Thoroughly impressed with the results!
I recently tried the African Pride Black Castor Miracle Braid Lock Twist Gel and I am thoroughly impressed with the results! This gel is perfect for achieving smooth, well-defined braids and twists. It has a great consistency—not too thick or runny—and provides excellent hold without being crunchy or flaky. My braids stayed in place all day, and I didn’t experience any frizz or flyaways, even in humid conditions.What I love most about this gel is its nourishing ingredients, particularly the black castor oil. It left my hair feeling soft and moisturized, not dry or brittle like some other styling gels. The gel also doesn’t leave any greasy residue, which is a huge plus. It has a light, pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering, making it easy to use without worrying about any strong fragrance.Overall, I highly recommend the African Pride Black Castor Miracle Braid Lock Twist Gel for anyone looking to achieve long-lasting, well-maintained braids or twists. It provides excellent hold, moisturizes the hair, and keeps your styles looking fresh and defined. For the price and the quality, this gel is a must-have in your hair care routine!

A little goes a long way!
A recurring purchase for me! Perfect for slick back hairstyles and the hold will last all day long without hardening. I rub and warm up a little product on my hands and add a little bit of water so that when my hair dries it remains soft.

Non Sticky, Non Cakey
I have been searching for a gel that smells nice, that holds my curls in place, and most importantly that does not leave a sticky residue or dry flakes on my hair. I have slept with the gel on my hair and the next day, I did not have any flakes, my hair wasn't dry, and it held pretty nicely. Thank you for an amazing product.

Excellent hold
Brilliant product with good hold for starter locs and retwists. Recommended to me by my daughter's hairdresser

For a braiding gel, it sure does itch the scalp. Doesn’t hold my hair down well enough. Neither do other gels so I won’t entire blame this product.

Works well for me no flakes and holds for a good 24hrs before reapplying...

Good holding twist gel
African Pride Black Castor Miracle Braid Lock Twist smells really nice and is an excellent product to retwist locs. No build up and little goes a long way. Best results is to warm the product on your fingertips before applying to the locs. I definitely recommend.
