Enliven De Cheveux Ultimate Hair Gel, 250ml

This is my first ever Enliven hair gel. I usually do not stick with any particular brand (never with a brand that procures sticky gel); I like to experience diverse brands available in market. If I find any hair gel likeable, I use two or three files/tubs of that gel and then try another. And I decided to use Enliven firm hold (hold 3) red hair gel three or more tubs continually.In regular term, this gel can be described as casual hold gel, although they defined it as ‘firm hold’ and graded it ‘3 times hold’ in their scale of 5. So, it would not be much useful to the persons prefer spike and other maverick kind of hair styles. This gel serves official look and also suitable for casual hair style of evening parties. In a single word, it can be categorized as ‘gentlemen’s hair gel’. Although, one can readily achieve a shaggy hair style using this gel.Neither is this gel sticky nor oily; and there is no possibility of being astonished by finding a bunch of thin wire covering the head after applying this. It has a beautiful mild scent that does not last for long, but the hold really lasts long. You may comb your hair several times a day after applying it; doing this will not disrupt the settings you had done while applying the gel. Finally, it costs less than many of its competitors who provide poor results actually.

I use this for my wavy hair. It does contain alcohol so it is not CGM friendly. I don't follow CGM strictly but the alcohol does make the hair slightly dry so I use a serum to dry refresh and keep my length hydrated. It gives me great hold but yes I go back and forth experimenting with different gels to see what gives me hold without drying my hair.

The gel itself is quite 'watery,' so it is consumed more than it should be. The perfume (if it was added) creates a horrible smell trying to mask the smell of chemicals.Once dry, the hold is quite satisfactory, so full marks there.I bought SetWet Ultimate hold for comparison (as it has been 6-7 years since I used hair gel) and it was thicker hence consumed less and has much nicer fragrance. Hold was exactly the same on around 20+ alternate uses on different days.SetWet Ultimate Hold cost me 130 bucks compared to 109 I paid for Enliven... so I guess this will be my last purchase for Enliven hair gel, also not to ignore the fact that this was the lowest price for Enliven when I searched, so it might cost more next time... another reason for me to stay put with SetWet.Please note that this is a very raw comparison based on density of content (hence amount required per each use), smell and strength of hold only.

Don't buy this and waste your money

I am using hair gel every day since many years. Previously I bought the Set Wet Gel regularly. Once I found the Enliven hair gel and tried it, and bought it again. Here the reasons why:a) The same quantity (250ml) from Set Wet Gel costs me almost double the money (you can compare it here on Amazon itself).The Enliven, even as its an imported and branded product, is way cheaper. Saving money is the first reason to buy this gel.b) The quality of this gel is very good. It comes in a plastic jar which I can properly close after using it and the gel does not dry out. The gel itself provides full day strong hold to my hair style. It beats many other brands. Having high quality standard is the second reason to buy this gel.c) The seller has packed the item so need, that it was absolutely well protected during shipping. They packed it in a robust paper box and taped it fully. The packing done by the seller goes inline with the high Amazon standards which is the third reason why to buy this product.I bought the Enliven Active Care Hair Gel already for the second time and I will continue doing so!

The product don't have any bad smell it's smells like men's perfume nd .. you have to use more as compare to your hair if you want long holds overall love the product...it good for the people who have oily scalp becoz it's a bit make your hair dry ( I said a bit only) but if you have dry scalpo or hair so condition your hair properly nd use hair cream if you have then apply this don't worry this product don't damage your hair.

it gives good results ....the hold depends on the amount you apply but all in all was a money worth product

Quantity is really good for this price but it has a weird scent and the hold ? Not so great set wet is better
