Sorry, but this stuff is awful
Review by Serena on 22 Jan 2025 review stating Sorry, but this stuff is awful
Used to purchase the Supreme Defining Gel religiously-- it was the only thing that worked to tone down the absolute wildness that is my hair. This Ultra gel is like pouring melted Popsicle over my head. Too thin, way too sticky and does nothing for the frizz, leaving me looking like an 80s hair fail. I hate writing bad reviews, but this stuff is no substitute for the other. I've no choice but to shop elsewhere unless Supreme Defining Gel comes back (PLEASE bring it back!)
