Marco Pelusi Marco Color Control Gel

Designed to provide natural, flexible hold, this alcohol-free gel is not to be used in gobs. When applied with a light hand, the near-liquid formula dries to an almost undetectable finish -- great for defining waves and adding volume to roots of damp hair before blow-drying. (Gift alert: It's perfect for texturizing short men's styles!) Borage seed oil makes for a pleasant scent and conditions the hair and scalp while collagen plumps and protects hair color. Unfortunately, such expensive ingredients also contribute to a higher price tag and small bottle. (Good thing you don't need much!)
