Great hold, silky soft hair

14 years ago
I have dry frizzy hair and it needs control. I also don't like to spend a lot of time on my hair, wash, gel, go is my routine. I love that this new product has no chemicals to seep through your skin, it smells great and the hold is really great, not sticky or eye poke out stiff. It also seems to help moisturize my hair, it makes it soft and silky.

Disappointing

13 years ago
Like another reviewer, I signed up solely to offer feedback on this product. I was so happy to find a naturally-derived gel, but I believe you should go back to the drawing board with this one. It dries with an unappealing gummy feel and residue; it leaves my hair dull and limp. Frankly, it's one of the worst hair-styling products I've tried. Garnier usually does much better! Wasted my $s!

Miss previous gel version

2 months ago
I was disappointed to see that it upgraded, I really liked the older version of the gel, the one without the aloe. It was like my all time favorite gel. I bought and tried the newer version, the new one with aloe and it doesnt have the same hold that I was accustomed to that the older version had. There are no stores around where I live that has the older version. I had to go to Ebay to find, and I got 4 of them.

Left my shir stidky, matted, and dirty feeling

Left my hair feeling sticky, matted and dirty feeling. I have fine straight hair and blow dry it with gel to add body. This the worst, and the only completely unacceptable, produce I have ever used. I have to rewash my hair after using it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there! We are sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the new formula! It sounds frustrating when a product you rely on changes and no longer meets your expectations, especially when it comes to something as important as hair feel and hold. "Stiff hair" and "lack of hold" are definitely not the results anyone wants from a hair product. Your feedback is valuable, as it helps companies understand how product changes impact their users.

Q: I just want to verify that this product does not contain phenoxyethanol? When I look on Amazon the ingredients lists do not match up. 

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, Phenoxyethanol is a preservative used in some cosmetics to preserve product quality and ensure consumer safety by preventing the growth of microbes. When it is present in our products, we label it clearly in the ingredients list on packaging. We use the optimal concentration of phenoxyethanol, which is below 1%, to ensure our products remain safe and well protected against microbes, so with no risk for the consumer. As it is the case for all our products, we always assess their quality and safety profile before they are placed on the market by internal and third-party experts.
