Eco Style Olive Oil Hair Gel, Maximum Hold, Alcohol-Free, Vegan, 57g | Green

Overview

This maximum-hold gel is infused with natural olive oil to add shine and moisture while it sculpts, and it works for curls, edges, slick updos and wash-and-go looks. The formula is vegan and alcohol-free, so it holds without the tight, crispy dryness some gels leave behind. At 57g this is the small travel size, worth noting if you use a lot. The 4.4 average from over 64,000 ratings is strong, and a little goes a long way, so even a small tub lasts. Check the current price on Amazon.

How it compares on the hair care shelf

We track 50 rated hair care products, and the middle of that pack scores 4.5 out of 5. This one is on 4.4. Mid-table, in other words. The stars aren't going to pick a winner here, so it comes down to pack size, cost per unit and the details further down.

That score rests on 64,487 ratings. The median for this shelf is 4,347. That's a deep enough base for the score to be stable, and it is the reason we rank on volume as well as stars.

Price-wise it falls in the bottom third of a shelf that stretches £1.98 to £56.00, with £7.13 in the middle. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
