AlexE - 20 days ago, Verified purchaser
The perfect product! I had been looking all over the place for a gel product that could keep my ocean curly bundles looking wet longer (I don’t like the puffy look as much). Not only does it work, you can just brush it out when you want the hair to revert back to its original state. My husband also uses it for his waves. He puts a small amount in his hair as he’s brushing, before the durag and his waves stay perfectly shiny and in place. It also has no smell, a huge plus. Get it before I buy them all up!

Must have for thin hair

Adri - 22 days ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve been trying to find a good routine for my waves that helps them hold but doesn’t make them frizzy, this is it!! I have pretty thin hair that gets weighed down easily. Just a tiny tiny bit of this goes a long way and has made my curls and waves defined, hold better, and it has loosened them up a bit as well so I have more volume. I am obsessed, I’ve never loved my natural hair more!!

Curls That Slay: Gel is a GAME CHANGER!!!!!!!

Aunt Jackie’s Curls & Coils Don’t Shrink – Elongating Curling Gel: My Honest Review As someone who is passionate about caring for my curls and sharing the best products with my community, I’m always on the hunt for that holy grail product that delivers on its promises. Enter Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink Elongating Curling Gel—a product I was thrilled to try, and let me just say, it exceeded my expectations in so many ways! Why This Gel Stands Out: From the very first application, I could tell this wasn’t just another gel on the shelf. The standout ingredient here is flaxseed, known for its curl-enhancing and hair-strengthening properties. Aunt Jackie’s nailed the balance between definition, elongation, and softness, making this product perfect for achieving bouncy, frizz-free curls. Application and Experience: The gel has a smooth, slippery texture that glides easily through the hair. I love how evenly it distributes without feeling heavy or sticky. The scent is light and refreshing—not overpowering, but enough to leave your hair smelling clean and fresh. For my wash-and-go routine, I applied the gel on top of a leave-in conditioner while my hair was damp. The result? Defined, elongated curls with a soft, natural hold that lasted all day. What I Loved Most: Definition: My curls looked juicy and well-defined without that dreaded crunchy feeling. Elongation: True to its name, this gel noticeably reduced shrinkage, giving my curls more length and movement. Soft, Touchable Finish: Unlike many gels, this one didn’t leave my hair feeling stiff or weighed down—it was soft, lightweight, and bouncy. Frizz Control: It worked wonders in taming frizz, even on a humid day. Tips for Best Results: Pair it with your favorite leave-in conditioner for added moisture. Use it on damp hair and rake it through with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb for even distribution. Air dry for a natural look, or diffuse for extra volume. Why I’m Obsessed: As someone who has tried countless gels, I can confidently say this one delivers on all fronts. It’s affordable, easy to use, and works beautifully on a variety of curl patterns. Whether you’re rocking 3A waves or 4C coils, Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink Gel has your back! My Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a gel that gives your curls life, definition, and elongation without compromising softness, this is it. It’s become a staple in my routine, and I can’t wait to keep sharing the results with my followers. This product is the real deal, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to take their curl game to the next level! Rating: 5/5 🌟 Would I repurchase? Absolutely—this gel has earned a permanent spot on my shelf!
