In this video I’m giving y’all my honest first impression of The Doux NEW Block Party Anti-Humidity Defining Gel on my Type 4 hair. I started on freshly washed and deep conditioned hair with no leave-in or oils, because I wanted to see what this gel could do all by itself. The packaging is super cute (and yes, I noticed the little glittery specks), and the texture felt like a thick custard with good slip—almost like a hybrid between Big Poppa Gel and the Bee Girl Honey Curl Custard. But once I started shingling, the definition just wasn’t coming like I needed it to, especially at the roots. I tried adding more product and even added water to see if I could get better clumpage, but it still gave me that “something is off” feeling—and it started to feel kind of greasy on my hair. When I checked the ingredients and saw glycerin as the first ingredient, I was like… how is this anti-humidity when glycerin attracts moisture from the air? I ended up not finishing the style (first time for everything) and washed it out. Two days later, my final verdict was still a no for me—though I can see it possibly working better for looser curl patterns or naturally curly hair that doesn’t need as much help with definition.
