Thanks JRob! I will definitely take you up on your offer about those samples!

I don't mind the wet look really.. it's just that even at 75% density, when the hair is wet, it looks incredibly thin. I don't have this issue when it's dry.. in fact, it's just the opposite - way too poofy. I am trying to find a product that would be the perfect blend. Something where I don't have to expose this much scalp like with the regular gels, but I'd like to have some product in there so the hair looks more natural.
