Gave my curls new life.

When they say this doesn't shrink your curls they weren't lying. Aunt Jackie's products are great but this stuff is natural and a little goes a long way. Plus it's under $8. A must for us curly girls.

This is one of the best products on the market. The “don't shrink from Aunt Jackie's really works”. I have natural curls and once I apply the “don't shrink gel”, my hair looks healthy, longer, and moisturized with a small amount of warm water it looks beautiful. I have yet to see any flakes or frizz from using the product. It is less expensive than the beauty supply stores.

This is the best gel I've used on my natural hair!

I have type 4A/4B natural hair and I've been natural for almost 5 years now, so you can trust me when I say that I've tried just about every gel there is for African American hair!! 'Eco Styler' and 'La Belle Lots of Curls' gels usually give me nice TIGHT curls, but nothing like this gel. Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed gel gives me nice LOOSE curls. I've included some pictures, even though my camera does NOT do it justice. I've found that this gel does not work so great on wet hair for a wash 'n go style, but it does work good on wet hair for twist outs. This gives me some of the best curl definition ever! It works best for me on dry hair after a twist out or braid out. I add a little oil moisturizer first, then I apply the gel. You don't need much at all, which is a good thing. I scrunch it in my hair and I get luxurious loose, bouncy spiral curls! They're really gorgeous in person. Please don't expect for your hair NOT to shrink at all with this. My hair does still shrink a little, but nothing like before (without this product). So, it doesn't totally stop it, but it prevents it by up to maybe 85 - 90% on MY hair. I've only been using this for about a week and have already received compliments on my hair. My husband says it makes my hair look fuller. It definitely does "it" for me and gets the job done. I'm going to be stocking up ASAP.
