Vanicream Free & Clear Hair Styling Gel, Fragrance and Gluten Free, For Sensitive Skin, Unscented, 7 Oz

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!

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 have extremely sensitive skin and over the last couple of years I had to quit using hair products, hair color and make-up which was pretty hard for me as former hairdresser and colorist. Vanicream makes Free & Clear Gel and I also use Vanicream Medicated Shampoo, Conditioner, Moisturizing Cream, Sunscreen Sport Broad Spectrum SPF 35 and Moisturizing Ointment, but was hesitant to use the gel because I have naturally almost black hair and my experience with gel and dark hair is that once the gel dries it tends to turn into white flakes. So, I was utilizing the Moisturizing Cream as a sort of hair cream to keep my hair in place and it worked great when my hair was fairly short (gotta get creative!). I am growing it out a bit. It's about 6 inches long now, so I thought I'd go ahead and try the hair gel. I was pleased to find that the hair gel did not leave any flakes in my hair. I use it on towel dried hair - and sometimes diffuse my hair, then follow up with a pea size amount of the Moisturizing Cream on the ends. If I need some lift, I will use a little bit more of the gel on my fingertips at the roots. If I do not diffuse my hair, I will add the gel to towel dried hair and twist my hair back and pin it. The next day, I'll have a twist and can simply add more of the gel to my dry hair and my hair will stay perfectly with the gel. Again, the gel leaves no white flakes and it has no smell or scent. I can usually keep the style for two or three days between shampoos. It's a great product and I highly recommend it. I will have to try the hairspray next. Everyone's allergies are different, so just because a product is safe for most people with allergies, it does not mean every single person will be able to use it, so just be aware - do a patch test first if you're not sure. I have tried dozens of products over the last thirty-some years and at least for now, this product line has been SUPER and the ONLY skin care and hair care line that I can use. This former hair product, hair color and make-up addict is now hair color-free, make-up free but no longer, hair-product free!

Not the best choice for African-American natural hair maintenance. I recently began transitioning my hair to natural styling and associated maintenance. I selected specialty shampoo, conditioning and styling products that focus on natural hair maintenance and grooming. Fast-forward: I learned that I'm allergic to certain hair product ingredients and I should use fragrance-free, allergen-free products. My dermatologist recommended Vanicream line of products. Use of their shampoo and conditioners works well though not as much moisturizing as my original products for natural hair. I later began using the Vanicream styling gel. This item does not leave my hair as soft and moisturized as my original styling products. The Vanicream line of products are excellent if you are professionally advised to use only fragrance-free, allergen-free hair products.

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.

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!!
