This product works amazingly well at holding my coarse, curly hair in the twists/cornrows I use to keep it out of my face. However, its smell is overwhelmingly bad. I believe the problem is the aerosol conductant and not the characteristic scent of the Biolage line, which is on the whole fresh, pleasant, and subtle. (I use the Biolage shampoos and conditioners and other, not-aerosol sprays.) I have tried using less product to no good advantage -- the aerosol stench nestles in my hair like cropdusting pesticide. Please do something about the problem...I like the functionality of this product very much and would like to continue using it without gagging myself and my boyfriend. Thanks!
