Pop Lock 5-Day Curl Forming Glaze

I started using THE DOUX product line about 5 years ago. I absolutely love how Maya gives step by steps instructions on how to use each product. I have 4C thick hair and thinner grade in my crown. I had to makes sure my hair was SOAKING wet in order for the POP LOCK to work correctly. I then racked it through my hair. I have no patience for sectioning my hair. Once I had the product evenly distributed throughout my hair. I sat under my hooded dryer for 15 minutes, then diffused 12 minutes until dry. I finished my stretching my roots. It was a matter of learning HOW to use this product that made it so much easier for me.

Worst product I have ever bought. I used a small amount and my hair stuck together, matted up, and my curls wouldnt clump together. I had nothing but stringy strands and ZERO curl clumps. I added a bit more thinking I put too little and my hair felt horrible. I had to wash it out twice after I had taken a shower and it completely dried my hair out. I am sticking with Not Your Mother's. THIS IS A HORRIBLE PRODUCT

I have short hair and that's how long it took from soaking wet to dry. That's the good news. It does not hold 5 days. It's the not so good news. This would be good to use with another gel if you need that sort of hold. The other thing is that I swim and even though my hair stays dry under a cap, the pop and lock glaze softens and loses its hold. I have to wet my hair again and reapply and this time I used two gels. So let's see what happens. What I did like was that of the first application after it dried it felt soft even though it had a good hold. It just didn't last.
