Well I just picked up a tube of melting gel so I will use it soon and let you all know how well it works out for me! I got some high hopes, but not expectations. Oh and I'm curious, I don't want the melting gel to cover up the smell of my Aussie shampoo and conditioner! Does it do that to anyone else?
Just make sure you start with freshly shampooed & conditioned hair...
No, I don't think it will cover up the scent of your shampoo...at least it doesn't for me.
I would start with maybe one tablespoon's worth to begin.
Apply it to slightly damp hair...and work it through well.
Next, comb & style as usual. Then plan on leaving your hair alone.
(Longer hair may require some Liquid SPRAY Gel).
Depending on just how much Gel you added, you hair should look & feel
moist for hours.
Touching it too much or recombing will loosen everything up...but you
should still have that silky feeling * shine...
Good Luck!
I put some in not too long ago and I think I used too much, like a quarters amount on my 3-4 inch hair. Next time I use it I will try less.
Also though, I got a brush that is used for "smoothing and flatter hair styles" I brushed with it before I showered and the results were really good. We'll see how it works on freshly washed hair.
But thanks for the tips, Luckskind!
