  Pros

  It has good spreadability, almost no fragrance, good hold, and it's easy to reset with wet hands - it's great.

  Cons

  After using it daily without washing my hair a few times, my hair got damaged and started breaking... As long as you clean it properly after use, there shouldn't be any issues.

  Pros

  I purchased this for cutting and styling my hair! First of all, the price is affordable, and Olive Young only had this one setting gel..? Haha.. After styling with a curling iron, I apply the gel to hold the style in place! I used to mix oil and hair essence, but this has much better hold and keeps the curling iron style looking good even on humid days.

  Cons

  It feels a bit stiff, rather than just damp hair. The store employee said it was a wet gel, but maybe they explained it incorrectly..?

  Pros

  I've been using this product consistently as it has great value for money and my hair is quite stubborn, so gel is essential. The formula is incredibly dense and thick, so I mix it with water when applying. It holds for about half a day, but the results are very neat and tidy. Even when applying a bit more, there's no white cast or residue.

  Cons

  I wish the water-based gel formula would come back. Also, this product is really focused solely on hold, so I wouldn't recommend it to those looking for nourishment or other additional benefits.

  Pros

  Since I have a lot of curly hair, I have to use a curling iron or blow dryer every day. But over time, the curls would fall out and become limp. So I've tried using hair sprays and a lot of hair gels too!! But the Gatsby one had really good holding power. It's a gel formula that you squeeze out and use, and just a little bit can really hold your hair in place. The scent was neutral and not unpleasant, so I was satisfied with it. The amount was also really generous, so I was able to use it for a long time. I think it would be good to use as a hair fixer when it's raining or cloudy, after blow drying or using a curling iron. As long as it doesn't get wet, the hold lasts a long time, so I was able to play and be active without worrying about it.

  Cons

  Since it's a gel formula, and literally hard, it's quite sticky! So hand washing is a must after using it!! And if you apply too much, it can harden and turn white!

  Tip

  I think if you control the amount well, it'll work great for you~! If you're worried about clumping, just brush it through a lot with a comb, and then it won't clump up or turn white later on. It was on sale a lot at Olive Young!!

  Pros

  I was really impressed by the long-lasting hold that kept my hair in place even after several hours of setting.

  Cons

  After setting my hair, it tends to become overly stiff and rigid even after a short while. However, the strong hold seems to make up for that issue.

  Pros

  I think the gel type would be good, so I tried it. It's super strong! The setting power is very good! If there is moisture before applying, you can create the desired shape. It seems to be best set at the stage just before it's completely dry.^^ You can also easily modify it by adding a little moisture. It seems more natural than hard wax!

  Cons

  I try to avoid ingredients that are bad for my body as much as possible. I never let wax or gel touch my scalp, so as long as you're careful not to let it touch your scalp, it should be fine. I don't have any particular complaints! Since I use it carefully. The ingredients are a bit disappointing, but it's not a big deal since I can just wash my hair and sleep and stuff.^^

  Tip

  As I mentioned in the tip above, it gets sticky if you use it after your hair is completely dry! If you shape it before your hair is fully dry and make sure it doesn't touch your scalp, you'll be able to see the strong setting power. I don't do the high-heat drying, but if you shape it before your hair is fully dry after a perm, it works even better!!^^ I recommend using it!

  It has good setting power and a decent amount, so it seems to last a long time.

  Cons

  It becomes hard and solidifies quickly, but the holding power is lacking.
