Instant volume, zero shine. A fine powder that lifts hair at the root and leaves a dry, matte finish — no oil, no wax, nothing weighing it down. Medium to strong hold, and you can rework it through the day.

Use it on dry hair

This is the part that decides whether you like it. Slick Gorilla's own directions say dry hair — tip a small amount straight on, or into your palms first. On damp hair the powder clumps together instead of spreading through, and that's what causes the gritty feel and the white specks people complain about.

Work it through evenly, then shape with your hands or a texture comb. Start with less than you think — a little does more than you expect.

Washing it out

It needs shampoo, not just water. Rinsing alone leaves residue that builds up over a few days, so give it a proper wash — and a clarifying shampoo about once a week if you use it daily.
