sticky and flaky [SEP] i usually always read reviews on hair products before buying but i bought this gel on a whim from my local pharmacy it smells good and does a decent job of defining my curls but the flaking was so bad that i had to re wash my hair i thought maybe it was the products i used before i applied the gel but looking at the other reviews it s the gel it also made my hair feel tacky after it dried i felt like i had to wash my hands after every time i touched it too expensive to work so terribly
