This product is PERFECT for my fine wavy hair. The hold is probably a 7 or 8 out of 10. It holds up beautifully in humidity here in the Northeast. I've been combining this with the regular flaxseed gel now that the humidity has dropped and am very pleased with the results. Never weighs my hair down, doesn't feel tacky or gritty, super easy to refresh (which I do daily), doesn't cause excessive build up like a lot of hard hold products do. Pairs perfectly with the Protein Cream. Customer for life!!
