Milbon Wet Shine Gel Cream 5 5.3oz

The control of a gel with the spreadability of a cream. Milbon's Wet Shine Gel Cream is a hybrid built for polished and deliberately wet-look styles: it tames frizz and flyaways while adding buildable hold, and its slow-dry technology gives you time to get the shape exactly right before it sets.

This is the 5, the high-gloss version. Milbon makes two — Wet Shine Gel Cream 5 is high gloss, while Wet Shine Gel Cream 8 adds a satin finish and more powerful hold. For a glossy, lived-in wet look with a bit of movement, 5 is the right call; for a locked-down slick-back, step up to 8.

How to use: Spread a pea-sized amount between your palms, then apply to dry hair. Add more as needed to build control. It also works well raked through damp hair on short cuts for a defined, glassy finish.

It rinses clean the next morning. Ask your stylist at Reverie Salon in River North which of the two suits your cut. This is the 5.3 oz size (level 5 hold). See our Milbon collection.
