Tame even the coarsest hair with our organic, handmade Hibiscus Gel, specially designed to achieve the perfect sleek ponytail. This powerful gel provides long-lasting, ultra-strong hold, keeping your hair in place while remaining gentle on your strands. Enriched with Hibiscus Oil, it nourishes and protects your hair, preventing breakage and dryness.
Unlike traditional gels that leave hair stiff or flaky, our formula gradually softens after 3-4 days, maintaining a sleek look without buildup. Whether you're styling a sleek bun, ponytail, or edges, this gel gives you the perfect balance of hold and hydration.
No crunch. No residue. Just sleek, nourished hair.

Recently got your strong hold gel in Hibiscus Sunshine and it was the absolute best! My hair has never been moisturized by a gel and locked in for days while still smelling good and holding pattern. So glad I stopped by your booth recently in the Sentara Hospital parking lot in Woodbridge. I’ll be stopping by again soon for lotions and oils after hearing more about them from the lovely lady working the booth last Thursday 😊
The Hibiscus gel works really well. Keeps my hair smooth so that I can wear my hair in ponytails and updos.
I have 4b curls, and even if this gel has a weird texture, it gets the job done. I barely had any residues, my hair was shiny and wavy. On top of it I did not have to re touch my hair the whole week ...
J'ai testé ce gel sur les cheveux de ma nièce et on a adoré. Je n'en ai pas appliqué beaucoup et le gel a quand même réussi à discipliner ses cheveux. Elle était toute mignonne. Pas de résidus ni d'effets carton.
Du jamais vu. Un gel qui plaque mes cheveux pendant 3 jours. Je n'en reviens toujours pas. Merci beaucoup Kank's

Did you know that over 10,000 toxins have been found in beauty products marketed to Black women—toxins linked to fibroids, cancer, and other diseases? Trust Dr.Kanks for clean, safe, and scientifically-formulated beauty products that prioritize your health.
Most brands formulate their products with medium porosity hair in mind, which often leads to ineffective results for other hair types. These products struggle to penetrate low porosity hair and fail to retain moisture in high porosity hair. At Dr.Kanks, we specialize in porosity-specific formulations that ensure every hair type—low, medium, or high—receives the targeted care it needs for optimal hydration and health.

Dr.Kanks specializes in porosity-specific hair care and plant-based skin products, using minimal synthetic ingredients and sourcing natural components from local and international suppliers.
When I first started formulating, I didn’t know about hair porosity. My journey began by giving free samples of a curly cream to women buying wigs from my first side hustle. Initially, feedback was positive, but then some women mentioned the product couldn’t penetrate their hair or define their curls.
Puzzled, I noticed a major difference when using the same product on a woman with high porosity hair—it defined her curls at first, but they vanished once her hair dried. This led me to dive deep into researching hair porosity during my PhD. I discovered that different porosity levels required specific formulations. Months later, I created a curly cream specifically for high porosity hair, tested it on the same woman, and the results were mesmerizing.

Hi, I am Dr.Kanks
There was a time when I hated my hair and wore wigs 24/7. It wasn’t until the Afrocentrism movement in Belgium that I learned to embrace my natural hair. That journey inspired my mission to create clean beauty products that help women feel confident in their skin and hair.
Recently got your strong hold gel in Hibiscus Sunshine and it was the absolute best! My hair has never been moisturized by a gel and locked in for days while still smelling good and holding pattern. So glad I stopped by your booth recently in the Sentara Hospital parking lot in Woodbridge. I’ll be stopping by again soon for lotions and oils after hearing more about them from the lovely lady working the booth last Thursday 😊
