First off I want to say that I bought this product off of Amazon so the delivery and shipping obviously was amazing so convenient. My first reaction to this is a scent is so good. It says it’s an aspen bark extract with sandalwood. It has been a very pleasant smell, you have to be aware that this is a flexible hold so it’s not gonna give you that tight. Look that you might be into I think that it gives me and texture which is what I’m looking for when I do my curls anyway I look more for a wavy look so I think it really is ideal for what I’m looking
