Ditto for application (use about a quarter size in total).

It is not stringy with or without a leave in which is highly unusual with a strong hold gel for me.

Are the people that are having good luck with the HESMU using anything under it. I know rudeechick said no leave in - any curl cream product or just this gel?

xcptnl - I've used it with or without leave in successfully. I don't have any luck with creams so I've never tried it with one. Also worked well with FSG and, of course, CK - but I promise I won't start extolling its virtues until at least June.

Whew! It makes me sad that CK stopped working for me last year - of course right after I bought a new bottle. I am going to try it again this year of course - just to make sure.

Thanks for the leave in answer.

Actually, HESMU gel is my HG in the summer time so it should be great for you!

It's funny. HESMU was one gel that I used over a year or so ago and actually finished the tube. You would think that would set off an alarm in my head that it worked well. But nope - I ventured off to other gel pastures. I actually have a full tube (the alarm obviously worked enough so that I knew to repurchase) in the product closet. Due to this thread (thanks whaterscurl and rudeechick) I pulled it out of retirement and used it today. So far so good.
