Tresemme Ultra Firm Control Tres Gel Review

Hello friends!

Hope all of you are enjoying durga pooja and dandiya season. I am also loving the zeal and enthusiasm around; luckily my gal has grown up enough now to realise the significance of these festivals and events. Anyway, I am here to share one hair styling product with you all which was lying in my stash until I started exploring hairstyling. Well we all know Tresemme, for its budget friendly products that are really worth trying. Though the brand usually exaggerates its claims, I still find it satisfactory for my medium length hair. My hubby had been using this Ultra Firm Control Tres Gel for holding his spiky hair style for some time, and eventually I became interested in it as well.

Product Description:
This formula lets this hair style product spray on with ease. It’s also alcohol-free, brushable, won’t weigh hair down and offers 24-hour frizz resistance.

The Effect: This hair gel helps you achieve softness not stiffness and a light, natural hold. If your style’s not perfect, just brush it out and start all over.

My Experience with Tresemme Ultra Firm Control Tres Gel:

Well the transparent gel comes in a transparent see-through, plastic tube packaging; the tube is painted black half way through with flip top opening cap. It does have a pleasant fragrance which is pretty similar to the fragrance that lingers in salons. I have experienced that, luckily, it does not stay in hair for a long time. Overall I find it pretty user-friendly & travel-friendly.

As I told earlier, the gel seems almost clear transparent and thick in consistency which is easily workable on hair. I mean it might seem to be a thick gel, but in real it is bit runny gel and can easily slip on our hair. It never loses its firm control on our hair and keeps them manageable and soft. I was unaware of this gem in my stash until one day my parlor lady suggested to try these hair gels for holding my side swept bangs, and also to hold my brows in place. And since then, there is no looking back; I am absolutely in love with it.

Actually I was also a bit hesitant using it earlier because I have seen my brother using these hair gels (which caused premature greying). But thanks to my genes or may be the formula, I haven’t noticed any grey hair. Yes gals, this hair gel is totally safe to be used almost everyday or frequently as it does not cause any side effects like premature greying or thinning etc. I have noticed that my hubby’s scalp seems a bit flaky after using this hair gel though. Since I use it sparsely on my bangs/ hair strands or eyebrows, I have not experienced such issues myself.

I have noticed that it leaves a dry, white residue on hair as I had to initially brush off my hair to get rid of that white/grey residue. Talking about its performance, I won’t say that it holds my hair for as long as 24 hours, but yes it did give me 12 hours of wear time. I usually attempt parted hairstyles from front, hence I have to use this gel to hold my side swept bangs in place in order to hide my middle hairline. And man, this gel works perfectly for my bangs! I simply rub it between my hands and apply on my hair, thereby making the desired hairstyle. Voila! It holds my hair in place for several hours.

It also gives volume to my hair post blow drying (as it also works as a heat resistant product). In fact I have been using it as a brow gel for my eyebrows ever since my parlor lady told me about it. And man, no one can ever notice that I have been using it on my brows other than me; my brows feel slightly stiff though. Once it gets set, it becomes stiff but does not bother.

And even though I don’t like those spikes on my hubby’s head, I have seen those spikes lasting almost 12 hour unless he washes the gel off. It says all about its performance! Moreover, as I said, I use it on my front layers to attempt French twist and sometimes a French braid and it makes my frizzy hair manageable and soft to work with. I used it during my Vegas trip to hold my bangs as well as to hold those flyaways, and my hair style lasted all day long in place.

The only issue I have experienced so far is that I see flakes/dirt sticking to my hair, which is weird, but I can easily get over it. If you are also into hair styling, you might want to try this gel. It is the perfect solution for bangs, spikes and even for eyebrow fixing. I would definitely get it again for its budget friendly price and performance.

Let’s sum pros and cons:

Pros of Tresemme Ultra Firm Control Tres Gel:

• A lightweight hair gel formulated without parabens, phthalates and SLS
• It is easily spreadable on dry or damp hair without feeling sticky or tacky
• It does hold my side swept bangs as well as flyaways in place
• It can be used to set eyebrows too
• It can hold many hairstyles in place
• It gives 12+ hours of wear time on hair and eyebrows both
• It becomes a little stiff when it sets but still combining and running fingers through hair remain easy
• It has a pleasant aroma, which does not last long on hair
• Quite user friendly & travel friendly deal at super cheap price

Cons of Tresemme Ultra Firm Control Tres Gel:

• Its 24 hours claims might be a mere exaggeration
• Leaves white/flaky residue, but it can be removed with a hair brush
• When used generously, the flakes appear more prominent; using it sparsely is the key to perfection
• It has certain chemicals that might bother sensitive skin

Well I don’t have any major concerns with this hair gel, other than experiencing that flaky residue. Moreover I see that it hold my frizzy hair and flyaways so well for several hours.
