Gluten-free Hair Gel For Curly Hair?

Hi everyone,

Can anyone suggest a good gluten-free hair gel for curly/frizzy hair? Even though I'd initially decided not to worry about my hair gel, I've decided to try to using a gluten-free one for a while.

My hair is dry and tends to be very frizzy, so I need something that will encourage it to curl nicely instead of becoming like a halloween wig as it dries.

Thanks!

Alice

This one is really good! I have curly hair too.

Magick Botanicals Fragrance Free Styling Gel

Despite the brand name they do not use any "botanicals" in their products. They have very few ingredients and are made for people with sensetivities and allergies.

I don't think they use any soy or gluten in any of their other stuff, but I am not 100% sure.

I have extremely curly and frizzy hair. I finally found a company that deals only with curly hair. I use their products. Their shampoo and conditioner I use do have wheat in it :ph34r: , but their hair gel does not. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it is great for my curls. Even when I use a gluten free shampoo, I always use this hair gel. You can only order it online, unless you live in NYC. Its called Ouidad. www.ouidad.com check out their stuff, I know the wheat stuff is bad.. but when i went gluten free shampoos and such, I felt no different, so I save up the wheat stuff for special occasions... but the gel is completely gluten free. hope this helps! good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'lll check out the Magick Botanicals stuff. Also, what was the specific type of Ouidad gel you use, TinkerbellSwt? I used to use their Climate Control and loved it, but it has wheat proteins (ie, gluten) and wheat amino acids in it.

I use Dove Shape and Definition mousse on my hair. Dove is a unilever company and they clearly label gluten.

I am a member of a curly hair board since 3 years. If you are really interested in getting advice and help with products and stuff go there. They also sell stuff online (Curlmart) and have the greatest costumer service. They have tons of the top curly hair products out there, not Quidad though, which seems to love wheat in their stuff. I haven't seen that wheat free gel actually. Good to know.

www.naturallycurly.com It is a very friendly place and VERY active.

There is one brand that is gluten free, everything but 1 leave in, it is called Devacurl.

Just thought I'd mention it. ;)

I use Gluten-Free Savonnerie myself. It has proven to be just as good as any of the curly hair products I have tried (tons, I was a former product junky). They do not carry a gel though. I use their conditioer as a leave in and then I actually user their Shea Butter as a pomade.

But when I do want to use a gel I use Magick Botanicals, which is actually a little popular on the board.

Dove's Smooth and Soft Anti Frizz Cerme is also very good.

Well, I haven't ever needed anything like a conditioner, but I've read a lot of people find coconut oil (same as coconut butter) does a marvelous job. Apparently it only takes a tiny amount too, so you'd probably save money. You can get a sample before buying a whole jar, to test how well it works first. The sample would probably last quite awhile too. CoconutOil-Online offers samples of a high grade dietary oil (great for cooking and baking). Smells wonderful too :)

When I Googled it, I found coconut oil has been used for hair care for generations.

Hi, I was doing some research on curly hair gel, and wanted to let you know that although some DevaCurl products are gluten-free, the gels and some others are not. Here's a full list:

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
