Review: FX Curls Up Fixative Gel

Source

It's my first time to try a "fixative gel" for culs/permed hair. I've been using curl defining mousse since I got my hair permed last September.



Price: Php 299.00
Purchase Place: Landmark Trinoma

It was my first time to try using a gel. I guess I should have known the really major difference about working with the curls with the gel vs. mousse.

I followed the instructions and scrunched my hair with the gel on it while still damp, though it maintained my big curls, my curl strands were a little stiff and loose. It's really a styling gel. I definitely preferred the mousse version of this.

Last night I was walking at Landmark Makati when I saw another gel type of it's kind. The sales lady told me that the other one gives a soft result compared to this one. I did not tell her that I am actually using the one that I am inquiring about, so kudos to the sales lady who honestly told me that which product makes the curls stiff.

Will I purchase again?

Probably, but not anytime soon. I prefer it compared to Monea Curl Defining Milk lotion (that I will not buy again!)

It definitely held my curls way better than Monea, but it tends to feel a little stiff. If you don't like working with mousse, (or if your hair type can't work with mousse) this is a good option.
