SexyHair Style Hard Up Hard Holding Gel | Extreme Hold | Non-Flaking Formula | All Hair Types

great hair product for men, it really helps soften and hlp manage wispies, caution it is oily and should let sit in your hair and dry for putting it on a pillow or against the couch back. Otherwise, the serum works exceptional to soften dry brittle hair highly recommend.

My husband has been using Hard Up for years and honestly, I’ve never seen him more committed to anything. This stuff is no joke we’re talking serious, all day, cement-level hold that does NOT quit. And yet somehow the gel itself goes on completely soft, easy to work through your hair and no smell, which still kind of amazes me. No fighting it, no clumping, no crunchy mess just smooth application that locks in and stays put from morning coffee to evening chaos. It dries fast which is a big plus. Zero flaking throughout the day, which we have definitely tested. My husband has tried a lot of hair products over the years and this is the one that actually stuck around — much like the hold itself. 😂 If the man in your life needs something that means business without the stiff, flaky, greasy aftermath, point him toward this tube. I use it on humid days to add volume to my flat hair.

I have always had a lot of wispy hairs around my hairline that annoy me. I have very fine hair, and have several fans going at all times in my work space, and the feeling of those little hairs tickling and tickling my face drives me crazy. I’ve been looking for a strong hold gel that I can just put on the stray hairs in the morning, and then forget about it. I want a gel I can rely on to hold all day- and then some. I am old enough to remember the incredibly strong hold styling products we had in the 80s we used to spike up or hold up the masses of volume that we strove to get into our hair. I remember I.C.E. Gel by Joico had a really strong hold, as well as that teal blue gel KMS made, or the spray gels like Spritz Forte by Sebastian (I still remember its sweet, alcohol smell) that faithfully kept your hair in place through a long night of dancing, and through what came after. I can’t find any of those old reliable products any longer. Is it that one or more of the ingredients in those oldies but goodies is now possibly banned? Or, it could just be that nowadays, not as many people want to put that kind of 80s gravity-defying volume in their hair. I tried a few big box store gels, like Gorilla gel, whose holding agent-heavy ingredient list looked promising in terms of delivering hold, and a few other gels that claimed to give a “super strong hold.” None of the products I tried held the little wispies beyond an hour or so, and I ended up returning them all. I found the Got2 Be gel in the yellow tube to have an adequately powerful hold, but the smell and texture of the product reminded me too much of Elmer’s glue. It just wasn’t pleasant to use. (Their hairspray is amazing, though.) I read through the reviews submitted for supposedly stronger holding gels here on Amazon, and this one caught my eye. Many reviewers (thanks, guys!) mentioned decently strong hold. I decided to try the smaller tube of it, and if it didn’t work, I would give it to a friend. It arrived. I sprayed some water around my hairline, and brushed the hair back. I dispensed about a dime size of the Hard Holding Gel into my palm and distributed it to my other palm, and then applied the product to my hair line. The Gel is a fairly viscous blue gel, on the thicker side, but not annoyingly so. It has a light, fresh neutral scent that is barely detectable. It’s formula reminded me of the not-strong holding Gorilla gel, so I decided to add more product to my hairline, as I wanted to make sure I had enough to feel what it was like, and also to make sure those annoying hairs were finally tamed. It was hot and dry today, so the gel dried quickly. And- I was transported back to those no-nonsense hair gels of the 1980s. This stuff has true holding power. In fact, by accident, I had put way too much in my hair, and when I run my hands over where the dried gel is, it does feel crunchy. But weirdly- it doesn’t feel not right to me. I guess it’s because I don’t intend to brush out my hair later, or perhaps that I am used to products that hold like this from using them back in the day. I just want my hair to stay put, for as long as possible. And I can tell that this Hard Holding Gel is going to deliver. I tried brushing through part of my gelled hairline so I could report what that was like. The gel brushed out clean, without any flaking, and no crunchy feeling remained. Though I really over-applied the product, I can’t feel it on my hair, unless I touch it. I mean- there’s no weird extra stiffness or feeling of a product’s presence on my hair, as with the Got 2 Be gel. My hair is, finally, just doing what I want it to be doing. This smaller sized tube is going to last me a long time, because I know now that a much smaller amount than I initially applied will be powerful enough to do the job. This gel re-activates easily with a bit of water, too. And it rinses out clean. Anyone looking for a powerfully holding hair product that will allow you to spike or slick back your hair or otherwise have it defy gravity, and have it hold ALL DAY, should definitely check out this product. This stuff is the real deal. Thinking back again to the hairstyles of the 80s, I bet this gel would even be powerful enough to hold up one of the big Mohawks a few of my buddies sported. And to do that takes some no-nonsense, powerful holding hair gel. Really glad my search is over for the ideal, dependable go-to styling product. Highly recommended!

I discovered this product recently as I was looking for a replacement for the discontinued Super Glue hair gel by American Crew. I went through several other products before I came to this one and they all did not live up to the expectation of the Super Glue until I tried the Sexy Hair Hard up. Not only did it live up, it surpassed it in my opinion. I have curly hair that can be hard to work with. I used to use the super glue with the American Crew firm gel as a mix to make the super glue a little less thick and workable. The Sexy hair product replaced both of those. The gel is soft and easy to work with but then becomes sticky without leaving any dried up globs and holds my hair in place without fail. I also do a lot of high end activities where I might sweat or be outside getting wind blown. The sexy hair hard up holds firm in those conditions too. It’s now the best hair gel I have ever used and I’m grateful I came upon it. If you are looking for a replacement for super glue and I’ve seen a lot of frustrated people out there looking or just need a reliable product to sculpt hair or work with difficult hair, this is the product to get.

Very small tube. Not a great value but IT ACTUALLY HOLDS. Too expensive for the amount you get.

I've used this product for years and will NOT be without it! I normally buy it in 2-pks, just to make sure that I always have it on-hand.

Bought this for my boyfriend who uses hair gel everyday. He used a different gel before but complained that the formula had changed and wasn't as strong. After doing a little research I found this gel. I bought it for him to try out. He loves it and says it's exactly what he was looking for. He has very short hair and uses about a quarter size everyday out of the shower. It only lasted him about a month and a half but maybe he uses more than he needs. It doesn't flake or leave any residue on pillows or clothes that I've noticed. He just ran out and got some more. If you're looking for a strong hold gel that doesn't budge and leaves no flakes, this is it. Price is worth it.

Works great. Big hold, don't use too much if you have fine hair. A little goes a long way. It dries stiff if you don't blow dry.

I love this product. Came in good time. As expected.

Es un gel que no puedo dejar de usar, excelente fijación.

Great product. Works as it should. Nice fragrance - not overpowering.

Good product and good hold

3rd class please do not buy worst product
