I will start with a disclaimer...this is my opinion on these products. Not all of these products will work on all natural hair. Not all of these products will be natural or plant based.
My first product is....Jam!
I know that some naturals are not into gels, but this is a really good product. It is labeled as a shining and conditioning gel. The label also states that it has no wax, no flaking, and no drying alcohol. It does contain alcohol but it does not dry like normal gel and it does not make the hair "crunchy". This product can be used on wet or dry hair. I have been using the Extra Hold because I like the thickness. The consistency is very thick...a lot more dense than Eco Styler Gel and Impro Gel, but not as thick as Shea Butter. It reminds me of Jello...lol.
I have been using Jam! for about 2 weeks now and I tried it on multiple styles just to see what it would do. It works wonders for a ponytail...it slicks and smoothes edges really well. I didn't think that it worked better then gel for loc retwist but it did give the locks a shiny, smooth, slick look in the front; which I did like. I like it at the base of 2Strand twist and flat twist. It gives a better grip for the twist if the hair is wet and if the hair is dry it adds some moisture and shine. It also is good for taming frizzies. You can put a little on your fingers when untwisting for a twist out. I would not recommend this product for comb coils because it is heavy. I think it is better for thicker more kinky hair because of the heaviness of the product.
All in all I think that it is a good product for any natural hair wearer to have on hand. I got mine from Wal-Mart on sale, the price ranges from $2-$3 per jar and each jar should last about 1 month.
