I've used this gel for wet looks which it is perfect for. My hair stays in place for as long as I want it to but the product has to be washed out afterwards. I did not experience any flaking using this gel. The only downside is the scent of the gel which was overpowering.
I'm not really a gel kind of girl I prefer wax for flyaways. But my boyfriend loves this product. The fragrance is also overwhelming very manly. However, it gives great hold and is a good quality product.
