Maximum hold gels usually come with a trade-off. You get the grip, and you also get white flaking and a shell that cracks when you touch it. Pegao's Stick To It is aimed squarely at people who want the first without the second.

It is a firm gel in a 177ml tub, and the hold sits at the strong end of the scale rather than the flexible end. That makes it a good fit for sculpted styles, sharp partings, slick ponytails and defined curl sets that have to survive a humid day. It is not the gel to reach for if you want soft, touchable movement.

Apply to damp hair in small sections and shape as you go, because it starts setting quickly. Rinse your brush before it dries in. Works across 2c to 4c textures.

Application tips

Damp hair, always, since a max hold gel on dry hair grabs and goes patchy.

Smooth a small amount over each section with your palm for a sleek look, or rake it through and scrunch for curls. Shape it once and then stop touching it, because reworking a setting gel is what causes flaking. Let it dry fully. Scrunch the cast out afterwards if you want softness.

Results

Hold is at the firm end and it lasts a full day, including wind and a train commute. Edges stay laid, curls keep their shape, and nothing collapses by the afternoon.

There is no white residue on dark hair and no gritty flaking, provided it went on damp. The finish has shine rather than a matte, dusty look. Washing it out takes one shampoo, no picking required.
