Product Review - Gummy Plus Gel

Bonjour tout le monde!

So I'm back at it again with a product review for you guys as I know that this seems to be a hit for the majority of you. Today I'm reviewing the Gummy Plus Gel. I think its worth me pointing out before I start that many naturalistas are looking for gel qualities in edge controls. What I mean by this is, there are very clear distinctions between the role of an edge control and that of a gel.

Edge Control: is used to lay and hold your edges for a period of time. Don't tend to give an ultra strong hold but last for the vast majority of the day and slicks down your baby hairs.

Gel: is used when trying to slick down a part of your hair for example when trying to achieve a slicked hairstyle such as a ponytail. These are designed to give a long lasting hold and tend to set making your hair feel hard depending on how much product is applied.

Many people try and use an edge control to slick all of their hair back and complain that it doesn't hold their hair at all. It wasn't designed for that! Good, now I'm glad that's cleared up, I can get on with the review!

My favourite edge control to use is my Jireh Edge Control since I've found that, from many reviews and my own personal use, it provides the best result on my hair. I've also been using Gorilla Snot as the gel on my hair however it can create a buildup and become to heavy on my hair so I thought I'd source another gel. After a long time of searching, I discovered the Gummy Hair Gel which is said to be the best hair gel for natural black hair so naturally, that sold it to me, They have many different variations of strengths but I decided to buy the strongest, Gummy Plus which is the extreme, extra strong hold. This cost me £4.99 for a 220ml tub on Amazon.

When it first arrived, as I am with every new product, I was too excited to try it. The consistency of the gel looked very thick so I was weary to put on too much gel however I was wrong. It's very light upon application and provides a good hold when even only a small amount has been applied. I only used this on my edges as I'm currently wearing braids however I'll be sure to do another review when I try to attempt to achieve a slicked back hairstyle. This was brilliant and didn't go on too heavily which enabled me to style my edges as desired. The hold lasted all day even through sweating so I'd say that this is a very good gel and I'd recommend this alongside the Jireh Edge Control.

I hope this review was helpful, please feel free to message me if there's any products you'd like me to try and give a review on, I'm open to everything!

Au revoir x
