what kind of gel ex: curling gel, scrunching gel.

It really depends on the natural texture of your hair. If your hair is naturally straight, you might want to try a scrunching gel like the one made by pantene and twisting or braiding your hair as you apply the gel, let it dry then unravel your hair.

If your hair is naturally curly or super curly to the point where it frizzes, use some hair serum (pantene or fructis) when your hair is wet and let it air dry. If you still need more definition, you can twist your hair (not braid) and unravel it after about an hour or so.

I used to wet my hair then put moose in
any gel that looks wet and moose have curl written on

If its not naturaly curly it wont work but if it is, gel will work, i like mouse and hairspray combo. You will have to try different things, everyone is different.

I would say to just use tres semme mouse after it is wet and then scrunch it up
