Finding the best gel for 4c hair that provides great definition and hold can be a pain.
How do I know? Well, I have been on this natural hair journey for 5 years now, and I have yet to find a gel that checks all the boxes, until now.
In the past 5 years, I have tried countless gels. Some good, some, ok, and some we all could do without. But then, I tried this one gel, and my whole life shifted (dramatic, I know, but true).

I’m referring to the Lemongrass Hold It Styling Gel from Alikay Naturals.
This gel may have won the prize for best gel for 4C Hair. It checks all the boxes when it comes to what a 4C hair girl/guy needs (in my humble opinion). I was literally speechless seeing the results of my wash n go using this gel on my 4c hair. The excitement was real.
Often times we 4C girls/guys, get excited at the results we think we may get from using a gel, based on the results we see from other people with different hair types, only to end up horribly disappointed at our own end results. I have been there more times than I care to talk about. But, I think Alikay Naturals may have created the perfect formula with this Lemongrass Hold It Styling Gel.
The Lemongrass Hold It Styling Gel gives your hair everything it needs in a gel.
Let’s be real. Although “definition” and “hold” are the main things we tend to look for when using a gel, there are other important attributes to qualify it as a good gel. And when a gel checks all those boxes, it’s safe to call it the “best gel“.
Those attributes are (feel free to disagree in the comments):
- Definition: Does it define your curls/coils?
- Hold: Does it hold the curls/coils in place?
- Frizz-free: How well does it define your curls/coils?
- Flake-free: Are there any flakes after your hair dries?
- Long-lasting: How long can the hairstyle last before you have to restyle your hair?
This gel provides all of these, plus it is made out of ingredients safe to use on natural hair. What else can you ask for?
I was able to achieve the best lasting definition using this gel on my 4C hair and when I tell you I was impressed! It’s been such a long time since I’ve had this kind of excitement using a gel, I just had to share it.
