Reddit mentions of Curls Hair Gel Goddess Glaze Curl Gel, 8 Ounce

True! Okay so i use OGX coconut milk sulfate free shampoo (when I need it) and conditioner, which I've never had a problem with before. And if I just use those, I'm okay. I use this sometimes, which before I had long hair was okay -Curls Goddess Curl Gel but sometimes I use Not Your Mother's Sea Salt Spray if my curls are more relaxed into a wave. I'm anywhere from a 2b to a 3a, just depends on what it's feeling hahaha. My curls get heavy really easily, so I try not to weigh them down besides the obvious of growing them out. I put either product in after I get out and lightly pat dry my hair, and kinda scrunch or whatever plopping motion that is to lightly distribute the product. I try to stay away from the hair under by my neck and by the edges of my face to avoid breakouts, but here we are. Haha. That's about it. They're fairly low maintenance curls/waves.

I have 2A/2B type hair and I have gotten good, non-crunchy results from Curls Goddess Curl Gel. Haven't really bothered to try anything else because this one works great.

creme does not hold up as well as gel does, but i think it looks nicer, on my hair at least.

Maybe you could find a picture of what you want your hair to look like to give me an idea? Like what is your goal, what would you want your hair to look like.

It sounds like you might want more...volume? Your hair seems more on the fine side and like a 3B/3C. I follow the curly girl method, you can learn more about that on the sidebar. I use Yes to Carrots Conditioner, but I'll be stopping that when the new formula makes it to the local grocery stores (they just started adding silicones, but old formula, which is still available near me, doesn't have that in it). And I use Curls Goddess Curls for gel. For creme, I use whatever I find on sale that fits curly girl friendly.

Gel is great for humidity, it also is lighter and helps curls curl better. Cream is heavier, better for dryer conditions because it adds moisture, but it's heavier and will loosen curls.

And you have to find the right balance of conditioner so your hair isn't too weighed down, but also isn't frizzy. For your hair, I'd think a poker chip size amount of conditioner would do and then half of that for the styling product.

Yay! Then maybe if your hair needs clarifying from the water you could buy that other shampoo you found.

Last time I was in real humidity for an extended period of time I used this one. It was pretty good, but I was really on the go so I wasn't being super critical of my hair, so I can't give it a full review.

I was in a slightly humid place and bought the DevaCurl gel and it worked great! But it was more so drizzly rather than wicked humid.
