My Results Compared

What differences can you spot? If you’re wondering why my hair color varies so much in these photos, some of it is due to slight lighting changes in the photos, but it’s mostly a result of the hold levels. The stronger hold a gel is, you can get more of a “wet look” which makes the hair look darker. This can also be from a higher moisture content. My hair is so light in the first photo with the Frizz Retainer because of the lighting and because I did not get much hold with it.

Please keep in mind hold level is often subjective and you may have different results than me!
