Months back, I bought this on a whim and have used it consistently since! Garnier Fructis Style Shake Effect is a non-sticky gel that you "shake" and then spray--which instantly turns it into a liquid.This product provides long-lasting style, texture, definition and volume. You can use it on dry hair for the "messy look" or use it to define strands and curls.However, I apply it after I wash and towel dry my hair--spraying it on while still damp and letting my hair air-dry. (I've adopted a new style as of late--a wash and wear look with soft curls.) It doesn't leave my hair stiff like some gels, nor does it make the hair look dull, limp or greasy. It's a very light liqui-gel that doesn't weigh down hair--and is easy to comb through, too.Lastly, Garnier Fructis Shake Effect Liqui-Gel smells good--REAL good. It smells like apple, perhaps because of the fruit micro-waxes.
