Details & care

What it is: This isn't playing around with medium hold we're talking extreme, unbreakable, your-hair-isn't-moving-till-you-say-so kind of control. Whether you're sculpting glass-hair sleek edges, creating gravity-defying spikes that salute the sky, or slicking back a style so smooth it looks like liquid, it delivers that professional-strength hold.

Who it's for: All hair types.

What it does: The formula brings serious grip without the helmet head effect your style stays locked but doesn't feel like concrete. Perfect for when you need your hair to stay exactly where you put it, no questions asked. From intricate designs to simple slick-backs, from defined curls to sculptural styles, this gel has the muscle to make it happen. And here's where it gets bananas when you're ready to switch it up, just add water and watch it reactivate like magic. No flaking, no residue, just extreme hold that goes hard but stays flexible enough to rework. Your style game is about to go absolutely bananas.

How to use: Get generous from roots to ends, no skimping. Shingle or finger coil for curls that pop off. Diffuse or sit under the dryer until completely dry. Fluff and separate once completely dry. Spritz with water to rework anytime.

Great Product and Now Comes w/ a Pump Top!
Let me just start by saying the Doux B.A.N.A.N.A.S gel is my absolute favorite natural hair product right now. It can hold my wash and go’s down all week long and helps my mini twists go the distance even through heavy workouts. But the reason I wanted to come here to leave a review is because I received a new order today and was delighted to see that the company has added a pump top. Just when I thought I couldn’t love this product more, they go and do this. Excellent all around.

Horrible non functioning bottle.
Just purchased this gel because of the scent, brought it home and tried using it. Though the gel smells great like bananas, once it’s in your hair it does not. The very worst part of the experience because the gel itself works great! The worst part is trying to fit your hand around this very hard bottle to try and squeeze even a drop out. You will be trying forever, even removing the cap you have to stick your finger in the small opening to get a little out. PLEASE PLEASE redesign this bottle experience for a great product.

Owners please read!!
The ONLY reason im giving two stars is because I nearly broke my fingers trying to get the stuff out of the container. The fact that nearly every review is about the same complaint is very telling. As much as I loved the results of my hair after...it's not worth a trip to the ER ..PLEASE CHANGE THE CONTAINER PRONTO!!!!
