I was having cervical spine surgery and knew that I wouldn’t be able to wash my hair for a little while afterwards. So, I decided to use the extra hold gel as a one and done. Let me tell you how impressed I am…SO impressed! I’ve worn it up most of the time but I’ve also worn it down a few days as well. It is day 10 and it still looks good! My initial purchase was a 1oz container but I will be purchasing the full size product and will be getting rid of a bunch of products that were just ok! Thank you, Jackie. I appreciate you for the great work that you do, giving us homemade products that work!
