Vanicream Hair Styling Gel, Fragrance and Gluten Free, For Sensitive Skin, Unscented, 7 Oz, Packaging May Vary

Perfect. Does not weight down hair. Unscented.

The only thing I use to manage my hair – and I have sensitive skin!I’ve tried so many hair gels over the years, but this is the only one I keep coming back to. I have very sensitive skin, especially around my scalp, and most products I’ve used in the past would cause irritation, itchiness, or dandruff after just a few uses. This gel is completely different. It’s gentle, non-irritating, and somehow still manages to hold my hair exactly the way I want it.What I love most is that it doesn’t leave behind any flaky residue or that dry, crunchy feeling you get with some gels. It gives me a natural hold without making my hair feel stiff. I can style my hair in the morning and trust that it will still look great by the end of the day.And the best part? No dandruff. Seriously. Every other product I’ve used eventually caused some kind of reaction, but not this one. If you have sensitive skin like me and have struggled to find a product that works, I highly recommend giving this a try. It’s become a staple in my routine and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it.

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 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!

This is the BEST hair gel I’ve ever used! Soft curls that stay! I have eczema on my scalp, so it’s important to keep out all the bed chemicals!

I had to start using unscented products due to severe scalp itching, scaling, and bleeding. My dermatologist said it was my nice smelling 'essential oil' Aveda hair products. Vanicare gel doesn't look to hot...it is sort of like clear Vasoline, but it fortunately doesn't make my hair all flat and oily like I was afraid it would. It coats my hair and I use another product that is unscented that is curl enhancing and controlling with this and it makes my hair look very good. I notice for some reason that using these products my coarse, curly hair gets really 'big' like it turns into an expanded version of my regular hair. It is so much hair as I wear it long below my shoulders so it is a big overwhelming! Ha ha! In any case, my hair like my scalp is on the drier side and I am so happy this ISN'T sticky or heavy or making my hair flat and limp like I was afraid it would. It does a great job and doesn't leave a residue even though it looks unappealing and a little gross when I am squeezing it out of the container as it is this clear jel that looks thick and that it would be very sticky. It is a very good product. I am a new user of unscented products and was sad to have to stop using Aveda essential oil products but they were really exacerbating my scalp issues and this doesn't. Don't put this ON your scalp though if you have sensitive skin...spread it first throughout your palms and start with the bottom of your hair and work your way up and stop about 1/2 to 1 inch from your scalp. i still have 'wild' hair' close to my scalp but I carefully apply just a little one hair at a time for those 'out of control' small bits of new hair that spring up near my scalp to 'tame' them (for a while at least!)

Best gel I’ve ever owned. Light nor heavy. Holds pretty strong but most importantly does not cause any allergic reaction. Please don’t discontinue this product.
