RATING BRAID GELS ✨

**DISCLAIMER**🚨

All of the products rated were tested on clean hair! It is important that your hair is washed, blow dried, & free of any oils or leave in conditioners. This will help your braid style last longer and not flake or turn white. 💕

Hey gals, I am a self taught braider! I have been braiding hair since I was a freshman in high school. (CO 2015😭, so I have YEARS of experience). I do my own hair & I had my own little braiding side hustle with several clients. Anything you would like to know about products or just braiding in general, I’m your girl! 🫶🏾🥰

What is your favorite braid gel? Comment any suggestions, questions, or tips below. Ciao!! ✨💜

... Read moreWhen choosing a braid gel, it is essential to consider various factors such as hold strength, flaking, and durability. GEL brands like Neatbraid's Conditioning Shining Gel promise extreme hold without the greasy feel, making it a favorite among many professional braiders. On the other hand, products like Hotessional's 8oz have been noted for their slightly greasy residue but appreciate that they do hold the braids well. Among the standout contenders, the 'No Flake' gel series received high praise for maintaining a glossy appearance while securely holding the braid without turning white. Recommendations also suggest that using products on clean hair is crucial; it enhances the effectiveness and longevity of the hairstyle. If you aim for a high-quality finish, always opt for professional-grade gels specifically formulated for braid styles. This can result in a more defined and lasting look for various braid styles, from cornrows to twists. Don't forget to comment and share your experiences with different braid gels below; your input enriches this community of braid enthusiasts!

1. Velvet Petal Daydream I think this scent is super feminine and is perfect for daytime. It's very light and dreamy. If you are looking for a daytime mist to feel sensual and feminine, I highly recommend it! 🎀 2. Spiced Vanilla Fig (Fall edition) At first, the smell is super overpowering
