Shockwaves Strong Control Styling Gel

Shockwaves Gel by Wella has been around for years, I remember being 13 or 14 buying this when I first started taking an interest in styling my hair and have used it off and on for the past 20+ years. Although the packaging and imaging have changed over the years the gel itself remains the same - a clear, smell-free gel that manages to control and define even the most unruly hair. I find with this product that less is definitely more - you dont need much of this stuff to be able to style your hair, in fact I find if I use too much it leaves my hair feeling greasy and sticky, so definitely err on the cautious side. I dont have *that* much ...  Read the complete review

I've tried many types of hair products over the years, as a young teenager i persisted with Byrlcreem strong gel and all through my duration in high school that is what i used, but the problem with that was when the gel was rubbed in to the hair, it made my hair clump all together in a batch.

So i went back to the gel market, ...  Read the complete review

The style does not last if you are caught out in heavy rain though, as I have discovered a few times in the past! It's also not good if some of your friends are ...  Read the complete review

I have thick, curly hair and I had been searching for a gel that would benefit my hair. Last year when I was shopping in Boots I noticed that Shockwaves had revamped their products. I had tried their gel before and wasn't convinced, but it was on special offer and I decided to give it another go. Well I'm really glad I decided to give their new product a try because I loved it. --Advantages:-- Shockwaves Strong Control Styling Gel gives my curls great texture and control without any of the stiffness. I hate gels that make your hair so stiff it doesn't move or creates that wet look all day. I just use a small amount, squirted onto my ...  Read the complete review
