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:

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
