    Review (spray gel)—I love this stuff. I’m pretty sure it’s CG I needed something to revive tired curls & I got this stuff. It isn’t as thick as I thought it was going to be. I anticipated a thicker...

    This review is for the flip-top gel, not the spray gel. **as a side note, I LOVE the spray gel - as a lighter hold gel, especially prior to blow drying - I'd rate spray gel 4/5 as a LIGHT...

    I am surprised at the bad ratings. This is my HG hair gel and I have been using it consistently for about 2 years now. I apply it to wet hair after I have applied my leave-in conditioner. I use...

    This is my HG gel. I buy this 2 at a time on sale. It lasts me FOREVER and I only need a quarter-sized amount for my shoulder-length fine curls. I love, love, love this gel. I don't know why it...

    Great smelling gel and the flip top tube is very convenient. I didn't like the quality of it though. When I was scrunching it through my wet hair it got really "sudsy," enough to make me think I...

    I just don't get all the comments about this product not making hair crunchy and dry as that is exactly what happens when I use it. Maybe my curly hair just reacts to gel differently. But it's...

    This is basically the same as the Body Envy gel. I don't seen any difference except in smell. It also didn't give me the wet, gelled look I wanted. And my curls hate gel. So, to the hair...

    I absolutely LOVE this gel. The packaging is great - a simple inverted tube so you can actually get the gel left in the bottom of the tube (you paid for it!). The price is a steal - $3-4 for...

    I love spray gels. Seriously. And I love the no-gunking-up pump spray action of this bottle. So I used this the other day when I set my hair on my hot curlers. I didn't expect it to hold as well...
