Pros of both
Maximum Hold
Great value
No flaking (in my hair)
Nice, light smell

Cons of both
Can leave the hair feeling hard

So what's the difference between these two gels? Well the ingredients list is exactly the same except for the oils so there's no dramatic difference between the two. In my hair, both gels work just fine for sleek ponytails and curl definition.

In other comparisons, there's strong claims that one gel holds better than the other, but obviously this is something that simply depends on your hair. What may hold better for one person may not be sufficient for the next person. There's also a few who say that the argan oil gel flakes less compared to the olive oil gel.

I personally think the olive oil gel holds just a little better but overall they're the same. I have not experienced flaking with either gel.

Bottom Line:

It's a tie, but depending on your hair one may hold a little better than the other.

Review:

This gel is very good quality considering the price and the large amount per jar.
It has a good hold and did not cause flaking in my hair. I'd recommend moisturizing your hair with a leave-in conditioner before using the gel. Using it alone can make your hair feel a little hard. It also washes out of my hair without a problem.

Other reviews for this product are generally good and it's considered a favorite product among the natural hair community. There are a few people who said they've experienced flaking but that could be due to other products they may have used with the gel.

Note: It's better to buy from a beauty supply store since the online prices are higher. Also, other people have said that the jar cracked open from shipping. 

Bottom Line:

Good value. Great hold. Buy in a beauty supply store for the best price.
