Blind Barber 121 Proof Thickening Style Gel - Medium to Strong Hold Hair Gel - Water-Based for All Hair Types - Paraben & Sulfate Free Products for Men (2.5 Ounce)

Good value for money because it lasts forever without losing his properties

Great for a man’s hair. Holds it in place all day without looking plastered down or stiff. I have tried 10-20 products over the years for my husband and this works the best.

As someone with thinning hair, I'm always on the lookout for styling products that can offer a reliable hold without weighing down my hair or leaving unwanted residue. Upon using the product, I appreciated that the gel is sulfate and paraben-free and that it has a pleasant scent of tonka beans. The water-based formula is undoubtedly a plus, making it easy to rinse out, which is not always the case with styling gels. However, I must admit that the advertised medium hold is somewhat misleading. In my experience, the hold is more on the light side. This might not be an issue for those with fuller heads of hair or for anyone seeking a more natural look, but if you're in need of something that can withstand a windy day or keep a firmer style in place, this might not be the right product for you. I do take into account that my thinning hair could affect the performance of any hair product, and that may have contributed to the lighter hold. Despite this, I was hoping for the medium hold that was advertised, which left me a bit disappointed. On the upside, this style gel does give a very natural look after application, which is commendable. It doesn't leave hair looking stiff or overly styled, which is a look I prefer and I'm sure others will appreciate as well.

Growing out a very short pixie cut a little bit. Needed some goop that would provide some volume with a round brush This product is supposed to have some kind of fibers in it to provide the volume. Have been using it a couple of weeks now. Seems to do the trick with a round brush and quick blow dry. It’s not stiff or sticky, applied with finger tips,, small amount goes a long way. Really smells great, too.

Made my hair really frizzy and dry caused lot of damage highly don’t recommend. I absolutely loved the wax but could find it on Amazon and honest after just trying this product I will not being getting any more products from them

My boyfriend absolutely loves this product- he’s super picky with what he uses on his hair but this product- on point:)

I bought this for my husband. He wasn't aware of this product. He uses gel, needless to say, he will be using it going forward.

Many thanks to you, fellow jungle explorer, as well as the seller for the chance to share my experience with Blind Barber 121 Proof Thickening Style Gel. Wholly unfamiliar with the company and clueless about the alcohol reference, I did a quick search to identify the provenance of their made in USA product line. Turns out this New York-based salon enterprise complements your quiff with a complimentary quaff--hence the "proof" in the pudding, er, hair gel. The tonka scented product is transparent and viscous–the deep, boozy vanilla fragrance lingers for some time after application. While it brings remarkable control to styling thinner hair, it’s not a particularly strong hold in the hairspray sense, and frankly, claims of perceptible thickening are a reach. Slick without feeling greasy, it works through wet hair smoothly, weighing down curls and flyaways alike. However, once dry it becomes fairly weightless and lends body as promised--neither tacky nor hard to the touch, smoothing remains evident. Finally, I dig that it’s a net zero, plastic neutral package, although it seems bulkier than needed for the 2.5 oz. quantity.

Great product just the right hold for me

Poor , the bottle is almost empty
