SHRINKAGEEEEE, thanks for doing this review! In my opinion products that say they help elongate the hair is just a selling tactic, there really isn’t a product out there to help with shrinkage.
Your hair is so Beautiful!!! I cut 3 inches off my hair to make it even again due to a stylist cutting my hair in layers I didnt ask for. So for years I was struggling with uneven hair. You really inspired me and I have purchased Aunt Jackie's No Shrink Gel. We have similiar textures. I aim to have my hair back even within 2 years time. Thanks so much honey and God Bless You!!!!
Shrinkage!! I’ve used this gel and I like that it gives good definition without making my hair crunch and stiff and I’ve also paired it with several leave-in and I’ve never gotten flakes. I didn’t really experience any significant elongation though.
Shrinkage!! I love this gel! It actually elongated my curls nicely since my curls shrink up so much. I also paired with the pink lemonade and coconut sherbet by the mane choice and my results were poppin!👏🏾 your hair came out nicely😍 side not: please give us your skincare routine because your skin looks so smooth and flawless 🤩
The fact that it was a private had me mad then when I was able to click on it today I was like HALLELUJAH😚❤️🤞🏽knew you never failed us #Shrinkageeee👌🏽💑🧖🏾♀️
Good review but I’m pretty sure that the “shrinkage” will be serious for me because most of my hair is made of coils and the very back and front are curls. Yes my hair is a hot mess that I hardly ever just wear out freely. I love T-Pain’s music as well. Have a wonderful day. Take care and thanks for sharing.🌸💯🌸
Shrinkage! Thank you so much again for making a video on a product I've always wanted to try but have never been able to afford. Here in Puerto Rico we don't have Target, so that product here usually goes for $12-$14. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you :)
Notification Squad here✋🏽. Your hair was so defined and elongated when you applied it. So I thought we had a winner. Your hair was still gorgeous and held up but then shrinkageee!! Tfs❤️
I haven't tried this product before but i finally tried the camille rose curl maker and now im kicking myself for waiting to buy it because its awesome!! #notificationsquad
you seriously alwaaaysss come in clutch! I legit just got this gel, my hair doesn't like too much protein either so that was my concern with it. Hopefully I'll have good results! 🤞 shrinkaaageee 💕
#NOTIFSQUADDD! Shrinkageeee..something I really do struggle with so I’m excited to see the final product so I can potentially add this to my curly hair product stash 😊 Love you Lydia
Hey girl! I noticed you said “should I even review it” please review a product if you have an interest in it, even if there are hella reviews!! Lol I’m not on TH-cam a lot, but when I’m curious about a product and see you have a review on it, I always watch! Very informative and us habesha girls have very unique hair textures so your perspective/representation matters!! Keep going 💛💛💛
I literally paused this video & snatched this product out of my sister’s bathroom to try lol. You should also do a ASMR hair video, they are so pleasing to watch😍
Good honest review! Your results were satisfactory! It's a fairly good Gel after all. I am looking into it. Probably I'll buy it, because l love definition without the crunch! Shrinkage! TFS!
I wasn't a huge fan of the gel... When i first tried it.. My hair shrunk up and i had people ask me if i cut it again.. It left it hard and dry... I tried it again... And still the same results.. I've heard people say to pair it with their leave in... So i did say i would try it with a wash and go again and try it with a twist out or something.. But for my first 2 times it was a NO...
Shrinkage! It did ok. I am glad it didn't make your hair crunchy. I tried aunt jackies don't shrink gel years ago. I used it on damp hair. It made my hair kinda crunchy and hard.
Thank you for your excellent presentation! I love AuntJackie’s Gel! I use it when I am putting my gain in a bun! It work beautifully! and shine nicely! It is a wonderful product! I will truly recommend this product!🙏❤️🇨🇦
#NotificationSquad🤟🏾💛💚🧡 We will watch ANY review you choose!! Your opinion is like the only one that matters 🤷🏾♀️ SHRINKAGEEEEE➰ You said it best! It’s great for definition and not elongation. That’s how I thought your hair would turn out. Defined beautifully when wet but as far as shrinkage it wasn’t going to be super. Hair is flawless tho 💁🏾♀️
I bought Curl Maker and Eden hydration serum because of you & I love them, especially together . #lydiamademetryit My prediction is defined curls with a crunch but lacking in moisture. Shrinkageee
Omgg shrinkageeee but this is amazing I just brought this a week ago to do my first wash n go but I didn’t use it yet bc Idk what my leave in shld be we have similar hair so I’m glad to see it work by itself!
Shrinkageeeeeeeeeeee...I’ve been thinking about trying this product for soooooo long thanks for the review!Will you be trying the coconut curl boss gelee?
Lydia Tefera yes my curls are super defined but the shrinkage is real. I wish companies would stop claiming that. I feel the ones that do, your hair shrinks even more 🤦🏽♀️
Like no hate..I've noticed that when people apply it,they just leave it loose.. I use this when doing twist out and braid outs,and my hair doesn't shrink! So I think that's what they were kinda working on.
Shrinkage! I have it and my hair loves it. It stays shiny and super defined for a good 4-5 days but I usually use it for when my hair gets frizzy from a previous wash and go and I don’t feel like washing my hair 😅 lol but I’ll try it for my next wash and go. Also could you try the curl la la 🤔. I have it but I haven’t tried it yet 😅
Hi again ! Can you please try the SheaMoisture Argan oil & Almond milk Smooth & Tame treatment Masque , It says that it contains marshmallow root extract (which I heard you like) & cherimoya. Also their Raw Shea & Cupuacu Frizz Defense Hair Masque? They are having free ground shipping as well. FYI the smooth & tame masque is not on sale in stores yet but they used to have it in a orange packet before & now they have a new label for it ♥️
I feel like it’s going to be good at this point! I’ll report back later! UPDATE: your hair is always gorgeous. However, I agree with your thoughts. SHRINKAGEEEEEEE!!! ❤️
Damn I hope this works for me, it’s funny b/c my cvs didn’t have any options at the moment so I bought anyone that appeared to hav good ingredients. Then I started watching review on it lol. I wasn’t expecting you not to use a conditioner! Hope it works for me
Tishonna Dillon I know I have read up on natural hair shrinkage. the tighter your curls and coils are the more your hair will shrink up. that is is if your hair is healthy
Shrinkage. Hey Lydia🤗 I have the Flaxseed Elongating gel, as well as their Curl Mane-Tenance cream. I had planned on using it yesterday, but it curdled when I mixed them together on my hand. So, I ended up using my CURLS Blueberry Bliss products. I always get very consistent results with that line. Btw, I used the tgin Honey Miracle Hair Mask, and I really liked it a lot. Lydia, do an apple cider vinegar rinse weekly to remove product build up. All you need to do is mix 1 part apple cider with 4 parts water. Bragg ACV is great. Don’t buy the bs ACV that looks like piss😂💯👍.
Oh that’s unfortunate that they didn’t mix well! I haven’t tried my blueblerry curl jelly in a while but I think I might revisit it soon! And I hear Apple cider vinegar rinses are great I may have to start incorporating them to my wash day routines. But I’m so glad you enjoyed the TGIN mask!!
Thank you so much! And I like to sprinkle some vlogs and hair tips videos every now and then. I get the most requests for reviews tho which is why I like to film them for you all 🤗
Shrinkage! Did it make your hair soft? I noticed in the video you said it was soft. Did that last? I don’t like the crunchy feel but I wanna try this product and it seems like it makes your hair soft and not crunchy.
SHRINKAGEEEEE, thanks for doing this review! In my opinion products that say they help elongate the hair is just a selling tactic, there really isn’t a product out there to help with shrinkage.
I totally agree!!
The elongation aspect did work for me My hair is type 3b & 3c & very fine
Awilda Jimenez Did it shrink after a couple hours?
Giving me Malia Obama vibes
Thank you!!
Your hair is so Beautiful!!! I cut 3 inches off my hair to make it even again due to a stylist cutting my hair in layers I didnt ask for. So for years I was struggling with uneven hair. You really inspired me and I have purchased Aunt Jackie's No Shrink Gel. We have similiar textures. I aim to have my hair back even within 2 years time. Thanks so much honey and God Bless You!!!!
Thank you soooo much girl! thank you for sharing and I hope you enjoy the product!
Shrinkage!! I’ve used this gel and I like that it gives good definition without making my hair crunch and stiff and I’ve also paired it with several leave-in and I’ve never gotten flakes. I didn’t really experience any significant elongation though.
That’s great! And yeah I wish this gel provided a little more elongation
Did it fix shrinkage ?
Mochi Min I didn’t experience a noticeable reduction in shrinkage.
When I used the same gel my hair loved it!
That’s great! 😁
Wow you really look like itsluanahoes (Portuguese youtuber)
Got a little too lit in the beginning 😂
Hahaa it always does 😂😂😂
Shrinkageeeee! I like this gel. It makes my coils pop just enough to rock a coily/kinky fro.
That’s great!
Shrinkage!! I love this gel! It actually elongated my curls nicely since my curls shrink up so much. I also paired with the pink lemonade and coconut sherbet by the mane choice and my results were poppin!👏🏾 your hair came out nicely😍 side not: please give us your skincare routine because your skin looks so smooth and flawless 🤩
I think the ingredients didn’t pair well with my hair 😭 and I have concealer on! My skin has a lot of hyper pigmentation that I’m still working on!
Lydia Tefera I feel ya on the hyperpigmentation😭
The fact that it was a private had me mad then when I was able to click on it today I was like HALLELUJAH😚❤️🤞🏽knew you never failed us #Shrinkageeee👌🏽💑🧖🏾♀️
Yeah for some reason youtube was acting so strange! I don’t know why it kept saying “unavailable” 😭😭
WOW. This looks great to me. Love it. Your definition is amazing. This is my favorite on your hair.
Thank you!!
Good review but I’m pretty sure that the “shrinkage” will be serious for me because most of my hair is made of coils and the very back and front are curls. Yes my hair is a hot mess that I hardly ever just wear out freely. I love T-Pain’s music as well. Have a wonderful day. Take care and thanks for sharing.🌸💯🌸

Lydia Tefera :good video. Not a good product for me, left my hair dry and no definition, no bueno.
Shrinkage. 2nd time viewing.

Shrinkage
Used this product & I did get elongation. My hair felt very soft. I liked it. My hair is a 3b &3c.
I literally paused this video & snatched this product out of my sister’s bathroom to try lol. You should also do a ASMR hair video, they are so pleasing to watch😍
Jordan Davis lol! Let me know if you like it! And thanks for the suggestion!
I always wanted to try this! Even though I stopped using gel and use mousse. Shrinkageeee!! 🌀🌀
If you do decide to try it let me know what ya think!
Shrinkageeeee I think your results came out good. I'm excited to try for my next wash and go
Thank you!
Shrinkage! I love the uncle funky's daughter gel more so for hold and definition or the camille rose. My hair type is 3b.
I have been using it for7years.and it works well on my hair
SHRINKAGE!!! Amazing video as always, bought this product awhile ago and I've been meaning to try it out so thank you for reminding me about it lol!
Thank you!!! And I’m glad!
Yeah I used that gel before it was ok needed to have a leave in still got shrinkage so It was ok ... #shrinkage
Yeah I think I may have to try their gellee and see how it compares to this gel
I think it's not going to stretch your curls much, but give good definition
Good honest review! Your results were satisfactory! It's a fairly good Gel after all. I am looking into it. Probably I'll buy it, because l love definition without the crunch! Shrinkage! TFS!
Thanks you!!
Lydia Tefera Your welcome!
I wasn't a huge fan of the gel... When i first tried it.. My hair shrunk up and i had people ask me if i cut it again.. It left it hard and dry... I tried it again... And still the same results.. I've heard people say to pair it with their leave in... So i did say i would try it with a wash and go again and try it with a twist out or something.. But for my first 2 times it was a NO...
At least you gave it a fair chance!
I actually thought it would of been 👍 but it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Shrinkageeee ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah I wish t gave me more elongation but it still gave me nice definition. Thanks for watching! ❤️
SHRINKAGE!! Ouuu I think I need to try it!!
Shrinkage! It did ok. I am glad it didn't make your hair crunchy. I tried aunt jackies don't shrink gel years ago. I used it on damp hair. It made my hair kinda crunchy and hard.
Yeah I was surprised with how soft my hair felt!
I’m trying to watch the video but it says unavailable
I don’t know why it keeps doing that 😭😭😭 try refreshing the page a couple times maybe?
Thank you for your excellent presentation! I love AuntJackie’s Gel! I use it when I am putting my gain in a bun! It work beautifully! and shine nicely! It is a wonderful product! I will truly recommend this product!🙏❤️🇨🇦

You said it best! It’s great for definition and not elongation. That’s how I thought your hair would turn out. Defined beautifully when wet but as far as shrinkage it wasn’t going to be super. Hair is flawless tho 💁🏾♀️
#SQUAD 🤗🤗 and thanks girl!
Lydia Tefera Anytime 😊
shrinkage ‼️ yellow looks so good on you btw 💛💛
Thank you!! 💛
I bought Curl Maker and Eden hydration serum because of you & I love them, especially together . #lydiamademetryit
My prediction is defined curls with a crunch but lacking in moisture.
Shrinkageee
I’m so glad you love them!!! ❤️
I think the results will be good. The product looks very moisturizing, I'll have to get this gel for my curls!!:)
Shrinkageeeeee 🙄😭. NOTIFICATION SQUADDDDDD 💖💗💗💚💚💗❤️

This gel worked great for me. It didn’t flake or make my hair frizzy. My hair had a slight hold but it wasn’t crunchy
In love with your hair pattern, new subscriber here
Omgg shrinkageeee but this is amazing I just brought this a week ago to do my first wash n go but I didn’t use it yet bc Idk what my leave in shld be we have similar hair so I’m glad to see it work by itself!

Hey girl love the video like always ❤️💜😍
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Shrinkageee I used this gel today. I agree with everything you said.
Yeah the gel is pretty good at defining your curls with a soft hold but I wish it had more elongation
Lydia Tefera yes my curls are super defined but the shrinkage is real. I wish companies would stop claiming that. I feel the ones that do, your hair shrinks even more 🤦🏽♀️
Notification Squad 😄🙌🏽💕 Shrinkage 👌🏽
💕💕💕
Like no hate..I've noticed that when people apply it,they just leave it loose.. I use this when doing twist out and braid outs,and my hair doesn't shrink! So I think that's what they were kinda working on.
I use the don’t shrink flexseed elongating gel.it works well on my hair
Look like a winner so far
🤞🏾
Shrinkageeee and I struggle with it as well that's why I don't care for wash n go. It always shrink up into a afro literally.😣
Yeah everyone’s hair definitely can act differently when it comes to wash n gos!
Lydia Tefera ikr so the only way I get volume is to do twist outs or braids or flat twist.
Shrinkage! I have it and my hair loves it. It stays shiny and super defined for a good 4-5 days but I usually use it for when my hair gets frizzy from a previous wash and go and I don’t feel like washing my hair 😅 lol but I’ll try it for my next wash and go.
Also could you try the curl la la 🤔. I have it but I haven’t tried it yet 😅
Awesome!!

SHRINKAGEEEEEEE!!! ❤️
Thank you!!
Looks good so far. lets hope that it does not leave your hair crunchy.
😁😁😁 nope no crunch!
Notification gang💁😘🤗👌💃
❤️❤️❤️❤️ #SQUAD
Can you do a length check? Your curls are beautiful!!!
Thank you! 🤗
The Flaxseed is very good .
Glad you liked it!
Damn I hope this works for me, it’s funny b/c my cvs didn’t have any options at the moment so I bought anyone that appeared to hav good ingredients. Then I started watching review on it lol. I wasn’t expecting you not to use a conditioner! Hope it works for me
I think the results is gonna be good
I wanna say it'll look good but I tried the curl la la (i'm 3b 3c) and it was awful so idk maybe it's just my hair
Omg I just tried this 2 days ago!!!! It's so good
And in your intro it sounded like bood up(it's a song)
🤗🤗🤗
#Shrinkage.... Thanks for the review. Your hair looks nice... Good definition.
notification gang❤ love you
#GANG ❤️ love ya too!
Good review. Since it has protein in it, I will not be trying this gel. Shrinkage!
Thank you!
Shrinkage something that I can never get away from 😒😒😁😁
Same here but it’s okay shrinkage is a sign of healthy hair! 😁
Tishonna Dillon same 😂
Tishonna Dillon I know. I have shrinkage to.i can not stand it
Tishonna Dillon I know I have read up on natural hair shrinkage. the tighter your curls and coils are the more your hair will shrink up. that is is if your hair is healthy
Tishonna Dillon e either
Shrinkageeee! I love this gel!
I’m glad!! 🤗
My 3c/4a hair hates this gel. It gives me no hold at all. I actually like gels that leave a crunch behind, let’s me know my style will last!
Yeah I usually prefer gels with a little more hold but I was pretty impressed with how much definition I got without the hold
Lydia Tefera thanks for your review ❤️
Love it! Can you do a curlmix demo?❤️
Can’t make any promises but thank you for the recommendation!!!

Shrinkage......Your hair turned out great!
🤗❤️🤗❤️ thank you!
Shrinkage
I happened to like your results,your hair looks soft. I’m protein sensitive too. I like Aunt Jackie curls and coils, it is inexpensive
Thanks!!
HEY!!! You look beautiful as always (shrinkage)👍🤗🤗🤗
Thank you!! 🤗😁🤗
Hey Lydia I love your videos. However I feel like all you do is review products. Have you ever thought about expanding your content?🤗
Thank you so much! And I like to sprinkle some vlogs and hair tips videos every now and then. I get the most requests for reviews tho which is why I like to film them for you all 🤗
This is exactly why I would go back to kinky curl because it did alot better that that right side frizz ball thing T.T
#SQUAD shrinkageeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
#SQUAD! ❤️
Love this gel. I know it works. Shrinkage
🤗🤗🤗🤗
So I recently did a second big chop but and it worked ok before but now I’m not sure. Am I applying it wrong now that my hair is short or...???
Maybe you can change yo how much product you put in your hair?
Can you try using a diffuser like a review. Maybe your hair would look less flat (no offense)
Thanks for the suggestion!!
How did you preserve your hair when it was shorter?Did you still do pineapples?
Shrinkage * I enjoyed your review I'm going to try this product.
Shrinkageeeeee. So far, it looks like your hair is going to turn out good.
🤗
I think it spells like perfumey bubblegum 😭😩😍. Shrinkageeeeee
🤗🤗🤗
I really want to try it but another youtuber said that it flaked a lot
My hair always feels dry when I use this product. Maybe I might be protein sensitive. How could I test if I am?
Shrinkage
Shrinkage! Did it make your hair soft? I noticed in the video you said it was soft. Did that last? I don’t like the crunchy feel but I wanna try this product and it seems like it makes your hair soft and not crunchy.
SHRINKAGEEEEEEE FIRST COMMENT OMG 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
