GIOVANNI More Body Gel, 6.8 oz. - Volumizing Style, Hair Thickener, Plumps Hair, Seals Split Ends, Adds Shine, Paraben-Free, Color Safe

Love this shampoo. I have a lot of hair but it is really fine. This shampoo really helped. Got my product in less than a week.

I like this stuff. Works really well.

It's difficult to find a light, volumizing hair gel without harmful ingredients that also does what it claims and doesn't leave your hair feeling gunky. This gel by Giovanni comes about as close as I have found. It adds just the right amount of oomph to my very fine, very thin hair without weighing it down. My only complaint is that it has an overwhelming smell of rubbing alcohol when you squeeze it out of the tube. The smell dissipates quickly and the fact that the product contains alcohol isn't a deal-breaker, but if you are phobic about "hospital smell," this may not be your jam.

I've been using a hair thickening gel from Whole Foods for years but it's discontinued. I've tried many kinds of hair thickeners but most make little difference or make my hair stiff with no body. I was so surprised when I tried this product today. My fine, thining hair feels and looks much fuller and thicker and has great body. I'm so happy.

I have used this brand before and I am still using it. The ones that I got before are from WholeFoods. They work very well. They hold my hair back, easy to clean, dry fast, and feel good. They are like paste. Thick. This one I got from Amazon is totally different. It is so thin that it comes out from the tube like liquid. When applied to hair, it is very slimy and dry fast. It is so slimy that even I took a shower, it does not wash away. I use my hands to apply it to my hair. Afterwards, I have to scrub hard to get the slimy off my hand. The ones I bought before from WholeFoods easily wash off. No need to scrub. This product dose hold well. It is so strong that it is as hard as a piece of plastic on my hair. The other ones I got hold well too. But my hair still feels natural. This one does not.

That being said, though it works pretty good at holding my 2b curls, I can't shake that it makes my scalp itch. If I were to wash my hair daily, I don't think it would bother me, but as many of you with curls know.. that's a royal pain and I usually wash every other or third day. This really starts to itch and make my scalp flake. The gel itself doesn't flake off of my hair, but after using this for about a year, I'm going to have to try and find something comparable. It's so hard to find a good holding gel that is more natural. Most make my hair feel horribly greasy, and I have relatively dry hair and a super dry scalp.

I have used this product for many years. My last order was a different product, so I think the hair thickener is not being sold anymore. Dropped from the Giovanni product line perhaps.

Love the volume. Just bought another one!
