Customer Reviews:
Unpleasant Smell
While it does a decent job at styling, the smell is off-putting for me. It's quite strong and lingers, which is a deal breaker. I wish they would consider a fragrance-free version.
Easy to Apply, Average Hold
The cream spreads easily through my hair, which is a plus. However, the hold is just average. It works for a casual day, but not when I need a more polished look.
Perfect Hold, Lasts All Day
I'm really impressed with how well it holds my hair in place. No matter what kind of day I'm having, it stays put. It's also easy to apply and doesn't leave any residue. Definitely a game changer for me.
Great for Thick Hair
I have thick, unruly hair and this cream works wonders. It tames my hair without making it feel heavy or greasy. It's the best I've tried so far.
Good, but Pricey
The cream does its job well, but it's a bit expensive for the quantity provided. I would say it's decent value for money, but not outstanding.
Not Ideal for Fine Hair
I have thin, fine hair and unfortunately, it doesn't hold my hair as I would like. It might be better suited for thicker hair types.
