS DOESNT WASH OFF HANDS WITHOUT SOAP BUT NOT REAL GREASY. Hair did not break like it used to

Fast shipping! This gel works so well! It has great hold and no white cast! Will order again!

My favorite and only heel i will use , works great with my hair texture , especially for my sleek looks waves poppin

it's ok it doesn't make my hair hard which is great as I normally get hard hair using gel but this stuff is nice, however I have 4c hair and it doesn't smooth my edges for long so I will try something else. This would probably work great for 3c hair but not for thick hair it doesn't have enough hold.

I love the texture and I love the way it makes my hair feel not hard. Just nice and wavy.

He probado muchos geles de peinado pero este es el mejor sin duda algunaEl unico pero es que el producto es un poco caro para la cantidad que tiene.Por lo de más,lo recomiendo 😉

I’m not quite sure I used the product right but as far as I can tell it’s really good. It slicks back the hair without looking oily and it stays in the hair if you want it to. I recommend.

Acheté afin de réaliser mes dread. Ce gel est parfait ! Il n'emet pas d'odeur désagréable. Les résidu sont trèèèèès minime et surtout il n'abime pas le cheveux, tout en faisant une coupe très naturel sans cet effet " gel " que les autres font.Je recommande !

È denso, quindi con poco prodotto e un po’ d’acqua va bene, fa bene la sua funzione!

I use it for a while now , perfect for my hair, helps keep my curls defined
