Best product for my hair I have ever found.

4 months ago
I have been using this product for 15 years at least. I even take my own to my stylist when I get my hair cut. He has nothing that compares in his line of products. It gives body and hold to my very straight and fine hair. I am distressed when I have difficulty finding it.

you price at 4.99 but none of your resellers sell at that price. They sell almost double and that includes all your resellers. Not at all ethical. May be you should sell online

    · 9 years ago  

    I used to use artec texture line volume, and loved, loved, loved it.  Is studio line extreme hold head lock mega gel comparable to it?  If not, which of your products is closest in quality to the artec.  I miss it!

    1. Loreal Consumer Care USA
      · 9 years ago  

      Hello Peggy46! We do want to let you know that the Artec Texture Line Volume product you are referring to is a Professional L'Oreal product, not a retail product. We have a separate toll free number for professional products if you would like to give them a call for a similar product. As for the retail products, this Mega Gel product will provide long lasting control, structure and definition for hard-to-hold styles. If this sounds like a product that can help your hair than we would suggest to give it a try!

    Is this the hardest hold gel product? Some are rated 9, is this one rated 10?

    1. LOrealConsumerCare
      · 9 years ago  

      Hi Josh! Thank you for your interest in the Studio Line Extreme Hold Gel. There was a package update. The extreme hold will be one of the hardest holding gels. If you are interested in trying one of our other gels with maximum hold, please try the LOCK IT Extreme Style Gel. We hope this information is helpful.
