In contrast, the Nexxus brand has no odor or smell, and the hold is every bit as good as the KMS product. Best price I have found here on Amazon. Not any cheaper than KMS, but a superior product in my opinion.
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2015
Why I love it:
1. Gives you a stiff hold after it has dried
2. No stickiness after it has dried
3. Just run your hand through your hair to release the hold
4. No white flakes after hold has been released
5. If you use the gel when your hair is wet, it will give your hair the "Wet Look"
Cons:
1. Expensive
*The items in the "Pros" section are definitely subjective...They could definitely be considered as "Cons" by some people.
I have tried many (expensive) gels, and this is by far the best one I've ever had (for the kind of hold I want).
