I understand from other naturals that this experience is somewhat common. The product is doesn’t hold up for very long. Perhaps you would have different results if you pair it with a very hard hold gel….but I’m so disappointed in it, I don’t think I’ll give it a try. Holding a grudge? To an extent, yeah…I am. lol. But I also prefer to use maximum hold gel on days where the dews are high. Otherwise I prefer medium hold. 🙂
