First, let me say, I don't like gel, but I love, love, love THIS gel. It is the only gel that lays my hair down without being hard, sticky or leaving a white residue. For my ponytails, my puffs, and my high buns to look smooth and sleek, I don't a scarf, I don't need extra water, I just need this gel. Thanks, Entwine, for this product.
