I have a love-hate relationship with this product. When it was first released years ago, it was amazing. No pilling, no white flakes, no white streaks, nice texture and amazing hold. It quickly became my go-to gel. I usually buy two at a time and each generally lasts a couple months. Fast forward to recent times. I’m not sure if the formulation has changed, but instead of a clear color, it’s now less transparent, it pills horribly (even on top of products from the same brand), it dries with white streaks, and the consistency is awful. It feels like I’m putting a bleach based product in my hair, and leaves my hair and fingers feeling squeaky afterward. If the formulation has changed, I’m truly disappointed. I loved this gel, and it has been difficult to find a gel that is natural and has great hold and consistency, and makes my hair look like the previous version of this gel used to make my hair look. Also, customer service used to be amazing. Now I can‘t even get someone to respond to my concerns about this product via email.
