Advantages: Good hold, unperfumed.

Disadvantages: Very overpowering chemical smell.

I brought this hairstyle whilst browsing boots trying to find a couple more items to get me to the £20 bracket to get my bonus points (check out the advantage card machine - lots of vouchers whenever I go in there!).

I thought I'd better actually buy some products I might use as I already have a wardrobe full of products I don't use!

I paid about 89p for this product but it was part of a 3 for 2 on boots own braid haircare products so I also brought a styling mousse and something else which has long since disappeared in the vortex that is my bedroom!

This product is unperfumed and therefore has a very strong chemical smell which gets in your mouth and lingers forever!

I occasionally wear my hair with large curls or up and I did find that this product gave it a brilliant hold and didn't disintegrate during the evening to leave a disgusting crusty edge to my hairline!

I would recommend this product, whilst it doesn't smell very nice it does have brilliant staying power and kept my curls looking gorgeous for most of the evening (and by the time they had fallen out I was too drunk to notice no doubt!).

There are definitely better products on the market but for 89p where do you really expect?!

Summary: Not a bad purchase at all.
