I don't trust anything to hold these edges., So really I just kinda Beyonce it.''. I woke up like this.'' ( air swishes, ) (, sign squeaks, ), (, upbeat music ). The main thing I know about this gel is that it is called Gorilla, Snot., Very aggressive, marketing.. I know very little about it other than it's supposed to be a really strong, hold. [ Participant ] People use this gel for very extreme hairstyles, like a mohawk or like a punk.. So apparently I'm supposed to try some really great gel. That'S gon na slay. These edges., I don't trust it.. This is a lot of hair and I'm need a lot of hold.. We'Ve got some goob action going on here., Ooh., Okay, it looks like snot clearly.. I don't know how much I'm supposed to use. I'm a little worried. Even the first amount is gon na, be too much., It's tacky, the longer I put it on.. I can tell it's starting to hold.. I don't know if this is for my hair type.. This is obviously, I think, gon na be more of a wet look like a slick look.. It looks like how I definitely hate my hair when it looks wet. It holds, but in a different way., It's 90 % there.. I think this will work really well on a twist out or a wash and go. Something where you're actually trying to style it.. I think I need to be around a two on the hold meter and I'm on a 10 right now.. I feel like there's a slick, sheen vibe, that this could be a good nightlife gel.. I'M gon na say that it's not my style, because it's very, very shiny and that wet look that I don't go for., But I would give it a try.. I'M gon na go throughout the day, see how it holds up, but I'm confident that it'll hold., It just looks wetter to me right now., It's hard., It feels hard.. I don't know if this is what I want.. So it looks like the general consensus is that it's crispier looking, but not really all that different.. I will say that it held up well.. The rep that it gets for holding it's grip is legit.. Okay, so I'm not mad about this product.. It didn't flake up.. The little curls that did pop up are shiny., It didn't flake, but this isn't something you can just slap on and go.. You definitely would need a brush or a styling scarf.. Unfortunately, I'm not having the best experience. But honestly, I do believe if I had a hair dryer it would've looked fine and perfect.. I'Ve had this hairstyle for a while with the Moco De Gorila Gel and, to be honest, I'm not as mad as I thought I would be. It's, not a hair gel. I would use every single day, but if an occasion comes - and I need something stronger, I know what to use now. ( sign, squeaks, ),

Sha The Gem: i'm mad she used her fingers as if that's really how she does her edges!...whip out that toothbrush girl

wtf: I’m Latina and I have basically lived with this gel moco de gorila is my moms best friend

sophia frost: I use it and got 2 glue for keeping my edges down and keeping my wigs in place. Ive never heard of anyone actually putting it IN their hair. I wouldn't recommend using it in a twist out like she said

Pineapple Soda: All my Mexicans knew they clicked on it because they've probably seen or used it

Royalstarvintage: Us Mexicans are proud for you making this video :)

Josue Vega: *Why did I assume everyone knew about this gel?*

naomii yt24: POV: your here after the lady who use gorilla glue instead of gorilla snot

Finntastic: One time I went to the drugstore to buy some hair gel. I saw this and bought it because it was a small amount. I had no clue how strong it was

Eli w: I remember moving from california to Florida about 10 yrs ago and the barber putting me up on game with this gel! I loved it and had never heard of it. barbering has blown up since then along with products for mens hair. This product still holds it own for sure!

Eva Phalise: How have I never heard of this? I have natural hair so I'm definitely looking this up right now!

Nay Lashay: The Yellow one is the TRUTH! I used it for my twist out and LOVED it, video on channel!!

Kemi: This is what she meant to use not Gorilla Glue.

Curlee Fryyy: My former coworker used this and it held her hair perfectly and her edges are healthy lol. I remember she was recommending it and another coworker was like “gorilla snot?? Is it really gorilla snot?? I’m not about to be putting no snot in my hair”

cranberry soda: The yellow one is my favorite. Perfect for curly hair.

Ashtyn Paige: Me and my mom use the yellow one on our hair. Smells great and keeps hair together

Lissa S: This is honestly the best gel I've ever used! Hair slayed, edges slayed! Perfect to gel down my crazy curls

E.: "I don't think this is for my hair type" me on 90% of the products I've tried

Kris c:: I used to use it in the purple squeeze bottle when I had short hair. It's amazing, but it's REALLY hard to wash out lol

Manika Gorham: It will lay your edges but watch out it has alcohol in it and will break your edges off. If your going to use it you should mix it with an edge tamer or hair oil because it tends to get a little flaky.

Maria Garon: I've been using this product for years to control all those crazy baby hairs. Moco is the bomb!

Erica LaShan and the City: I just discovered this product and I think Im done seaching At first I got the "gelan" and then I bumped it up to the "sport" one. Total control.

Calea Murry: I use this stuff, but the level 10 max hold. It is literally a god sent. I don’t use any other gel or edge control because none of them work the way this does. It’s also reactivates when you wet it soo you don’t need to apply more. I can do a wash and go and use this gel and not have to apply any more for the next week. I just wet it and I can put it up or down or in buns and my curls still look great and the gel still holds great.

Eric Khaimov: I used this product for a few months it gets really crispy and dry after a few hours of wearing it but it lives up to what they say it does.

Jonathan Melendez: If you were young and Hispanic you definitely used it

Bry Driaa: I love this I use the yellow one and it keeps my edges laid to the gods hunty and idk what everyone talking about but mine never fell out.

Shania Washington: I love it because nothing would hold my edges all day the way I wanted it to and it doesn’t flack at all not even a lot of build up its some I can use everyday

Tabitha Melville: I use the red one on my natural. It definitely hold my hair in place especially when putting my hair in a bun. My edges are tamed. What i do at night just spray with water brush it up, put my scarf on and go to bed next day just get up and go. Love, Love Love this stuff. Not really sure what the different color one do tho?

☼YouBetterWorkItYooooooo☼: HEY THIS STUFF WORK WONDERS! I been using this for my edges foreverrr!!!

Brianna Saenz: I use this for my eyebrows instead of brow gel. It works miracles.

Alem J: I have seen these in the store before, I have never actually looked at what they were for. I thought it was a cleaning item

The Queen: I used the yellow one to lay my edges as well it holds up soooo good

shemoya simms: im asian amd my friend introduced me to this gel i know its specifically for people with thick hair thats hard to handle but it still looks good (my friend introduced me to something called cornrows it doesn't look bad at all )

Chase Calderon: I use it all the time and it holds my hair in place. It helps alot when u wet your hair.

AngelicOblivion90: hey! I used to use this for my cosplay wigs. it was great for spiky anime hair wigs. but I never used it on my actual hair though.

Samaiyah Ali: I use this stuff all the time its literally the best.. and personally I think it smells amazingg

Amirah Zoë: I have always used this gel. It works for my hair and I have really thick hair

TheLazyFatMan: This is the only gel I use. My hair is really weird. I'm Mexican and have curly/afro hair. I tried using other types of gels but those would flake up on me. This one doesn't.

Marbella Velasquez: i use it all the time when i go out, my hair is very thick and the strands are also so my hair is a mess and this gel keeps it nice and strong

クロくん: Oh my god I’m so glad this video was made. My mom wants me to use this for my edges and I don’t trust it.

Diamond Gamble: I used this stuff on my twist out like it was gold.... and tried to convince my aunt to use it. She didnt use it because of the name. Smh more for me

Nieceyyy y: I got the purple one and it holds your edges for a very very long time but after 24-48 hours it starts flaking and it’s really easy to come out with water I really like it

UnPhayzable: Damn, I'm *gel-ous*

Jasmine’s World: I use this gel for my slick back buns it works so goood omg

senateboy0909: I use to use hair spray that would make my hair rock hard when I use to go to school, would of loved using this if it existed or I knew it existed.

Nayeli Orozco: When I was little, my dad used this gel and I used to think it was real gorilla snot

The Tiller Willer!!!: I remember my mom would put this is my hair everyday. Save the hassle of flattening my hiar. #curlyhairstruggles #2013

rideordielove 1: Is it me or does my whole Mexican family use it?;-;

Elizabeth Shaw: Think about it. We really do live in a wonderful time where you can pretty much do anything with your hair or your clothes or your makeup no matter your color or your gender. we live in a much more you do you world today than we did when I was growing up and I'm not an old woman.

CC Paul: She was right when she said you need to apply it to your edges with a brush and a satin scarf for best results

Chenai David: It does work to lay edges but it works best on clean hair with no previous product and a satin scarf for sure!!

Snatched.: I mean I'm Mexican and have known about this stuff my whole life..... I had no idea it was this big of a deal. To me and everyone I know, it's just gel lol

CalderonDeMorales: I love this stuff and it smells hella good!!!!

Danny Orozco: I use the one in the yellow bottle and I noticed it works better when you apply it to your hands and add a little water to it as well

nadia: i use this to slick back my hair for dance competition, but the only thing i'd say is after maybe 4 hours of the gel my curls start coming out and after i wash the gel out my hair is still stiff

Kiyanna Unique: I have 4c type hair , the gel holds my edges up really good

Rolando Corona: I like how this hair gel went from swap meets to discount stores

Shrimp Gamer: That’s my favorite gel ever. Holds so well

*-ariana-*: i thought everybody knew this gel already my brother would use this all the time lmao

Garlic Bread: You know you’re Mexican when you have seen moco de gorilla at least one time in your house

Kyle Koepf: I've used the yellow one and it works like a charm

Aaron Williams: I usually use chemical free hair products for my curly hair.. this looks like it would work but probably has to many chemicals in it

Chantelle Toomey: I use this on my 4 year old be can play outside and take a nap with it, and still hold the style in. I have friends who use it to keep little baby bows in hair.

sjc04d: My curls are always Poppin with this gel. There's super crispy yet flexible hold with zero flaking or the dreaded product dust.

Chuy C: I used this back when I was younger

Terrian Stevens: YOU HAVE TO USE IT WITH WATER!!!!!!!! IT WORKS SO MUCH BETTER THAT WAY!

Ari. Anna7: I haven’t watched the video yet but gorilla snot hair gel is my favorite because one it’s very stick and you don’t need a lot to style your hair

D Valentine Bernabé: Omg when I was younger I use this and stopped and it made my hair fall out so stopped using it. But it's great for holding hair. I think they have variants now.

Rachelle Chung: The purple and yellow colored bottles are the best ones for thick hair like mine. I put it on my edges and then wrap my edges with a hair scarf for 10-15 min,(the longer the better ofc), and it holds ALL DAY until i wash it out lol the only thing that works and i use to hold my edges down. The red bottle snot gel is less tacky and doesnt hold well in my hair so people with fine hair should use that one instead.

cyn: Latinos can relate

Mercury In Reverse: my dad uses this all the time and when i was younger and before my mom and dad divorced my mom and grandma told my dad that the moco de gorila gel made his hair fall out lol and it is but i think thats just part of his family

Zoë Graziella: My dad used to use it so I started using it. It kept our hair in place but it flaked a lot

phiona lin: Her natural hair is beautiful!

rreyynnaa: This was in a necessity in my Mexican household living with four brothers

Volcano: Bro I use this gel every day ITS SO GOOD...the good part is that it actually stays and that you can use it for sports Edit: something weird about this though is that all Mexican people use this, especially at Mexican barbers (FYI I'm not Mexican)

AJW: As a natural I debate trying this out ALL the time.

ayanna: to all my ladies if you use gorilla snot on your edges or on your hair period PLEASE make sure you moisturize your hair underneath since i know people say it can be drying and can flake up

Kaylaaa: I used this before and I LOVE IT

Kintara Williams: I use the yellow one for my natural curls

Sica Ngo: I’ve seen these all the time in the hair section in Walmart growing up, what’s the difference? Do they all have that “wet” look?
