Advantages: Gives you a natural look, easy to wash out, long lasting

Disadvantages: None really

Until about a year ago I was an avid fan of Garnier Fructis Hard Gel but then I grew my hair a little bit longer and found that the hard gel no longer did what I wanted it too and moved to the surf hair which I find to be brilliant.

The gel itself comes in a green tub that I believe contains 150ml and normally costs close to £3. It has a yellow lid which I believe is what Garnier use to distinguish between the different gels.

The actual gel is more like a putty than a regular gel but with a little bit more consistency so it is easier to run through your hair compared to other putty's. As with any other gel, I'd recommend putting it on when your hair is damp and not dry as it will makes it easier to put and stops your hair tangling.

The look that the gel gives off seems to be more natural than anything else. It does not give me a wet look or make my hair rock hard, or let me change my style a few hours later but it does hold my hair in place without me looking like I'm gelled up to the eyeballs. I find it to be quite manageable if you run your hands through it and it will go back to its original position quite easily. It also smells very nice and that tends to stay for a lot of the day.

The one thing that used to annoy me the most about my previous gel (Fructis hard Gel) is the fact that you'd spend ages washing your hands. Luckily this is no longer the case and Surf Hair comes off very quickly.

I believe my hair length to be considered medium length and, for me, this gel is perfect. I'm not really sure why they call it surf hair but I find it does exactly what I want; holds my hair in place without making it look like I've clearly wearing loads of gel

Please note: This review may be similar to the one I have done for Garnier Fructis Hard Gel

Summary: Probably not for you if you have short hair but otherwise it is the way forward!
