Vanicream Hair Styling Gel, Fragrance and Gluten Free, For Sensitive Skin, Unscented, 7 Oz, Packaging May Vary

omg! I am chemically sensitive I can not tolerate odors of any kind and this has no odor. It only takes a pea size and it holds and makes hair look and feel thicker. I 100% recommend it.

After living my full life with skin-lacerating rashes -- often in diabolical places -- a dermatologist cultured a rash and diagnosed me with "contact dermatitis" brought on by "fragrance" or "parfum" found in personal care products. I was told to change everything I used in grooming, with Vanicream products as my anchor. I now use the cleansing bar, shampoo, conditioner, antiperspirant -- nearly everything.Their clear hair gel is elite in every way; it just has no odor or color. A penny-sized amount rubbed between my hands provides front-to-back coverage and a terrific hold with zero clumping. Its contribution to my war against dermatitis has been life-affirming: I'm rash-free, off steroid creams, and looking the best I can.For those with contact dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, eliminating fragrances may prove transformative. I wish you the best! - (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!)

I have purchased this same brand in other forms as well, including shampoo, conditioner, face cream, and hairspray. I bought it because it does not have perfume or dyes and is free from harmful chemicals. there are very few hair/skin products available in this category. I appreciate it that Vanicream produces a variety of affordable products without all the crap that most manufacturers add to theirs. I wish that it had better hold. as soon as i comb my fingers through my hair after it dries, the 'hold' of the gel is lost. But I have had the same trouble with other hair gels I've tried as well, so I can't fault it for that since I haven't found a single hair gel that keeps its hold after it is combed. Overall it's a good product for those with sensitive skin or who do not want to add dyes and chemicals to their skin/hair.

I have unruly hair and need a hair gel. I care for a disabled woman. She is sensitive to all chemicals, fragrances, etc. This product is one I trust to be safe for her and it works well.

I have extremely sensitive skin and over the last couple of years I had to quit using hair products, hair color and make-up which was pretty hard for me as former hairdresser and colorist. Vanicream makes Free & Clear Gel and I also use Vanicream Medicated Shampoo, Conditioner, Moisturizing Cream, Sunscreen Sport Broad Spectrum SPF 35 and Moisturizing Ointment, but was hesitant to use the gel because I have naturally almost black hair and my experience with gel and dark hair is that once the gel dries it tends to turn into white flakes. So, I was utilizing the Moisturizing Cream as a sort of hair cream to keep my hair in place and it worked great when my hair was fairly short (gotta get creative!). I am growing it out a bit. It's about 6 inches long now, so I thought I'd go ahead and try the hair gel. I was pleased to find that the hair gel did not leave any flakes in my hair. I use it on towel dried hair - and sometimes diffuse my hair, then follow up with a pea size amount of the Moisturizing Cream on the ends. If I need some lift, I will use a little bit more of the gel on my fingertips at the roots. If I do not diffuse my hair, I will add the gel to towel dried hair and twist my hair back and pin it. The next day, I'll have a twist and can simply add more of the gel to my dry hair and my hair will stay perfectly with the gel. Again, the gel leaves no white flakes and it has no smell or scent. I can usually keep the style for two or three days between shampoos. It's a great product and I highly recommend it. I will have to try the hairspray next. Everyone's allergies are different, so just because a product is safe for most people with allergies, it does not mean every single person will be able to use it, so just be aware - do a patch test first if you're not sure. I have tried dozens of products over the last thirty-some years and at least for now, this product line has been SUPER and the ONLY skin care and hair care line that I can use. This former hair product, hair color and make-up addict is now hair color-free, make-up free but no longer, hair-product free!

The first time I used this styling gel was after washing with the Vanicream shampoo and my usual conditioner. I worked a dime-sized amount of gel through my damp hair. After blow drying and using a flat iron, my fine hair looked somewhat bouncy and slightly fly-away. I liked that the gel did not seem to weigh down my hair.I do not wash my hair daily, so the next day I noticed my hair felt dry and looked dull. No shine, but matte looking. Then after using a curling iron with no other product added, I noticed the curl drooped after a couple of hours. My hair looked like it was weighed down and overly soft. I did not try this gel with any other shampoo but returned it because I did not like the dull and droopy look. If your hair is not too fine and does not tend to be weighted down with products, you may have a better experience and find that it holds your hair moderately well.This gel did not irritate my scalp, although mine is only slightly sensitive.

Perfect. Does not weight down hair. Unscented.

Excellent hold even when doing intense exercises and great for sensitive skin.
