Creme of Nature Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT
When I read the name, it doesn’t exactly sound very inviting. I think of “SNOT” more as… Exactly! That stuff that comes out of your nose when you have a cold. However, in this case, it means something else. SNOT gel refers to the super strong hair gel from Creme of Nature. This hair gel contains argan oil from Morocco. Argan oil is known for its frizz-fighting properties and beautiful shine. Because this gel is so strong, you won’t have to worry about frizzy baby hairs. Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT Gel is from the brand Creme of Nature. This brand stands for beautiful and healthy hair. Their products can be used on any hair type, so it doesn’t matter if you have wavy, curly, or kinky hair. Moreover, as the name suggests, these Creme of Nature products contain only natural ingredients.
How do you use the Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT?
My hair routine
Before applying styling products, I first wash my hair with Curl Flo Revive Co-wash . Then I can start styling! If I notice my hair isn’t wet enough, I spritz it with a spray bottle to add a little more water. I divide my hair into two sections and apply some Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT gel (a small amount goes a long way) and Leave-In Weightless Moisture Conditioner to my hands. I mix this mixture and distribute it throughout both sections.
Then I style my hair with the Denman Brush D3 and use the finger coiling technique. Want to learn more about Curly Girl techniques? Then be sure to read this article !
After applying the products and styling my hair, I dry it with a diffuser. Once my hair is completely dry, I squeeze the cast out with my hands. The result: shiny and defined curls.
My opinion about the SNOT gel
I absolutely love Creme of Nature’s Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT gel! I have 2c/3a curls. Because of this, I need a fairly light gel with good hold to keep my curls from falling out. The SNOT gel absolutely prevents this! My hair also frizzes easily. When I use this gel, my curls become beautifully shiny.
I do read in some communities that people find the gel a bit sticky and that it leaves residue in their hair. I don’t experience this myself. I do notice that when I touch my hair after styling my curls, my hands do get a bit sticky. I solve this by washing my hands.
Here are some other tips to ensure you use the gel correctly and prevent the above:
- Use a very small amount of the Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT gel and dilute it with some warm water
- Distribute the gel evenly over your hair
- Mix the product with another product such as a cream
- Only use the gel on soaking wet hair
If you haven’t tried Creme of Nature’s Maximum-Hold Styling SNOT gel yet, I highly recommend it! You can buy a sample of this gel at Kurlify so you can try it out a few times before buying a full size. How great!
