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.
