Source verdict

The reviewer found that Mielle provided better definition and shine when dry, while The Doux offered more volume but less definition and some frizz. However, she noted The Doux's unique ability to reform its cast after hair gets wet. Ultimately, she suggests the choice depends on personal preference for definition versus volume and cast retention.

About this source

This video provides a side-by-side comparison of The Doux Block Party and Mielle anti-humidity gels. The reviewer applies each product to different sections of her hair to evaluate their performance on application, wet and dry results, and longevity over four days.

Review notes

The Doux Block Party is a unique anti-humidity gel, particularly impressive for its ability to reform its cast after getting wet from sweat, making it a good choice for active lifestyles. While initially appearing less defined when wet compared to Mielle, it still provides a good balance of definition and volume once dry, surviving four days and stretching without flaking when the correct amount is used. Its cast holds up remarkably well over four days. If you prioritize a gel that maintains its hold and cast even with light re-wetting, The Doux Block Party is an excellent option. However, if you seek maximum initial wet definition, you might find it requires careful application or appears less defined than competitors.

What the reviewer liked

  • Reforms its cast after getting wet from sweat
  • Provides a good balance of definition and volume
  • Offers better value (16 oz for $25 compared to 8.8 oz for $20)
  • Features a pleasant "sunset peach" scent
  • No flaking after 4 days and stretching when correct amount is used

What the reviewer criticised

  • Initially appears less defined when wet compared to Mielle
  • Can flake if too much product is used
  • Results in more frizz in the front sections of the hair
