I have only used it a couple of times but I really like it - enough to order more! I get great curl definition without stickiness.
This time with the flax seed gel the cast was stronger than the first time. Perhaps I used too much and the volume wasn’t good. I’ll use less next time.
I’ve been searching for clean products that actually work well in my hair and I’ve finally found them!
I was a fan of the original,but this extra hold was just what was needed for my hair.
I’ve been using Miribel products for years now and just starting using the Extra Hold Gel and it is amazing as are all the products !! My hair is extra dry and frizzy so it really helps give it that extra hold while still giving the option for softer curls after scrunching it out !
Its really nice, great product. It leaves your curls soft not crunchy. And it doesn’t weigh your hair down. I will buy again.
Great product! Left my curls soft and defined without the “crunch”. Liked it so much I ordered the full size!
My hair has gone mostly gray and has become frizzy and unmanageable. Tried this on a whim and I can't believe how the frizz is gone. My hair looks better than in years. Thanks for a great product.
I’ve spent two years trying to make peace with my curls — fine 3B, with strands that range from silver and white to every shade of brunette. Each color seems to have its own mood and texture, which makes consistency a challenge. The only product that’s managed to balance all of it is Miribel’s Dreamy Hair Cream. My hair finally feels soft and hydrated again, not coated or dull.
Then came the Extra Hold Flaxseed Gel. I rationed my sample like it was liquid gold until I figured out how much to use — and now I’m a full convert. The slip is beautiful, the finish is clean, and there’s zero perfumey scent (my curls smell like me, not “Tropical Bloom”).
It’s rare to find products this thoughtful, especially from a small, woman-owned brand. You can tell Jackie’s been in the trenches with her own curls — she gets it, and it shows in these formulas.
I played too much with changing colors and now my hair feels like a bristle. Now I am spending a lot on repairing treatments and am avoiding synthetic styling products. Luckily, this flaxseed gel exists. At the moment I cut my hair supershort to get rid of damaged length but soon will be using flax gel for my curls
I’ve been trying to embrace my natural hair since I can remember. I’ve spent hundreds on products to get the exact look that SSFG gives in one product. Growing out my gray forced it on me since hot tools yellow the gray. This is the only product I use after shampoo and conditioner. It ELIMINATES frizz (I didn’t think that was possible), keeps it looking moisturized, and gives it body. Previous products left my hair oily, waxy, stiff, fluffy/dry on ends and day 2/3 was a nest of dry waxiness. For reference, my hair is mostly wavy with some curl (2a/2b) and very coarse. I’m in love with this stuff. And it’s very forgiving! I might try the one with more hold eventually but I don’t mind that it straightens out a little on day 2 or 3.
The extra hold gel is phenomenal! Everything Jackie makes is of extremely high quality and made with care. Highly recommend!!
The first time I tried the products, it was the 1oz flight, and I fell in love. My next order the protein creamy, dreamy hair cream, and the lavender scented flaxseed gel. And now I am ordering all products. Every. Single. One. Are they pricey? Yup. BUT worth it! I am 49 years old with naturally curly auburn hair… it is my best and most memorable feature. And yet, I’ve NEVER had so many compliments about my hair! It feels great, and finally has some life! So I’m ordering now before the holidays get into full swing, and even got a flight for my step-daughter. The ONLY problem I have is I can’t seem to visit the Miribel site when the foam is in stock! I’m very anxious to try it, it is the only product I haven’t tried. That’s why I say there must be a secret to ordering when it is in stock!
After reading the directions I was a little confused because it says it can be use with or without curl cream. I thought this was supposed to bring out the curl in my hair And I do have fairly curly hair, not just wavy. I guess I need to try it some more and maybe read information on the site again.
The flax gel is the product my routine was missing! Once you break the cast, your curls become soft and bouncy and perfect. Always a user of the curl creams, I am convinced now by this gel.
I love the dreamy hair cream and the flaxseed gel . I use both products when washing my hair . I have noticed a lot less frizz. I use the dreamy hair cream like a leave in conditioner , the flaxseed gel . My hair feels so soft . Would highly recommend these products. Also once a month I use the power house protein cream . I have noticed less I have a lot less frizz .
I am having amazing results with the flax gel. My soft, fragile curls are loving this product. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is that the bottle is rather stiff for my hands (not strong) are not able to dispense the product. I have to take off the cap and shake out the gel. I will definitely will continue to purchase, but will try to find a pump bottle to transfer the product to
Love how this product works with my hair! It gives it a nice shine and holds the curls! Highly recommend
Was hopeful based on the reviews but my hair was heavy and felt dirty.
I'm not sure what voodoo magic you use here but this foam is amazing. I used it with just dream cream on first wash day and it gave me the best 90's (Julia Roberts Esq) volume. Slept without a bonnet :/ OOPS and woke up to soft curls STILL THERE. This is the best for a quick out the door wash day!!!
Tried the new updated foam.... WOW!!!! It's sooo good!!! I tried it both on dry hair (to refresh) and on wet (out of the shower). The results were both good. Smooth the frizz and helps with curl clumps. No tangles. No crunchy curls. No fairly knots. I love how it's more like a fluffy mousse than a foam. Great Job!!!
I love this gel. It’s nice and not cruchy, but still manages my frizz.
I've followed Miribel from the beginning of my Curly Girl Journey. Her product is just as good today as the day she created it. All natural, all good things leaving my hair feel great and my curls looking fantastic!
