Pros: vegan, all natural, reshapes with water, no flakes, no alcohol, non-drying, great smell
Cons: High price, not available locally, had to order online

Price reflects cost and shipping and handling for the 8.2oz bottle ($12 + $5.95 s&h).

I LOVE this stuff. It is alcohol-free and non-drying, being totally plant-based. It reshapes with water, so to touch up a style you simply wet your hands a little and re-sculpt the hair. Clean earthy scent.

While it works great as a gel, my favorite use of it is to dilute it with distilled water (1 part gel to 4 parts water) and put it in a mister bottle to use as either a mister before braiding hair or putting it into an updo like a braided crown bun to keep it smooth, or it works well as hairspray for a finishing hold.

No shampoo needed to remove, rinses clean with just water.

The only reason this isn't a 10 is the high price and the fact that it often has to be ordered online, making the price higher.
