After I've tried so far at least. 10 gels and pomades, convinced this product ultimately most. All gel ud pomades have let miss look after about 1-2 hours all Wet. The Sebastian Glanzspray other hand actually holds about 6 hours. It lays down on the hair and causes a natural looking Wet look without stickiness. However, one needs more splashes than is specified on the bottle. A star deduction there for the very high price in combination with such a small bottle. Still convinced of this product across the board. Strong buy recommendation.
