My hair is naturally straight(like no wave at all) and pretty thick. I love to get is wavy etc. I put the gel in my hair, put in in twists ot what ever, and let it dry over night. I have tried a couple brands that leave these little white flakes(not dandriff). It never stays wavy for a long time and always goes flat.

My hair never tolerates any shape. I switched and am currently using Garnier Frutis exta stronghold in extra stong. This goes flat right away. Some not to cheap brands gel that
works!
