Review: A good gel for curly hair in high dew points, high humidity
Beauty product: 4 Stars
I have type 3b/3c hair with high porosity. It is fine, but I have a lot of it and it frizzes terribly without product. I live in a humid climate (DC) and I need a gel that can really keep my hair looking nice. I first started using this gel in 2000, when I grew out a relaxer. It worked well for me, but always mixed with another gel to weigh my hair down a bit (I like to reduce curl, not enhance). I stopped using Climate Control in 2006, when I decided to do a Japanese treatment to straighten my hair. Beginning in 2009, I grew out the TR and finally cut off all my relaxed hair last month. So I'm a long time user of Ouidad Climate Control who went back to it due to a return to curly hair.
Ouidad Climate Control helps my hair handle humidity. But I still get some frizz by the end of the day. I find that it isn't a good stand alone gel, as it doesn't give me the definition I like. I like to use it in conjunction with another gel so that I get well defined curls - these days, it's LA Looks Sport Gel. So I will use a leave-in conditioner in the shower, seal with coconut, apply the Ouidad Climate Control and THEN apply the LA Looks for definition. When I use the Ouidad on its own, I tend to get stringlets and they get really crunchy. This way, I can use just enough gel for the humidity benefit but get my definition elsewhere.
Overall, this is a good gel. At least for me, it doesn't work on its own as a curl definer. Also, if you follow the Curly Girl method, be aware that there is a non-water soluble silicone towards the bottom of the ingredient list (dimethicone). I do follow Curly Girl, but I modify it by shampooing with a non-sulfate shampoo on occasion to avoide cone buildup. For those who are protein sensitive, this gel isn't for you either.
UPDATE: Not using this gel any longer. I found that it was building up after a while. You'll need to shampoo regularly if you use this product. I ended up going completely Curly Girl (i.e. no sulfates, no silicones, no mineral oil, no castor oil). My hair looks way better - I am using V05 moisture milk to conditioner wash, Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition as my conditioner, the V05 moisture milk as my leave in, seal with coconut oil and I'm styling with LA Looks Sports Gel. Every single thing I use is CHEAP and I'm getting better results than I did with the Ouidad.
