This product is very runny and almost like a serum. The first time, I used about a half-dollar size through my ends to scrunch. Turns out that was WAY too much. This stuff FLAKES when dry! My wet curls were gorgeous, but in the end, I had to waste my wash day curls and put my hair up. The second time I used it, I used only a quarter-sized dollop. STILL had flakes. I was barely able to squeeze out only a dime-sized dollop. (This gel comes out of the bottle fast!) Wish I could say it didn't flake, but it did. Will not be repurchasing this item.
