Product Information

Emotional boost: Scents can evoke positive emotions and memories, contributing to a satisfying hairstyling routine. The gel didn’t leave me with any white flakes on my clothing while out and about, but in the morning the usual problems that occur with gel were evident. My hair was full of white flakes, so much so, simply applying more gel was not an option. My hair had to be washed to remove the flakes. Brushing it out was not an option. I have since had my hair cut and don’t use as much of this gel as I had previously, but I still wake in the mornings to find a head full of white flakes. So, it wasn’t a problem with the amount of gel used, it is a problem with the gel. Milani, M., and Sparavigna, A. (2017). The 24-hour skin hydration and barrier function effects of a hyaluronic 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract moisturizing fluid: an intra-subject, randomized, assessor-blinded study. Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology , {online} 10, 311–315. doi:https://doi.org/10.2147/CCID.S144180. Keeps hairstyles in place: PVP forms a thin coating on the hair, reducing its ability to absorb moisture and maintain the style. When used within the recommended concentrations (up to 5%), Aminomethyl Propanol is safe for all skin types. However, higher concentrations may lead to side effects like irritation, itching, and redness.

Anti-freezing and plasticizing agent: It improves the aesthetics and stability of emulsion products across different temperatures. Emulsifier and surfactant: PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil enables oil and water to combine, making it easier to rinse out hair products and cleanse hair effectively. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (4) , or PVP for short, has come a long way since its introduction in the 1950s as a hair fixative. This synthetic polymer is now found in various cosmetics and personal care products, thanks to its film-forming and binding properties. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. I applied the gel to my hair after it had been dried slightly with my hair dryer. The gel’s fragrance when it leaves the tube is quite strong, with a fresh clean aroma with hints of apple. Although the smell was pleasant, the fragrance died down as soon as it was applied.

Conditioning: It helps to make hair less prone to split ends and may even promote the appearance of faster growth. Preserves and conditions: This ingredient not only extends the shelf life of products but also offers conditioning effects on hair shafts. When applying gel, it’s always recommended that you apply to fresh washed hair that is slightly damp. Not only does this mean your hair is clean before application, it also makes the gel go further as it is mixed in with the moisture already present in your hair. Solvent for dyes and pigments: Propylene glycol facilitates the incorporation of colorants into hair coloring and styling products.

The fragrance is clean and it would suit both males and females alike. The fact it can provide a great definition for the hair and I do like it holds the spikes of my son's hair but his hair still looks clean as I have noticed some gels he uses makes his hair look simply greasy which personally I do detest.
