Overview
Not the original Mode formula, King Mode is the same classic Johnny B. gel with a new scent and a non-staining purple tint. The thick, alcohol free gel sets with shine and does not flake.
High shine with medium hold suits combed and slicked styles that still move. Very fine hair can look weighed down under a gel this thick.
Who it's for
Side parts, combovers and slick backs suit a shiny gel with moderate hold. Those after a dry, textured look should use a clay or paste instead.
Pros and cons
- High shine finish
- Tint does not stain
- Full ingredient list given
- Listed volumes conflict
- Too heavy for fine hair
- Medium hold, not maximum
Performance notes
Carbomer thickens the water base into a gel that coats strands and dries to a firm, glossy film. Without alcohol, the film stays less brittle, which helps prevent flakes. Applying to damp hair spreads it evenly before it sets.
