Aunt Jackie's Award-Winning Braid + Twist Collection Hold

This extra-firm gel from Aunt Jackie's Braid + Twist Collection helps you sculpt tidy, long-lasting styles while adding shine and supporting hair strength. The formula pairs biotin, a protein-rich nutrient associated with hair resilience, with honey to support moisture retention and surface gloss. Designed to work with a wide range of natural textures, the gel sets without excessive flaking so your protective styles look polished for days.

How does this gel help my braids and twists stay neat?

The extra-firm hold locks hair into place and controls flyaways around the hairline and parting areas. Its smoothing texture helps compress strands together, reducing frizz and revealing crisp braid and twist definition.

• Extra-firm hold for long-lasting definition
• Applies cleanly to roots and hairline without heavy residue
• Controls flyaways and reduces frizz for a smoother finish

What do biotin and honey do in this formula?

Biotin contributes protein support to hair strands which can help hair appear stronger and fuller when used as part of a haircare routine. Honey adds surface shine and helps retain moisture, keeping braided and twisted sections looking healthy rather than dry or dull.

• Biotin: protein-rich, supports strand strength and volume appearance
• Honey: enhances shine and helps preserve moisture in styled sections
• Combined: balances hold with nourishment for protected styles

How do I use it for locs, and will it cause buildup?

For locs, apply a small amount to new growth or roots, comb to distribute, then twist or palm-roll as usual; air-dry or sit under a hooded dryer to set. When used sparingly and rinsed during regular washing, the gel is designed to style without excessive buildup—follow your normal cleansing routine to manage product accumulation.

• Apply to roots or new growth, comb and twist to set
• Air-dry or use a hooded dryer to speed setting time
• Regular washing prevents buildup; use clarifying as needed
