Kayos - Pure Flaxseed Hair Gel, 300ml Curly Hair Gel For Dry & Frizzy Hair, Paraben-Free, Conditions, Moisturizes & Defines Curls, Vitamin E & Castor Oil, Handmade Flaxseed Gel With Essential Oils

Let me just say that I've tried almost every curl cream there is in the market: from Cantu to Shea Moisture, often dropping a small fortune on these products. While these products have been very good, it starts to pinch my pocket when I have to reorder them every now and then. So I started looking out for cheaper products manufactured in India when I chanced upon this Kayos cream.Now, Kayos is not a name I was familiar with before this, so I proceeded with great caution, but wow, this has been the most pleasant surprise ever! It works really, really well on my shoulder length hair, and I'm beyond happy with my purchase.Because of how short my hair is, I can't use a curling iron or anything unless I want to cause second-degree burns on my neck, so I'm completely at the mercy of curling creams/mousses/whatever.How I use itAfter shampooing and conditioning, I towel dry my hair gently till it's no longer dripping wet. Then, I section my hair into two-three parts and work a small quantity of the curling gel into the hair shaft. Next, (and this is crucial), I wrap my hair somewhat tightly into a t-shirt (better for your hair than a towel!), and go about my day for the next 2-3 hours while the product soaks nicely into my hair. It's best to not use this when you're in a hurry. For even better results, you can wash your hair before going to bed, use this cream, and then sleep while the cream works its magic. Voila, magical, Disney-princess curls!The best part of the cream is that it's not heavy, and doesn't weigh down your hair in an ungainly manner, as most curl creams tend to do. However, I'm not the biggest fan of the smell: it's a bit weird and oily, and it's definitely not the greatest fragrance. Sensitive nosed beauties might take a while to get accustomed to the smell.I really, really like this cream: it's definitely got a place of honour on my bathroom shelf! It's cost friendly and effective and makes for a great alternative to high-end, imported curl products. Thank you Kayos and Amazon!

Like: This has flax seed which has good medium hold. It is runny in consistency with mild scent. It gives good cast to hair which you can later scrunch out. I have been using one bottle since last year and it has not finished yet so good amount at good price 😁Dislike: now after a year, maybe becausey hair texture has changed maybe, i find that it still gives a good cast but it does not give me hold anymore & my hair becomes frizzy

This product does help your hair develop more refined curls, but don't get your hopes too high. The scent is a mild orange-y fragrance, but it fades quickly. It does not make your hair softer and the curls are crunchy. It does, however, make my hair extremely greasy very quickly. Even a little amount makes me need to wash my hair every two days. Do not use if you want very defined curls and if you have an oily scalp. Not the ideal product if you're looking for value for money, as well.

Sigh...I really, really wanted this gel to work a lot. I really did. It seemed amazing, being flaxseed based and cheap and affordable in the long run, not to mention 300ml would last a really long time, but it's failed me.It has zero hold, ZERO hold. My waves have lost a lot of definition since using this, and have clumped weirdly, making my hair look like dreadlocks. My hair is still really dry and frizzy despite looking shiny, but the shine is more like a "coated in oil" kind of shine rather than a natural, healthy shine. Its weighed my hair down terribly, and I can't bring myself to finish the bottle at all.However, there are some good points to this. It has absolutely zero cast and acts more like a creme gel than a gel per say. So it may actually work for those people who dislike the cast that gels give. Also, it has castor oil as the third ingredient, which I suspect really weighed my hair down and caused even more frizz. But, if your hair is really high porosity and loves castor oil, this might actually work for you.I feel like this gel won't suit fine, thin and wavy haired people at all, as well as low porosity hair. It just sits on top. However, the idea is in the right direction.If the gel had a little less castor oil or if it even was entirely removed, I feel like it might have a bit more hold. Perhaps a different version of this hair gel replacing castor oil with another lighter oil like argan oil? Perhaps a little more hold? I'm sure that version of the gel will explode in the CG community as an affordable gel in high quantity.But at the moment, I won't buy this again. I'll stick to my Arata Hair Gel, but I have hope that the company is listening to the needs of the curly girl community.Should you buy this gel?If your hair is highly porous, thick, coarse and resistant to buildup, and if you've got a texture beyond 3A, I'm sure you can grow to like this gel. It won't suit people with wavy hair, medium to low porosity hair, fine and thin hair prone to buildup.
