I go to an Aveda salon and the minute my hairdresser used this on my hair I knew I had to have it. My hair is like Alice's from Twilight, lots of texture, spiky and messy. This works great for...

The only product of Aveda I can actually use. I love the feeling of a blowout, but hate how it's too sleek and soft. I use Aveda Custom Control gel wax to bring back texture in my hair, without...

There are 4 reasons why i dislike this product. One, the fragrance is horrendous! It is like dried saliva, or bad breathe. Yucky. Two, it is more like a gel than a wax, i don't like to be mislead....

I have medium length fine Asian hair, and this product doesn't work for me. The packaging is different; it reminds me of a underarm deodorant container. The texture of this product on my hair was...

"Gel wax" says the label - this is supposed to be a liquid gel that works like a wax or pomade. I have short hair and like the piecey look - this does not get me to "piecey." Applied to dry or...

This product didn't work for me, but maybe it just wasn't meant for use on really thick, coarse hair like mine. I have relaxed hair and I was looking for a product to use on my ends when I feel...

My hairdresser used this on me when i got a short cut. I may be in the minority in that i really don't care for the Aveda smell. Possibly because I am sensitive to strong fragrances, but this scent...

Finally.... I found a styling gel that actually works! I have very straight hair and I need volume. This stuff does that for me. I apply it to wet hair right at the roots then dry it with my head...

Hmm. I love the smell, as with all Aveda products, and the consistency of the gel works pretty well with my kinda frizzy hair. But in the course of things, I can't imagine repurchasing an item...

Custom Control is a heavy gel-like styling treatment for hair. I have straight and heavy Asian hair. I tried the Self-Control wax and it was too sticky and ended up in globs in my hair, even...

This was my "step-up" product from Self Control. But there aren't that many similarities. The smell is softer than S.C., but still in the same family. The dispensing is novel, allowing me very...

This is a part liquid, part gel...it's not my favorite product from Aveda. I didn't have nearly as much control as with the control paste.

Like all Aveda products this stuff is eco-smelly, all random essential oils. The deodorant-like dispenser is, well, interesting. This stuff went on sticky and had a tendency to really get gooey on...

This is a great styling aid! It helps style my hair no matter how I do it that day! It's a little sticky, but it smells amazing, as do all Aveda products!

This is a 2.6 oz. twist up container ($17 USD) that makes it easy to control how much product is dispensed. It has a nice scent (much better than the Self Control Stick in my opinion) and offers...
