Hard to explain this product, like nothing I've ever bought before but so, so works for braiding! I smooth some over to dry hair and it just gives my hair a lived-in texture, with no stickiness. I usually braid my hair on the second day after washing...

I have very thick hair and struggle to get it to stay in place. I used this when plaiting my hair and it made it so much easier whilst stopping all of the flyaway bits.
