Black Hair Care: How do I apply gel so it will stay all day without frzzing up and lay flat?

My hair is unrelaxed at the moment and I use ampro prostyle gel (the best gel for black hair) for it to lay flat but it doesn't. Should I sit under a dryer? Wet my hair before using it? What am I doing wrong? Please Help!

Personally I use Fantasia Gel, the brown kind. It's great and holds my hair without making it hard or drying it out. You can find it at most beauty supply stores. The answer to your question depends on how you want to wear your hair. If you're trying to push it back into a ponytail or puff well then style it wet. Put the gel all over and brush back. Then tie a headscarf around your hair pretty tightly and let your hair set in that condition. It usually on takes about 10 minutes for my hair but if you want to wait for it to completely dry then wait for about 30 minutes. It keeps my edges from being frizzy all day and if I remember to tie my hair up at night it even keeps away the frizzies for a couple of days. Also since you have natural hair try this website www.nappturality.com. There are a ton of us with natural hair there and you can get many tips on your hair.

Personally I have used ECO style gel and it does not flake. Being that you have natural hair you should try to part your hair and place the gel of your choice there and comb it in the direction you desire. If you do happen to wash your hair first blow dry it and then place the gel on it also a little jam wouldn't hurt. hope this helps

I have relaxed hair, but one of my friends has natural hair. She swears by Carol's Daughter Products. It is a store in Brooklyn, but you can get their stuff online or at some Sephora stores. I bought some stuff and it worked real good!
