I have to test the hair combed to one side of the head with the cream, the hair on the other side without. Result:
Without cream to the hair feel softer, but again do what they want, and not remain in the form requested by me.
With cream they feel a little bit dry, but not dried or straw-like. The hair is complaining excessively, they feel by applying "concreted" not hard and on. You can comb your hair well and stay long (though not all day) in the form.
This is one of the few styling products that are suitable for my thin hair.
