Clear gel with hydrolysed wheat protein in it, which is a more useful combination than it sounds. The protein helps curly and permed hair keep its own shape while the gel holds the style you have set, so the result looks like your hair rather than like a helmet.

It goes on colourless and dries without flaking, which is the main reason people keep a bottle of this specific gel around. Edges lay down flat and stay down. Moulded and sculpted looks keep their edge. Wet looks stay wet looking rather than turning grey and dusty an hour later.

  • Firm hold for moulding, sculpting, finger waves and laid edges
  • Dries clear and stays flake free on dark hair
  • Adds body and bounce to curly or permed textures
  • Restyles with a spritz of water instead of a full rewash

473 ml, and it covers 2c to 4a hair. Fine hair should use it sparingly, since protein plus firm hold can read as stiff if you overload the strand.

Application tips

Damp hair, not wet. Take a small amount on the back of a comb for edges, or in the palms for a full mould, and work it in section by section while the hair still has give in it. Shape it, then leave it completely alone until dry.

Water on a brush the next morning brings the shape back, no rewash needed.

Results

Hold is firm and it stays put. Finger waves keep their edge, moulded shapes keep their line, and a laid hairline stays laid instead of lifting after two hours.

What it does not do is flake, which on dark hair is the main reason a gel gets thrown out. It dries invisible. Curly and permed textures keep their own bounce underneath rather than being flattened into a shell.
