I gave this 2 stars. This stuff looks like Curls Goddess Glaze and that did not quite work for me. My hair is thicker than what this gel can handle. It was very thin in consistency. It disappeared in my hair and it did not look like I had really put anything in my hair. I am not sure what it is, but it made my hair feel rubbery/plasticky in a strange way. I was aiming to wear my hair down, but it looked too crazy so it is in two fuzzy pigtails.I will see how it dries to comment if it remains soft. I cannot speak for the shine right now, because it still looks a little dull to sheeny. My hair is still a little wet, but I am not holding my breath on this one.And lastly, if you like a citrusy smell, then this is for you. It smells sort of like lemons, but milder.
