In desperation I grabbed the promising-sounding hair "spiking glue" also from got2b to control my hair and hold it's style. That goop is astonishing in it's own way, but I haven't mastered how to effectively style with it. The spiking glue (yellow tube) starts pliable but rapidly dries and stiffens.This stuff (styling gel) starts watery and styles watery but once it's dry your hair is fixed in place. I retreated to this which is the weaker of the two products but "weaker" is misleading. The clumps and shapes you make at 9am are still bonded and firm at 9pm. I never had any hair product work this well. Every product promises extreme control, but unfortunately I have a bucket of barely-used products that didn't live up to their marketing description. Hair gels should have a ten point "hold" scale. This is a seven or an eight. (With a ten being: styling your hair with concrete.)
