Gel is a NEED in many naturals lives but it’s also hard to find the best ones. I’ve created a small list of hair gels with pros and cons to help pick what’s best for you.
- Uncle Funky’s

Pros: Healthy ingredients! Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Aqueous-Infused Extracts of Marshmallow, Chamomile, Nettle & Horsetail, Vitamin E, Agave Nectar Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate & Natural Fragrance
Gives a good hold without drying, defines curls
Cons: Can feel sticky on the hands, A little pricey
2. Camille rose curl maker

Pros: Good ingredients! Sweet extracts of marshmallow and agave are melted into a gourmet oil base of coconut and pomegranate, then layered with botanical juices of seaweed and aloe. We finish with an enriching infusion of vitamins E and B-12 for optimal hair nourishment. Moisturizing hair gel, hold for finer curls
Cons: thicker or kinkier hair types might not get as much desired hold, defines curls, a little pricey
3. Wetline extreme

Cons: ingredients contain a lot of chemicals, can be very drying, need to be used with hydrating products
Pros: creates an amazing hold, very affordable, UV protection
4. Eco styler

Pros: affordable, a lot of naturals “go to” easily accessible, creates a good hold. Has many different types ex: olive oil, organ oil, and many more
Cons: contains a lot of chemicals , could be drying if not used with hydrating products
From research and using every single one of the gels I would have to say including definition, moisture, and health reasons I would go with Uncle Funky’s as the best gel. I think as naturals it’s important that you use products that help your hair in the long run.
Although if you are doing quick styles and not a full wash n go routine then I would be okay with using eco styler but I’ve learned it’s better to just spend the money now and not deal with the damage later.
