Max Green Alchemy MGA Vegan Sculpting Hair Gel Tube - Extreme Styling Hair Gel for Women & Men | Organic Formula of Styling Products Provide Strong Hold & Lasting Control | Color Safe | 5.5 Ounces

Finally a PVP-free that actually works well. Can no longer justify using the synthetic polymer based gels that wash out of your hair and accumulates in our environment. Truly don't need much and holds perfectly. Probably about the same $ per application as the less expensive synthetic stuff that requires more for the same hold.

This is a product we purchase on repeat. Works as described with clean ingredients.

I love how this gel is not greasy, has a fresh citrus scent and is water based. It also contains organic and natural ingredients/oils and is good for your scalp. It does not provide a real stiff hold, if that’s your desire. However, I call this the utility of gels as you can use this everyday. And I’ve noticed that my hair stairs in tact when it’s hot and humid. Some complained about flakes and other issues. Everyone’s hair and scalp is different, but I did notice a huge difference (one I never noticed before) when I bought the MGA shampoo and conditioner. I do agree that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. My hair is no longer dry and thirsty so take some advice and analyze what you wash and condition your hair with too, not just the styling products.I’m going to order the largest bottle they make for this gel as it’s a better value. Again, my hair is wavy, curly and thick, so if this worked for me, it should be ok for you. It’s not too keen on being shiny, so, you may have to use a spritz or hairspray for more shine, but I’m a guy and not too worried about that. I find myself using a moderate amount of gel each time I use it so don’t be surprised if this goes quick as it’s water based. The seller also has a website and you can purchase directly if you desire. I tried the smoothing balm the seller makes and it was great too, but this one works better for me and has a slightly firmer hold.

Revision: First of all, I did get a refund and an apology for it not holding like the label suggests. However I no longer consider it to be a "dud." but upon continued use I've become happy with it's soft hold and appreciate that it doesn't turn my hair into a helmet-it does hold my hair neatly at my desk all day and looks like there's nothing in it. I also like that I can wet my hair and reset it in case it does get tussled. I also like the healthy ingredients. At first I hesitated buying it given the price, but those are some seriously beneficial and my dandruff and itching is much improved. However, the geranium and other oils, give off a strong smell that unfortunatel doesn't fade all day, so I put extra cologne on to mask it, since I prefer not to smell like an exotic entree. Finally, the tube has lasted-I'm about half way through it after I think it's been at least four months of using it 3 or 4 times a week. I plan to buy it again.

Bought it as a gift, here is the feedback I got: This product offers a great balance between firm control and cleanliness. It holds simple styles in place without feeling oily, plastic, or flaking in an unsightly manner. Since trying this product, I used one other clean gel product in a pinch. I was dissatisfied and purchased this product again before finishing the substitute. I am completely satisfied with this hair gel and do not plan on trying anything else to meet my styling needs.

If you have a long hair don’t buy it. it is not gonna be effective for your hair because the product is not holding the hair

Works great! Holds well, not too sticky.

It leaves my hair pretty stiff!
