The Lock & Twist Gel is thick and feels like jelly, but absorbs easily and clearly in your hands and hair. It's non-sticky and non-coating, which is important when you apply them to locs. You want products that absorb into the hair and not sit on top of it, flake or coat it heavily (like beeswax would). You also want your twists, locs or coils to move freely, which this gel allows them to do.
