Love this gel, for creating any look that hold and shine! I have it in my professional kit at all times. Whether it’s a groomsman that needs some extra gel to hold up his hair or someone with a curly hair do this gel always saves the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gel smell nice and has a pretty good hold. I put it on my 6 year old son prior to school drop off and by pick up time at 2pm, it looks somewhat decent. His hair isn't messy but it's not super nice like it was in the morning either. I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review.

It works great and doesn’t cost a crazy amount, what’s not to love. We use this for flyaways and for slick ponytails. This is also our go to for dance competition buns. It’s doesn’t leave a residue and dries clear. It smells nice too. What’s not to love! When it’s on sale, I usually buy two at a time.

Leaves a white and flaky residue, very disappointing. I cannot wash my hair every single day, so not ideal for me. I holds for most of the day but is a bit sticky

This Hair gel is very good for boys or girls. This hair gel stays very good. You need this because it is not that of a bad of a price. It is very worth it I think that you should get it.

Not strong enough. I bought this gel to help lock my sons curls in. He has thick hair and the curls often loosen on top. This was fine while wet, but once it dried his curls feel flat up top.

For dying hold I’m sure this is for you, but if you’re looking for a soft hold, it’s very heavy. Not for me! I have very thick curly hair and if I’m looking for a really strong hold. I’d go with Got2B products!

I have long, thick, curly hair, and it’s very difficult to find a good product that lasts. This is my go to gel. Target has it on sale periodically and the price is great for the quantity.

This gel is amazing I have nothing negative to say. The consistency allows it to glide through curly hair efortlessly. It is not drying and provides great hold and definition.
