I have very short curly hair. I have been using St. Anne's Mountain Mystic Hair Gel for awhile now. I am the type of person who doesn't like to fuss to much with my hair. No drying or brushing for me. I wash my hair daily. After I go through my routine of shampoo and conditioner, I towel dry. While my makeup is drying then I squeeze this green gel into my hands and rub together and massage into my hair. This gives me both, controllable curl, body and a bit of the wet look. The smell is a cucumber melon scent. It smells fresh. It seems to hold my hair in place without my hair feeling sticky or stiff. On the contrary, my hair is quite soft. I got it as a gift set, so I am unsure of the price. Whatever the price I like the product.
