Review (2/5): Very strong hold, but rough on the hair!
I always buy and use Krieger's regular soft gel bottle and I bought this not knowing that it was a "hard hold gel" and simply thought it was the same soft gel in an easier-to-squeeze container. My fault of course for not reading thoroughly. I went ahead and decided to give it a couple tries instead of returning this product. This product is a really good "hard hold gel." I even went swimming and brushed my head a few times and for the most part, my hair style stayed the same. The main reason why I am giving this a 2 star is because this product is rough on the hair. It's quite tough to wash out the gel and really thickens/dries out the hair. If you want a product that really keeps your hair-style through the whole day, I highly recommend this; however, be prepared to scrub your head hard and use a lot of shampoo/conditioner. Aside from that, I'll be sticking to Krieger's regular soft hold gel.
