I can only recommend it to shapeshift Gum! I have rather short hair (5-6cm) I in places hochgele, but these are very difficult and thus lying flat easy again mostly after a short time. Over the years I have tried various gels and waxes, all led to the same result, or always left a sticky film or did my hair into a block of ice or smelled like bubble gum. Now I was in the summer with a hairdresser and have for the first time allowed to use this gel wax I'm thrilled! Just the mix of wax and gel causes davob I need so little to bring my heavy hair in shape and thus holds a can also rather long (2-3 months). For me personally manages about 10-15 minutes after a shower best, so if the hair is still a bit damp.
