Q
the color blue shows in my hair. do you make in a neutral color? am I applying work or to much ?
Asked by Bill
Verified Reply - Brand ExpertFor best results, emulsify longer between the palms of your hair to dilute product and apply. You can also mix with a crème or oil product such as Style Sexy Hair Slept In Texture Crème or Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Oil to dilute product. We make a lighter version called Not So Hard Up Gel. Not So Hard Up Gel, is a softer but still ultra-shiny version of the best-selling Hard Up Gel. Much like the Hard Up Gel & Slept In Crème styling cocktail – voted Sexy Hair's # 1 loved cocktail by the education team for years – Not So Hard Up Gel is the perfect ratio of all day hold and flexibility. Show your softer side with Not So Hard Up Gel! Have fun, and enjoy!Was this answer helpful to you

Will definitely be purchasing again!

Actually purchased this for my husband & now I am using it also. We both have short hair but need the strong hold that lasts all day - this definitely does! I would recommend to anyone who likes to sculpt their hair & have it stay.

Great for Shine!

I purchased this to try on my naturally curly hair. When I use other products with it, it does just fine. I can't use this product alone. Even though it claims to have a high hold factor, it doesn't. It does, however, provide plenty of shine! Giving it three stars because of the hold factor. I could...

Contains Drying & Irritating Alcohol

I gave this hair gel a try, as my usual Kenra hair gel was out of stock at the time. This hair gel is well packaged, but that's where the positives end. This product offers a solid hold, but it leaves the hair and scalp feeling dry. Turning to the formulation of this product, it contains alcohol and that's not an ingredient recommended by any cosmetologist for hair care. Kenra hair gel does not contain any alcohol and that's the product that I shall return to once back in stock.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Probably would have liked this gel for the hold and shine, but it turned my highlights blue. Not sure why it can't be a clear gel, but as long as its blue, only for dark hair.

Great gel for curly hair

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I have fine, very curly hair. My stylist recommended this gel and so far it works great! I only use about a dime size on my hair after washing. It does a great job holding curls in place without heaviness or residue

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
