Not an alternative to Mlting Gel

6 years ago
Eating gel was a manageable flexible hold with a light feel. I used it for many years. This product is no better than the other gel products available from the grocery store shelf. Melting gel helped L’Oréal stand out from the competitors with a product that was different and very reliable. Clean gel is not that product. Bring back the melting gel and bring back lost customers

Please bring back melting gel! It’s a decade later and people STILL begging you to bring it back or make a “new” product with the old melting gel formula. With this many requests you have to wonder is L’Oréal unable to swallow their pride and admit it shouldn’t have been discontinued or something? Never seen a following like this before for a drug store hair product. Is there a Kerastasse product that’s the old melting gel at double the price? Please share the name if so. I will buy it.

Great product but they don't make an airplane restricted travel size in 3oz or less. 1.25 or 2oz sizes are needed.

I just don’t like the “clean smell”. Bring back the old formula from the 80s and 90s. It used to smell lemon like and Walmarts styling fiber strong hold has this exact smell. However, it is not as good as the old gel.

Bring Back Melting Gel

This product is not a good substitute for Melting Gel. L'Oreal, you need to admit your mistake and bring back Melting Gel. I am reluctantly looking elsewhere to replace Melting Gel. L'Oreal are you listening?

Not good at all. Melting Gel was a lot better and not as sticky and stiff as this one is. I am not sure why Loreal would not bring back Melting Gel. It had a strong hold, mild smell, allowed the hair not to look natural.

This is not an alternate to melting gel. I am sure your marketing team is seeing sales numbers and saying oh this is working but mind it half of those purchases are a result of customer mistaking the product as same as melting gel. Bring melting gel back and keep this SKU for customers who like this one

    What is this gel about?  Is it like a mouse?   What is clean gel.  Do I put it on my clean washed hair and then blow it out?
