  • Perfect for defining my soft curls, and zero problems for my sensitive skin!
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My hair is a wavy/curly/frizz combo with some straightness on top that frizzes too. They’re loose curls and natural ringlets. This styling gel helps define my curls and eliminates the frizz! I get compliments for my hair looking like I spent hours curling it, when I just used this hair gel and spent a couple minutes getting it wet and scrunching! A little goes such a long way, all you need is a pea-sized amount (I have medium length hair). So the value for money is amazing, because this will last me sooo long! If I use more than a pea-sized amount (which isn’t necessary), then it’s easy to get a greasy look and crunchy curls, of course. It’s super easy to put in my hair, and for my hair type I have to always have my hair wet when applying. Then I just put a small amount of the gel on my hands and rub them together, then use the “prayer hands” method! It holds well for I’d say all day, but if I apply it in the evening, it’s not so pretty the next morning, so I just style in the mornings. I don’t recommend using it twice without washing your hair in between, because at least for my hair it becomes crunchy and more tangled when trying to wash out. For my hair type I can’t brush or comb it all all except for after using conditioner (I use vanicream conditioner too and it’s great!), and if I use this hair gel twice before washing, it’s more tangled and I lose more hair. Other than that, it washes out just fine! Also it has no smell at all, and I’m very sensitive to smells, so this is wonderful!! My skin is also sensitive and neither my hands nor my scalp have problems with it! ... show more

  • Pleasantly surprised
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this styling gel! I had originally read that hair gels leave a hard cast or shell, which is why I wasn't sure I'd like this. I was pleasantly surprised. This gel does provide a firm hold for my hair which keeps it where I put it. It holds my hair back instead of it coming forward into my face. Added bonus that it does not leave a hard cast or shell or make me feel like I'm wearing a helmet on my head. My hair is still soft and feels like my hair. Best of all, this gel is completely free of any fragrance. I know some people say they noticed an unpleasant smell, but I didn't notice any scent at all, good or bad. I highly recommend this! ... show more

  • Good styling gel for men, clear, fragrance free.
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have ordered this several times. I recently ordered a new tube with the new name. I haven't tried it yet since I still have some left in the other tube. It's cheap compared to other brands. I am a man with short hair. My allergy/asthma doctor recommended this brand of products. I ordered it because it is fragrance free and clear. I like this styling gel. It holds well. My hair can be easily be touched up if needed. I work it in, comb my hair, then blow dry. I can comb it again later in the day or run my hand through it. It holds very good. It's not sticky. You only need a small amount for short hair. I imagine you need more if your hair is longer. ... show more

  • Trustworthy product
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have thin, straight, gray hair fly-aways that I wash twice weekly. It takes just a minute amount of this product to get those under control and it reactivates the next day by running wet hand through hair and using a big-toothed comb. Love this brand for sensitive skin. Recommended to me by a dermatologist. I use multiple Vanicream skin options. ... show more

  • First hair gel I’ve loved!
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love VaniCream lotion. Have to have scent free. Few are. This gel is remarkable lite as I use it. More of the gel may be greater hold. I wanted a bit more body and a dab applied as directed does wonders to give it more oomph. Without sticky, smelly mess. It gave it shine too. Highly recommend.

  • Helps tame frizzy dry hair without any scent
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I had to start using unscented products due to severe scalp itching, scaling, and bleeding. My dermatologist said it was my nice smelling 'essential oil' Aveda hair products. Vanicare gel doesn't look to hot...it is sort of like clear Vasoline, but it fortunately doesn't make my hair all flat and oily like I was afraid it would. It coats my hair and I use another product that is unscented that is curl enhancing and controlling with this and it makes my hair look very good. I notice for some reason that using these products my coarse, curly hair gets really 'big' like it turns into an expanded version of my regular hair. It is so much hair as I wear it long below my shoulders so it is a big overwhelming! Ha ha! In any case, my hair like my scalp is on the drier side and I am so happy this ISN'T sticky or heavy or making my hair flat and limp like I was afraid it would. It does a great job and doesn't leave a residue even though it looks unappealing and a little gross when I am squeezing it out of the container as it is this clear jel that looks thick and that it would be very sticky. It is a very good product. I am a new user of unscented products and was sad to have to stop using Aveda essential oil products but they were really exacerbating my scalp issues and this doesn't. Don't put this ON your scalp though if you have sensitive skin...spread it first throughout your palms and start with the bottom of your hair and work your way up and stop about 1/2 to 1 inch from your scalp. i still have 'wild' hair' close to my scalp but I carefully apply just a little one hair at a time for those 'out of control' small bits of new hair that spring up near my scalp to 'tame' them (for a while at least!) ... show more

  • I am no longer hair-product free!
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have extremely sensitive skin and over the last couple of years I had to quit using hair products, hair color and make-up which was pretty hard for me as former hairdresser and colorist. Vanicream makes Free & Clear Gel and I also use Vanicream Medicated Shampoo, Conditioner, Moisturizing Cream, Sunscreen Sport Broad Spectrum SPF 35 and Moisturizing Ointment, but was hesitant to use the gel because I have naturally almost black hair and my experience with gel and dark hair is that once the gel dries it tends to turn into white flakes. So, I was utilizing the Moisturizing Cream as a sort of hair cream to keep my hair in place and it worked great when my hair was fairly short (gotta get creative!). I am growing it out a bit. It's about 6 inches long now, so I thought I'd go ahead and try the hair gel. I was pleased to find that the hair gel did not leave any flakes in my hair. I use it on towel dried hair - and sometimes diffuse my hair, then follow up with a pea size amount of the Moisturizing Cream on the ends. If I need some lift, I will use a little bit more of the gel on my fingertips at the roots. If I do not diffuse my hair, I will add the gel to towel dried hair and twist my hair back and pin it. The next day, I'll have a twist and can simply add more of the gel to my dry hair and my hair will stay perfectly with the gel. Again, the gel leaves no white flakes and it has no smell or scent. I can usually keep the style for two or three days between shampoos. It's a great product and I highly recommend it. I will have to try the hairspray next. Everyone's allergies are different, so just because a product is safe for most people with allergies, it does not mean every single person will be able to use it, so just be aware - do a patch test first if you're not sure. I have tried dozens of products over the last thirty-some years and at least for now, this product line has been SUPER and the ONLY skin care and hair care line that I can use. This former hair product, hair color and make-up addict is now hair color-free, make-up free but no longer, hair-product free! ... show more

  • Great product!
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Vanicream Hair Styling Gel is perfect for my needs. I just scrunch it into my freshly washed damp hair and leave it to dry naturally. The product has not flaked after it has dried. My hair feels softer and looks much better than it used to when I used a different leave-in hair product. This product seems to tame my frizz issues, although time will tell what happens when the humidity increases during the summer months. I have have adverse reactions to many other products, but have not had any problems with this one. Yay! That's a huge added bonus for me. I will definitely repurchase this item. ... show more
