    Great hold for a light hold

    Light gel, doesn’t weigh down my curls but holds thru the day. The gentle smell is an added bonus.

    I need the Hard Hold Gel Instead

    I could probably get away with using this gel in the wintertime when our humidity and dew point are low, but during the sweltering summer months in the South, I need the Rizos Hard Hold Gel that defies humidity and frizz. I will use this again, but I will be waiting until this coming winter to use it. If you live in a dry climate, it may do the job for you, but if you live in high humidity with high dew points, I would avoid using it in the summer months. I had frizz all over my head on day one after my wash day. I used this in conjunction with the Rizos Curl Defining Mousse, and even the combination of those two did not stave off my frizz. I have high porosity, low density, and fine hair that is pretty much Irish curls for the most part. I need lightweight hard-hold gels all summer long to get more than one day after my wash day to get the definition and hold I want.

    Gel

    This girl formula is amazing except the only reason why it’s not a five star for me is because my hair doesn’t hold well. The lightbulb isn’t for me but otherwise the gel is amazing if that’s something you need.
