The same Hard To Hold formula as the 454g tub, in a 246ml jar. Buy this size if you use it occasionally, or if you want to try the hold before committing to the large one.

The gel gives strong, lasting control with aloe vera in the base, so the hold does not come at the cost of dryness. Slick-backs, sharp ponytails and defined curls all keep their shape through the day, humidity included. Shine is the other half of it. The polisher formula finishes glossy rather than matte, so styles read as sleek instead of stiff, and it dries without flakes or a sticky film.

It works across hair types. If you are choosing between the two sizes, the jar is easier to travel with and the tub is better value once this becomes your everyday gel.

Application tips

The 246ml bottle is the one that fits a bag, which makes it the version for touch-ups away from home.

Squeeze a small amount onto the fingertips for edges, a palmful for a full slick back. On curls, apply to soaking wet hair in sections and rake through so every strand is coated, then leave it to set hard before you scrunch the cast out.

Results

Definition comes out sharp: a wash-and-go holds its clumps, a ponytail keeps a clean line, and flyaways stay where they were put.

The cast breaks easily once dry, leaving soft hair with the shape intact. Aloe keeps the hair underneath from going brittle across a week of daily gelling. Colour-treated and relaxed hair takes it without any dulling.

Composition

Aloe Vera
Softens the hair while the gel sets, so nothing turns brittle
