Birchbox Breakdown

If you’re cruising the coastline in a convertible or trekking to work through wind and sleet, you want a hair product with a strong hold over something light and pliable. This firm formula gets the job done without being sticky or flakey. While the sleek bottle adds instant style to your sink ledge, the aromatic blend of tonka beans, amber patchouli and Spanish moss is equal parts alluring and masculine.

How it Works

The sulfate- and paraben-free formula utilizes the brand’s signature Liquid Complexes, plus frizz-resistant technology and a UV color protection shield. Vitamin B5 prevents greying and hair loss, while an extra boost of conditioner repairs damaged hair and keeps flyaways at bay.

How to Use

Squeeze out a dime-sized dollop into your hands. Apply to clean, damp hair and style as desired.

Vitamin B5, Liquid VibranceTM Complex (Black Currant, Soy Yogurt, Algae, Yerba Mate), Liquid VitalityTM Complex (Acai Berry, Hibiscus, Mangosteen, Vitamin C), Liquid DefenseTM Complex (Burdock Root, Oolong Tea, Irish Moss, Vegetable Protein), Liquid PurityTM Complex (Lemongrass, Gooseberry, Organic Oatmeal, Golden Seal)

Good hair Gel even if a bit pricey

I love the No4 Clarifying Shampoo so got me to purchase this product. Great hold and shows some texture on certain cuts nicely.

It was okay

The Number 4 firm hold hair gel is really really sticky. I used it on my damp hair and it was sort of hard to work with. I dont think I would have been able to use it on dry hair. The hold was good and kept the frizz under control from the majority of the day.

Great Gel!
Sampled

I have a big cow lick - that makes my bangs separate and go crazy. I used a little of this before drying them and it made a huge difference. :)
It smells nice too.

This looks great without being plastic

Received a sample of this in my monthly box and loved it! It provided a really nice hold and look without giving my hair a plastic look. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Surprised - new gel fan

I personally hate gels because they always look to "wet" for my style. This holds extra firm, which is great for thick hair, but looks dry! Definitely in love with this product, and am reconsidering my dislike for hair gels now.

Who uses hair gel anyway?

What is this 1999, who uses hair gel anyway? Its sticky, flaky and down right nasty to put in your hair. I don't know why I even gave it a chance.

Holds firm but not soft to touch.

This stuff smells great and the hold is very good. It is not exactly my style, i prefer the soft feel after my hair is fixed. If you like to hard look, this is what you'll want to go with.

Too gelly

This has a strong hold all day control, which is nice. But it gives you the "i am wearing a ton of gel" look.

Strong and firm

I tend to use a putty type hair gel but once I used Number 4, I don't think I'll ever use a putty again. This gel smells much nicer than most hair gels and it makes it very easy to pull off the Don Draper hair style.

Solid hold with good shine

I have always been the wax kind of guy. Usually because it does not leave my hair stiff. However, this product showed me that gels are a great option and even though this left my hair stiff it makes up for it with it being good for my hair. Most gels have lead me to loose some strands of hair but this one doesn't. I'm very thrilled with this product.
