Hi everyone! I am thinking of going natural (I'm almost 6 months post right now) and I have a question. People who have 3a-c usually use gel in their hair to keep the curls all nice and curly and not frizzy. I was just wondering.. I have 4a/4b hair and I have been using fantasia IC gel with sparkle lights for my "bangs" and I really like how they really define my curls and "stretch" them out in a way. Do you think once I go all natural I will be able to use this gel everyday? So far I am LOVing the results.. I have noticed there is protein in the gel so I make sure to use a good moisturizer, but I was wondering what you all think of me using the gel everyday on all of my hair. Thanks so much!

I think it would work great for the rest of your hair.  It's a good gel that is popular w/ a lot of naturals.  I really like it because it dosen't get hard and crunchy and it makes my hair shine.

I have 4a textured hair and Smooth n' Shine Activator Gel w. Aloe is my fav! I like the IC gel as well but Smooth 'n Shine leaves my hair feeling softer and I use it on a regular basis.  http://groups.msn.com/CarliesHairJourney/carliesnaturaljourneybegins.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=203 - Here's a recent photo of my hair using Smooth 'n Shine

Great!  I'm so excited for my hair to grow! LOL.  I'll have to pick up the smooth and shine activator gel, I always like to have two of  each of the leave in products I use for my hair so  I can alternate.
