    I was really underwhelmed by this product from Aveda. The high price point does match the quality one would expect. You could buy a cheaper drug store gel that would work better than this, or...

    Like all things Aveda, it's plant-based. It smells very strongly like the Whole Foods beauty department, which is to say, full of essential oils. It's a bit off-putting for me, but if that's your...

    I don't get the rave about Aveda products, I never have. This one is no different than the others I have tried. It's ok, but too pricey for what it does. You can get the same result with DS brands...

    It smells disgusting, doesn't distribute evenly through hair, and makes my hair so stiff and sticky even after it's dried. I have thick frizzy hair and I don't think this product helped AT ALL, it...

    This is by far the best gel I've ever used. Now you have to really know if a gel is the right product for what hairstyle you are trying to achieve. I'll be the first to admit gel isn't the most...

    This product works well for me. I use it as a holding gel and it keeps my hair in place. It's strong, hold lasts all day. It smells a bit like patchouli oil to me but the smell fades soon after...

    This stuff worked like an average hair gel. Kinda on the Pricey side in my opinion 5 fl oz for $16.00. This is a medium hold hair gel and it held my curls for about 2-3 days and it seemed to flake...

    Just OK. And for $14 bucks I want something better than just OK. The stylists keep trying to sell me this and Be Curly, but the best thing I've found for my wavy/curly hair is the humectant...

    Aveda's Brilliant Retexturizing Gel is excellent on my wavy/curly hair (that is frustratingly straight underneath). Texture is medium thickness, very sticky but effective for shine and hold. I...

    This works well to smooth my frizzy hair. And, apparently, the smell is quite appealing to some guys.

    Heavenly smell, firm hold, really makes hair 'behave!' Too strong for thin, fine hair IMHO.

    Very nice, versatile gel, could be used to make curls curly, or blow out for sleek straight hair, and has that lovely smell.

    This is a great product. It makes my hair thicker and easier to style, and controls flyaways, without being obvious - it doesn't look like there is anything in my hair. It adds a beautiful shine,...
