Advantages: cheap,lasts, smells nice and washes/brushes out easily
Disadvantages: can get a little bit sticky if you put too much on

...From my days of hairdressing, I always used a gel spray instead of hair spray as it is so versatile to use and you can still fiddle with the hair once it's been sprayed. When I left the world of hairdressing, I still wanted to continue using a gel spray on my own hair to achieve the looks I always had. I tried various brands and was disappointed with the hold and how sticky it made my hair feel,'easy to brush out' they said, yeh right, with a rake! I started using the VO5 Gel Spray and was very impressed, it was just like the gel spray we used in the salon which was bought from a warehouse, only open to businesses, shame. I wanted lift and hold without the stickiness and this gave everything. I now have the messed up look, and it works wonders for it, I use the gel spray to lift the mess and then tousle it with the help of the spray... Read review

Advantages: holds!!
Disadvantages: stiff sticky hair

...Shock waves ultra strong volumising gel spray really does live up to its name It is ultra strong!! Its best on short hair do's where a spiky or messy look is called for. You spray it and your hair will stay in that style basically. It's not too good on long hair as it just seems to clomp into place. IF you need to brush or comb your hair after using this gel spray - just forget it your hair will be as stiff as a board! It will leave your hair and hands feeling very sticky. Best used with caution!... Read review

Advantages: Long lasting, good aroma, easy and not messy use.
Disadvantages: Smells a little alcoholic if used too much.

...I'm person who makes new hairstyles very often. One day I have brown hair, other - blonde. But for me with new haircut isn't enough! I need some styling products too and there is the biggest problem to choose which is better, because there's a lot of brands and products we can choose. One day I went shopping and I needed some hair gel. I allways see Fructis first because of they colour. There were some new products in the store and one of them was Fructis Style Gel Spray Hard Extreme. I had never tried before any spray gels so I took one of this. I had short hair and had no problems with using this product. Using this gel is very easy and it's not messy. For me it is. If you use standart hair gel in tube, you need put some gel on your hands before you put it in your hair. By doing this a lot of hairs gel goes away without use when... Read review

Advantages: SMELLS NICE, CHEAP
Disadvantages: GEL FRAGRANCE ONLY LASTS A FEW WEEKS

...I recently wrote an opinion on Airwick crystal air, air fresheners which I have to say I think are very good. However, I have now discovered another air freshener, which is also quite good, and I thought I’d tell you all about it. I was in ‘home bargains’, when I spotted a Glade Duet air freshener with a free full sized bottle of pledge orange polish for only £1.35 - for that price I just couldn’t resist! The appearance of the product isn’t as nice as the Airwick Crystal (which is a glass shape filled with coloured gel) this one is made of plastic and has wavy lines cut out of the side for the gel fragrance to escape and a little button on the top to spray with. The plastic is refillable, however which makes it a little kinder on the environment, and cheaper to use. You are supplied with a small canister of spray, which has the gel... Read review

Advantages: lovely smell, other products available for layering
Disadvantages: not a rich enough lather

...The shower gel is part of a wider range, including deodorant, body spray, body lotion & fragrance spray (all of which incidently, I love). The best way to use the gel is by layering with the other white musk products - this helps the perfume last. The smell of white musk is like none of the other musky perfumes (these usually smell of, or exagerate b.o!). It is a crisp, clean smell, whilst giving a comforting, intimate, sensual undertone. The gel foams well, although I would prefer more of a lather. I havent tried it as a bath preparation, although it states on the bottle it can be used this way too. All in all, a good value for money product, that seems quite luxourious. It cleans well, with a good smell. My only criticism is that quite a lot has to be used to ensure a good lather....

Advantages: Easy to use on Low maintenance hair
Disadvantages: Can create a sticky feeling on the face and neck

...Fructis Style Gel Spray Hard Extreme 150ml This product has been designed to create vibrant hair styles in a quick and easy manner, with low maintenance on the hair as possible. It portrays that you will be in control and can create any hairstyle that you want. The product comes as a spray, compared to the ordinary gels or mousses that people can use and comes about as being the new revolutionary product About me I'm a very sociable person and the weekend is a key thing I look forward to, and when going out, hair is one of my main important things to get sorted before a night out. Because I don't pamper myself I need a product which is fast and does the job without any mess. And from the look of this product it would do well. At the time I tried the product with long hair and the outcome was awfully poor with how my hair stood up... Read review

Advantages: strong scent that lasts
Disadvantages: nothing special

...Ananya is one of the Body Shops main ranges of fragranced products. You can purchase soaps, gels, talcs etc. and the scent of it is not unpleasant. I just think that it's not their best. I tried the shower gel for a little while, but found it a bit dull. The perfume of it does linger around for most of the day, and is helped if you use the eau de toilette after your shower. The gel itself is nothing special. It did not moisturise or tone or scrub, just a basic perfumed shower gel. It is not like a lot of the other body shop products in that it doesn't seem very "natural". It is a heavy, sweet and strong smell. I think it is best to purchase the body spray and use the scent for going out, or at night. Just my personal preference. A bit too artificial smelling for me.... Read review

Advantages: See Opinion
Disadvantages: See Opinion

...Hundreds of thousands of us suffer from sleep deprivation all the time whether it be due to insomnia or something else, for example, late night partying. To combat problems with getting to sleep, most of us try counting sheep, warm milk or a hot toddy (whisky, sugar and hot water) but recently, Avon launched a new product range called Sleeptherapy. Sleeptherapy is really a fragrance because it is already part of a range called Aromatherapy but whats the difference. Anyway, there are three different items to the sleeptherapy range and they are the bath and shower gel, the room and linen spray and the body cream, all priced at about three pounds each. The Shower Gel, which is the focus of this opinion comes in a 200ml, clear, plastic bottle with a silver, plastic lid. It is about 12 cm tall and is simple in information layout... Read review

Advantages: The skin stays on
Disadvantages:

...This spray is definitely the best out there. Not only does it smell gorgeous and make you feel silky but it also actually cleans which is where a lot of sprays slip up. The main reason i bought this spray is because I smell tough to say the least and have had problems with my sexual health in recent days. After using it for a few days I realised I have never smelt as good as this before. Its like now you almost want to eat me. The result from the spray is also the best i have ever seen on my pubic hair as it makes it feel really soft. I would definitely recommend it to people with almost any form of venerial desiese, though anyone can use it really.... Read review
