Review of Matrix Biolage Gelee Firm Hold Gel

For years I have used nothing but LA Looks Hair Gel for when I wanted to add some curls to my hair. However over the past year Walmart has discontinued carrying it, and instead of my old time favorite gel on shelves, I found myself with very slim picking of gel that promised what LA Looks delivered, only the results were nothing short of a frizzy mess, with tons of build up and flakes.

Matrix Biolage is hands down my all time favorite hair care line, but the downside to Matrix is that it is a very expensive line of products. When I discovered that they made hair gel though, I nearly jumped for joy at how well it would work. After checking the price tag attached to the bottle of Matrix Biolage Gelee Firm Hold Gel though, I almost ended up putting it back. I was not at all used to spending nearly $20.00 on a bottle of hair gel, heck, the most I had ever spent before was around $5.00.

I popped up the cap in the store and inhaled the scent. To my delight Matrix Biolage Gelee Firm Hold Gel had that beautiful musky scent that all of Biolage hair care products had, and as guilty as I feel about saying this, the scent was what caused me to go forward with this high end hair gel purchase. I had been majorly disappointed with most hair gels available, and after spending so much money on Matrix Biolage Gelee Firm Hold Gel, I prayed it worked well.

My Use:
 
In order to get some bounce to your step, using hair gel must be done on clean fresh hair, when it is still wet/damp.

I added a good amount of the gel to the entirety of my hair. What I loved was how the gel saturated my hair, and such a small amount went quite a ways in my thick, long hair. As I dispersed it throughout my locks, I took note that this gel had to have the Biolage serum in it, because I could feel the oiliness that only the serum contains. This was not a bad oily feeling though, quite the contrary, it is the good kind of oil that your hair will absorb.

Once my hair was saturated with the gel, I let it be and went about my day to let it dry naturally. The results were nothing short of perfection. I had used tons of different gels, and many of them would leave behind a thick build up, which would weigh down hair, while others did nothing at all.

Matrix Biolage Gelee Firm Hold Gel however leaves the hair with soft touchable curls, with no build up and complete control. The frizz I usually get when I curl my hair was non-existent.

I fully believed that when I bought this expensive bottle of gel, that I would end up returning it after finding it did not work well, however I was beyond pleasantly surprised at the results I got out of it.
My hair was left feeling soft, yet curls were very evident and frizz free. The hair was shinier and seemed healthier as if it got a bath in nutrients and not just some sticky icky gel. All in all, Matrix Biolage Gelee Firm Hold Gel is hands down the absolute best gel I have ever used.

Overall:
 
I never thought I would ever recommend buying a bottle of hair gel that cost this much money, but after using it I fully recommend you give it a shot. It will forever be my newest must have hair gel.
