This is almost identical to Paul Mitchell Lab Extreme Thickening Glue, but this costs 50% less and you get 50% more product. The ingredients aren't identical, but the product action is. If anything, got2b is better. This is used to spike your hair, ot if it is medium short like mine, it makes it look like I went to the beach, let my hair dry thick with that beachy look, then slept on it to mess it up more. To use this, i put a quarter size on damp, but not sopping hair (towel dry and wet a little with a comb). Then work it through and arrage messy how you want. I blow dry the bangs so they are in order. then let air dry-it will stay arranged and messy. I use clarifying shampoo if these products build up. I have fine, wavy hair in a razor cut.
