Fantasia IC Styling Gel with Sparkle Lites is the BOMB, I tell you!! 
I've been combing this board looking for a good product to define my curls and allow me to wash and go. Though I never tried Miss Jessie's or Kinky Curly products, I'm sold that Fantasia does the job. I've got straight up 4a naps - no "4a, with some 3abc, with some 2b and 1c mixed in." If it works for me, trust me, it'll work for you.
What's so great is that Fantasia IC is so inexpensive! At my local BSS a 16 oz jar was on sale for $2.99. It seems the best way to bring out the curls is to wet your hair thoroughly, then work the Fantasia through the hair while the hair is dripping wet. I'd recommend just squeezing excess water out with your hands instead of towel drying, too.
I wet my hair this morning in the shower, applied some NTM leave in conditioner, worked the Fantasia through in sections, and my brushing-shoulder length hair was dry enough (not completely dry) by the time I left for work. I had little spiral ringlets throughout my head. For ladies with 3 type hair, the curls are gonna be larger. But I was happy with what I had. Of course, be prepared for your hair becoming somewhat large.
I should add that my hair is wavy when it's wet since it's not relaxed bone straight, so those are the curls that the Fantasia had to work with. So if your hair waves up when wet and you're searching for curl definition, this is the product for you!
