L'Oréal Studio Line Design Gel

I purchased this product for £3.00 (2 for 1 offer) some time ago when a gel crisis hit my household. L’Oreal Studio Line is not a brand I would normally rush out and buy, but in the absence of any firm favourites on the shelf in my local supermarket this had to do. The Ultra Strength gel suggested that it would be good enough to keep my spiky hair in place for what was going to be my first week in my new job.

Although it could do with smelling better, this is the ultimate in gels and better than any wax around, apart from maybe Dax wax (as it still does not make your hair look natural). ...
