Just "ok" for longer hair, good product for short hair
Smooth Viking - Medium Hold<br /><br />Pros: arrives wrapped to prevent leaks when shipped, does an ok job with medium hold, not stiff or sticky<br /><br />Cons: smell nothing special, did not control fizz<br /><br />Initially, I really like that the product comes wrapped (please see the attached picture which shows the plastic wrapped bottle). I have used it for myself (I am a woman and have shoulder length curly hair), as well as for a family member who is a man with a short hair cut.<br /><br />The smell is nothing special. I do really like that the ingredients used include both natural and organic ingredients (Green Tea Extract, Ginseng Root Extract, Vitamin B5 and Organic Chamomile). I would prefer those ingredients over a more preferable smell. While this gel is not super sticky/tacky, it did leave my hair a bit frizzy and a bit stiff. Now for short hair, this was not as noticeable and it worked much better. Based upon my experience, and to counter another review by a woman, it was just ok. I do believe that based upon my uncle's experience, and other reviews, that it would be something safe to recommend for those with shorter straight hair.<br /><br />This does not appear to have a money- back satisfaction guarantee. I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Feel free to check my other reviews - I don't leave positive feedback unless I believe it deserves it. Please let me know if you found this review helpful and/or send me feedback about how I might improve my review to paint a better picture of my experience. I'm happy to answer any questions and will provide any relevant updates :)
