It falls far short of Hardware 16
2 years ago
The product is different and not nearly as effective as Hardware 16. I will be using sometime else going forward. In addition, the container leaks now when you rest it on the closed lid. At almost twice the cost of 2 years ago, it is not worth it!
No, I do not recommend this product.

This "new packaging" is not the same formula as the hardwear 16. They say it is but it isn't. This new max sculpting gel is thinner and doesn't give the same amount of hold.

Really nice sculpting gel!
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so glad that I got Redken Max Sculpting Gel! It helps to provide all day control and shape memory for my naturally curly hair. Also, this gel has a nice, clean scent, and doesn't cause flaking, which is wonderful! It provides shine, and added thickness. I definitely recommend it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fine curly/wavy hair and I need some hold to keep my curls lasting all day. This product did the trick! It makes my hair shiny and defined. It did make my hair slightly crunchy, but that is easily solved with scrunching the crunch out once it's dry.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Redken Max Sculpting Gel
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Redken Max Sculpting Gel that I received to try out was just okay. It has a pleasant smell to it when you open up the cap. It did not flake as it advertised on the container. My feedback would be that it didn't really hold up as well as some other gels that I have tried. I'm not sure what the price point will be but I have tried cheaper gels that have worked better. It did last the whole day which was another plus. If it was just a little firmer of a hold I think it would be worth buying. My rating of a 3 out of 5 was simply because I would buy it if the price point was good. Hold and shaping was average.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Thick & Crunchy
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on my wavy hair and wasn't impressed. It has a very thick constancy so it's difficult to get even coverage on all of your hair. It just stays on a glob at the top regardless of how much scrunching you do. I ended up with some pieces of hair looking wet and hard and others looking dry and frizzy. My hair felt crunchy and flaky by the end of the day. It's a decent product but definitely not worth the price.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Very strong hold!
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sculpting gel from Redken is superb. A little goes a long way and it held my curls intact for days! It wasn't too thick at all and not overly sticky. Best of all, it didn't leave my hair looking hard and crunchy, but allowed my hair to retain a fresh clean look. I love it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great for fine hair!
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have super fine hair with fly-aways! I received this from BzzAgent and tried this for an event I was going to. I did a top knot bun and used a touch to slick back my front and neaten up my fly-aways. It worked great! It gave it some shine without looking greasy and did not get that straw-like look most gels give my hair. I love the smell too. The key is just using a touch with a spritz of water. Lasted all day.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Holds really well!
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like using Redken sculpting gel whenever I want to leave my hair curly, I start with damp hair and apply gel and scrunching my hair. I like that you can control your hair with this gel. Not like other products that I tried that leaves your hair stiff. I also use it to slick my hair back into a ponytail or bun.
Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel works better than most that I've tried. It doesn't leave your hair feeling hard and crunchy, like some do. It holds both a slicked back bun and curls well. I will definitely be using this gel in my regular hair routine!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Redken Max Sculpting Gel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent a bottle of Redken max Sculpting gel, and return for my honest feedback on the product. I hate in the winter time when I have lots of static in my find long hair. I decided to use this product to help with the static and help style my hair. I love how this product dried quickly and made my hair look wonderful, and ended up taking the static out of it at the same time. this product was also great to take my straight hair and make it curly for when I wanted to dress it up a little bit.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good for a wet look
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this gel on wet hair and then blow dried it to see how much hold it would provide. I have fine blonde hair, but using it before blow drying gave it hold, but I need to pull my round brush hard to get the product through the hair. I also tried it while my hair was wet for a slicked back use as suggested. I rubbed it in my hands and flipped my head over and scrunched my hair. It dried with a wet, wavy look that was not as crunchy as other gels I have used. Smelly was pleasant. If your sticking you hair back in a bun or sleek ponytail this works well at keeping fly aways at bay but it does dry shiny so your hair may look like it's dirty if it is a light color.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Too shiny
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Redken Max Sculpting gel for a few weeks now. I don't think it is the right product for my hair. I feel like it makes my hair look a bit too shiny (almost greasy looking). I tried using less product but that did not work well either. May be better with thick hair but I do not suggest for anyone with thin or medium hair.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Wanted to love it....
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this product as I use gel a lot with curly hair and at times straightening it. I usually air dry my hair or use a diffuser and have to lock in my curls with a gel or gel cream. This product smelled amazing but the gel iteself made my curls too crunchy and hard. I would have prefered a product similar to this but with a cream base or conditioner lotion in it so soften hair and keep it hydrated as I hate crunchy curls.
Yes, I recommend this product.
