During my testing, the gel managed my straight hair well and into the night - even with an afternoon disco nap. The gel has a very pleasant scent, but don't worry: the smell won't stay on the hair. With other gels, I have this tendency to over-squeeze the bottle, but Harry's designed the cap in a way that this won't happen. There's enough time for me to work with it, yet sets in pretty soon after I leave it alone. I find that I only need a small dollop to style my hair, even less if I'm using a comb. After trying this for a week, I'm not kidding when I say I may have found my favorite hair gel. The downside to most gels I've used is that my straight hair requires more of it than I like, and I also hate the "crunchy" look and feel it leaves. I'm more of a gel-kinda-guy and I like the way the liquidy product works into my hair and the semi-permanent hold it gives. While I like the Texturizing Putty, I love the Sculpting Gel. Plus, the jar size meets TSA regulations, so it's the perfect hair product for travel. I love that it's easy to apply and maintain. The Texturizing Putty costs less, comes with a lot more in the jar, and works just as well, if not better. I used to use a pomade from Baxter of California and Sumotech from Bumble & Bumble, and the reason why I stopped is because of how expensive they are. Compared to L'Oréal's Studio Line Overworked Hair Putty, Harry's feels lighter. The scent isn't unpleasant, but it isn't my favorite of the new Harry's products still, it's subtle when it's on your hands and you won't smell it throughout the day. It leaves a matte finish, and your hair won't ever look like it's been gelled to death. Don't worry if it clumps up - just massage it into the hair and shape (no combing here). However, the putty works best on towel-dried hair. The pliable putty is very thick and you really need to dig into it, but a little is all you need.
For example, you may want a more professional look in the morning as you head into the office, but a more messy style for happy hour after work - this putty lets you do that. Once applied, it provides a good hold, but unlike a paste or pomade, you can reshape your hairstyle a bit later.
If you're looking for some flexibility, the Texturizing Putty from Harry's is a good choice. Shop Harry's new hair products here or keep reading to check out our reviews.
