    Changed my curly hair for life!!!

    "Two summers ago, I decided to finally embrace my curly hair! I have been using Innersense exclusively since starting my curly journey and my hair has never been happier or healthier! This is my go-to gel for every wash day! It provides the perfect level of hold and frizz control and the crunchiness can be scrunched out easily! And the volume!!! I can’t stop taking selfies on good hair days! It’s probably annoying how obsessed I am with my own hair! Whoops!"

    Sarah (5/5)

    Love Innersense

    "I have two types of waves/curls in my abundant hair. I’ve been using I Create Hold for many years. I can’t stand the smell of (synthetic) “fragrance” added to almost all other hair stylers and they make my scalp itch. Please don’t ever change the formulation of I Create Hold!"

    Michele B. (5/5)

    I create Hold for the win

    "I love this gel. I've been using this as a topper gel. I love the smell of this gel, it works well with all botanical base gels I've used it with. It provides a great shine, and the hold is medium and flexible. I still have movement. My hair feels soft and healthy. I recommend this gel."

    Kim B. (5/5)

    not great

    "my hair has never looked worse after a wash day -- two in a row so not a coincidence. I'm hoping it is just a product mismatch, but ugh. I spent way too much money to look this bad. The smell isn't great either; too herbal for my tastes."

    kimberly h. (2/5)

    Game changer

    "Love the fact that with innersense I don’t have to use as much product to get twice as much effect leaving my hair and curls looking lush, but does not feel like product is being kicked on."

    Breanna R. (5/5)

    All time favorite!

    "I would buy it by the gallon if I could! The best hold. Never drying!!"

    Kimberly S. (5/5)

    With this product my curls

    "With this product my curls don’t last beyond day 1, it is thick and doesn’t slide so well. I sent an email for return and didn’t get response. Don’t recommend."

    Gloria L. (1/5)

    Couldn’t be happier

    "I had all but given up on my curls for years. I’ve tried many natural products that fell short and I felt using chemical filled products. Then I decided to research the heck out of my hair type and products to try. I found inner sense products and was very impressed. I get a nice cast (must needed for my frizzy curls) once my hair dries the cast scrunches right away into soft curly locks. I’ve never been so impressed with a gel. It lasts for days, my old gels only lasted one day before my hair felt sticky and gross. I like both I create hold and I create memory. I can’t wait to try their other products."

    Serena E. (5/5)

    Great for so many reasons!!

    "When I say this gel is a game changer for my 4a curly coily hair, I mean it! It’s clean, it freezes curls in seconds, elongates a braid out like effortlessly, sleeks a bun like no other and it’s expensive lol. I’ve been natural for 15 years, and I’ve gone through so many gels. None like this one, I don’t need any other gel now. It does everything, and quickly. And, if you have healthy, springy curls, you know how hard it can be to elongate and smooth out your curls. They shrink back up! But not with this gel! I want to try their other products for curly, coily hair, but they’re a bit pricey, but I know they’re worth every penny! I’ve been using this 10 oz for months now, and I’m surprised it’s lasted this long! A squeeze bottle would probably be better, to ensure I’m getting every drop! Ps: send me some products, Innersense :)!"

    Great hold and definition

    "This is the best product I have found to give my thick, 4C hair lasting definition."
