Why "gel is damaging" is a myth! 🚫 If you’ve had a bad experience with gel… it might not be you - it might just be the wrong gel for you. ❌ Here's the truth: ❗ Gel isn’t damaging. ❗ Not all gels are drying, sticky, or crunchy forever. ✅ The right gel gives your waves and curls hold, reduces frizz, and helps your style last - without daily rewashing. ✅ That crunch? That’s the cast - and it’s a good thing! You can always scrunch it out once your hair is dry for a softer look and feel. How do you feel about using gel on your waves and curls? How many have your tried? Share your favorite! ⬇️ 📲 Want to find out more about YOUR hair plus get personalized product recommendations?
