hold style
kenya (498 reviews)

this definitely holds any style. when i put it in my hair in the morning, it makes my hair a bit hard and crunchy but by the end of the day, its soft again. use it to hold your style! its better than hairspray. — 3 years, 10 months ago

Good Product!
mvap47 (345 reviews)

I use a small amount of this in my damp hair before blow drying it and it gives it body and control. My sons use it without drying their hair and it leaves a nice, slightly wet look. Very reasonably priced! — 4 years ago

A steal
azdrienne (101 reviews)

What a great gel! I use this to scrunch into my hair to really define my waves and it works. Holds the style very well. It can dry a little crunchy but that wears out by the end of the day or can be scrunched out easily. For the most part, this isn't a problem. I've even had a friend grab my waves with envy and proclaim, "How does your hair dry like this? You don't even have gel in it!" So yeah, it does NOT make your hair feel producty. Also, this gel smells amazing; floral and clean. — 5 months, 3 weeks ago

FABULOUS!
BoxedCrayons (42 reviews)

My hair is starting to grow out wavy and I always scrunch my hair to get it to curl. I always used Totally Twisted gel and mousse but now I need some more oomph, and this delivers! I can still have adorable cute curls now, that hold fabulously, and long tresses of hair! Thank goodness my hair can now be culry even while it's long! This is a must have be it for scrunching or for making a style or unruly strands stay, a little goes a long way and it's a great investment! — 1 year, 11 months ago

Amazing Product
Rebecca922 (2 reviews)

I have had trouble finding a product that helps curl my hair, but when I found this product in Herbal Essence I loved my hair curly. I have not used anything else since I found it. It lasted all day, and no matter how much money I had to spend I made sure I was able to buy it. — 3 years, 12 months ago

make it stick
Erin_Stet (19 reviews)

I am a dancer and have the hardest time keeping my hair pulled back and out of my face. I put a dab of this in my hair and magically it stays put. — 4 years, 5 months ago

Very drying to my hair
Jasminet (6 reviews)

I have very curly, thick, hair, and I try all kinds of products to help 'tame' it. Although this product does work to give it a 'tame' look, my hair feels feels absolutely horrible to the touch. It would be great to find something that tames my hair and keeps it 'touchable' — 4 years, 5 months ago

Good even for fine hair...
kittymomma (8 reviews)

I dilute this in purified water with a bit of jojoba oil, epsom salts, and tea tree oil, and "plop" in a microfiber towel. It holds without weighing down, and scrunches out to a soft feel. — 4 years, 5 months ago
