Vanicream Hair Gel, 7 Oz, Formulated without Common Irritants for Sensitive Skin, Styling Gel with Firm Hold & Non-Greasy Finish, Helps Control Static & Add Volume, Dermatologist Tested

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!

I bought this because other hair products make my scalp itch because of the chemicals. This is a great product that holds the hair all day. I love it for my curly hair. Keeps it from frizzing. It is also not greasy, and doesn't build up on your hair. I only wash my hair 2 x a week because it works best that way. If I put the gel in one day, I can re-wet it the next morning and it reactivates the product and my hair looks great.

I have purchased this same brand in other forms as well, including shampoo, conditioner, face cream, and hairspray. I bought it because it does not have perfume or dyes and is free from harmful chemicals. there are very few hair/skin products available in this category. I appreciate it that Vanicream produces a variety of affordable products without all the crap that most manufacturers add to theirs. I wish that it had better hold. as soon as i comb my fingers through my hair after it dries, the 'hold' of the gel is lost. But I have had the same trouble with other hair gels I've tried as well, so I can't fault it for that since I haven't found a single hair gel that keeps its hold after it is combed. Overall it's a good product for those with sensitive skin or who do not want to add dyes and chemicals to their skin/hair.

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.

After living my full life with skin-lacerating rashes -- often in diabolical places -- a dermatologist cultured a rash and diagnosed me with "contact dermatitis" brought on by "fragrance" or "parfum" found in personal care products. I was told to change everything I used in grooming, with Vanicream products as my anchor. I now use the cleansing bar, shampoo, conditioner, antiperspirant -- nearly everything. Their clear hair gel is elite in every way; it just has no odor or color. A penny-sized amount rubbed between my hands provides front-to-back coverage and a terrific hold with zero clumping. Its contribution to my war against dermatitis has been life-affirming: I'm rash-free, off steroid creams, and looking the best I can. For those with contact dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, eliminating fragrances may prove transformative. I wish you the best! - (Was this review of use to you?

I really wanted to love this stuff, but it just didn’t work for me. I have been searching for a fragrance-free hair serum to tame frizz for a long time, not because I’m allergic, but because fragrances can have a lot of hidden nasties in them due to proprietary loopholes and also because I do a lot of outdoor activities and I don’t want to attract bees and other bugs by having a head full of flowery or fruity smelling hair. This seemed like it was going to be great at first. The texture is less like a gel and more like a serum, which made me hopeful, but the more I try it, the more I realize how very sticky, dull and unmanageable it makes my hair. It forms nice curls and doesn’t have a smell at all, but that’s where the positives end for me. An hour into having it on my hair, I find myself wanting to go wash it out because I can’t stand the way it feels or how lackluster my hair looks. I guess the search continues. I couldn’t decide between 2 and 3 stars for this product, so I decided to be generous.

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!

I actually like this product. It’s not sticky, but it does the job and it washes out easily.

great product! styles my hair as I like it. I will continue to purchase again in the future. There really is no smell to it at all. Fantastic!

This is a great product!! Scent free is almost impossible to find and for people with allergies to all the obnoxious scented products, this is a FIND!! Nice hold, not super sticky and scent free !! I’m in my second tube!

I have a sensitive scalp, I usually keep scratching my scalp for reactions. after t started using this product no issue at all. i strongly recommend

This makes a great brow gel. I have a lot of allergies and i couldn't find a brow gel that didn't irritate my skin, but this is perfect. It holds my unruly eyebrows in place all day. It doesn't dry immediately, which gives me time to style them, and once styled, they stay put and don't drop back down after five minutes as with a lot of brow gels. Easy to remove with a aloe vera gel or micellar water. And zero skin reactions!!
