Sumogel Hi-Hold Styling Gel

My waves finally stay separated all day without any crunch, and the crystal-clear finish means no flakes showing up by noon. It's firm enough to hold my short cut in place, but I can still run my fingers through it once it dries.

The shine is unreal—my short coily cut looks glassy and sleek all day without any flaking or stiffness. It’s crystal clear in the jar, which I appreciate, and a little goes a long way for separating my waves.

Tried this on my wavy hair and the hold actually lasts through a humid commute without leaving any white flakes. The shine is glassy but not greasy, and it washes out clean with just water. Definitely my new go-to for slicking back the sides.
