Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big fan I'm a big fan of this gel. It's super lightweight and NOT STICKY AT ALL. The problem I had with the pravana gel I was using before it that it was so sticky. I had to wash my hands afterwards because I couldn't touch anything or It would stick to me. I didn't have this problem with this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great products! All three of these products are light enough to use in my very fine hair without weighing them down or looking like a wet dog in 20 mins after application. The scent is nice but not overwhelming. I would recommend Matrix to any of my clients who are looking for specific products. The range in products is great and they always deliver the results I'm looking for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well! My son has heavy pin straight hair. Getting his hair up the way he likes it can be hard! I paired this with the overachiever 3-in-1 and it was perfect but the gel kept its hold all day! I was impressed and so was he!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect curl gel Using it for my curls and i love that it doesn't get stiff but holds my style. If you use it on wet hair, you can get that wet, wavy look with this!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not my fave, but it works Its a little sticky, and kind of heavy for fine hair, but it provides hold and tames frizz. The scent is not too overpowering.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Smell I first off love the smell of this gel it's not too one side for fragrance. Also the fact that it holds well and isn't sticky despite being "watery" makes it that much better. Holds curls well, tames frizz even better and it doesn't weigh down

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for curls ! This gel gave good curl shape and hold without a stiff feel . It also helped control fly always and remove frizz from my clients hair. It's not sticky and doesn't leave curls crunchy. This would be a great product for finger waves and finger curls . It has a pleasant smell !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product Good product. Smells great and kept my hair in place without weighing it down.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Decent Gel Smells great, would work better for longer hair; not great to spike mens short hair. Has a very flexible hold. Consistency is watery but not very sticky.
Date published: 2023-01-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Matrix gel This gel smells amazing. It's great for styles that want more texture and it gives ample amount of shine to the hair as well! It has a medium hold and even can be used in curly hair to define curls as well!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from medium hold works ok, doesn't make the hair to crunchy, but I did have an issue with it holding in mens hair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good stuff this stuff if nice and light, it didn't make my hair feel too dirty as other dry shampoos do.
Date published: 2023-01-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from New favorite This is now my go-to gel. I've been wearing my natural waves a lot and have been looking for a very firm gel to scrunch into my wet hair. This is it!! Very firm gel, no leftover residue. Pleasant smell. No weird texture left on my hair for non-wash days!
Date published: 2023-01-07
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Nope Don't like at all, supposed to be a strong hold. Doesn't hold at all feels like your putting water in
Date published: 2023-01-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great gel This gel is one of my favorites! It smells good, it doesn't leave my hair super sticky and tacky, and it keeps my hair in place. Def recommend!
