Finally a hair gel that works
-01.27.13
I actually bought this gel for my 7 mth old baby. I tried other brands and it wouldn't hold his hair into a baby mohawk now he looks like the gerber baby so cute! Best part is the next day his hair is super soft but still has hold and it's gentle

Not a fan, no hold for my hair.
-12.14.12
I have very fine hair which I just cut very short. I needed something to provide some hold when I styled it. This was not it. It does not do anything. I tried using more but still nothing. I normally like Bumble and Bumble products but not this one.

Not just for "way out" hairstyles
-11.22.12
Quick Take: easy to use, gives a nice finish
I use this product for soft "non-crunchy" hold and lift on my short wavy hair. I use with a diffuser or just air dry. It is very versatile I hate hairspray and the dry crunchy hair it results in. So this is a great alternative. Just start with a little and build as you learn its properties. I have used it on wet, damp and dry hair. Love it.

Fantastic Gell!
-08.31.12
Quick Take: shine, soft, manageable, great hold
A little goes a long way with this and if you follow the directions, you won't be disappointed. Start with a VERY small amount and work your way up if you want more height and lift. I have a pixie cut and wanted something for a more "tousled" look with out crunch and some shine. Unlike a lot of products out there that give lift - you get a matte finish or semi-matte and crunch. I didn't want that. It dries fast so you have to work somewhat fast. Totally worth the money since a tiny amount goes a long long way, I will be buying more...eventually!

Versatile and shine galore
-08.12.12
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use
I think this is the best purchase yet! Product is thick and a little goes a long way. Start off with a small amount and build as you need. No sticky, stiff hair here! If Sephora had a auto delivery I would be on it for this one! Long or short hair I think it would work.

My daughter recently had her first dance recital and we were told that her hair (which is long and thick) had to be parted on the left and slicked back into a ponytail for it. We used Gellac for that hairstyle...and, wow, it did an awesome job! Her hair stayed perfect thoughout the entire recital. Very impressed with this product.

Was looking for some "wind tunnel" tested gel to give my hair that crunchy wet look. This is it!!!!

hair doesn't move!
-11.17.11
Quick Take: easy to use
ive been using b&b products for years, and i just discovered this one at my local sephora (so happy they carry the brand now!!)
this stuff is awesome! i have chin length hair, with an annoying cowlick and a ton of fly-aways. i initially bought this so i can slick my hair back, but turns out i also use it everyday to tame stubborn hairs and keep my style in place!
my first reaction: Elmers Glue!! ... but in a good way! it will keep any hair in its place! create those crazy styles and tame wild hair without a ton of pins or stiff hairspray.
its not super gooey- but i always wash my hands after using it anyway.

Gellac Rules

Quick Take: lightweight, easy to use
Absolutely Positively Amazing! As a professional MUA I am expected to style hair, and am always looking for quick styling products. I needed to spike some medium length hair and whipped this out. It was precisely what I needed. It wasn't too ooey gooey. I was just thrilled with it. I can imagine you can build an impressive style with it, or just spike here and there. It's phenomenal.
