Solutions For Flaky/stiff Styling Creams And Gels by NappyMimi(f): 10:56pm On May 08, 2015
Note: I have natural hair but this applies to everyone

I’ve seen a lot of people having
problems with gels and styling creams,so I
decided to write this to wrap up this
week’s posts

Let’s start with styling gels

When I was relaxed,I used black
gels,which made my hair very stiff.I
couldn’t comb my hair after except I
washed it off.I thought it was normal and
correct. When I returned natural,I totally
avoided gels & activators of all kinds.

Most gels leave flakes & residue on hair
after drying.Some provide hold but makes
our hair stiff & plastered to our scalp. I
hate all these problems & didn’t want to
risk my hair breaking like a twig.

I don’t recommend black gels.A
colourless gel is better.These solutions are
very easy & your choice depends on you.

Solutions to gels that flake & make hair
stiff.

1) Make a curling pudding with the gel.
See my post How to make a curling
pudding from just 3 basic ingredients you
already have. It leaves your hair
moisturized while still providing hold.

2) Add an oil:
Favorites include olive,coconut & castor oil
among others.An oil prevents your hair
from drying out.Few gels like ecostlyer gel
with olive oil,comes with an oil.If yours
doesn’t,just add an oil.

No 2 is ideal for those whose hair gets
weighed down with too much products &
need light products.
