MEET MAX SCULPTING GEL: REDKEN'S ALL-DAY STRONG GEL FOR SHAPE MEMORY & SHINE


Max Sculpting Gel is a super strong hold hair gel to keep your style in place with shape memory. This vegan formula provides healthy shine without residue or flaking. Perfect to use for a slick back look. For a lacquered finish, apply to damp hair and airy dry or blow dry for controlled volume.

What is the difference between Max Sculpting Gel and Hardwear 16?

Max Sculpting Gel and Hardwear 16 both contain exactly the same formula. However, Hardwear 16 recently went through renovation, hence changed its pack look and name to Max Sculpting Gel.

What is the consistency of this product?

Max Sculpting Gel is a maximum control hair gel that provides firm, flake-free control all day long. This high-hold gel delivers a lacquered finish with long-lasting control and shine.

How should I use this styling product?

For a lacquered finish, apply to damp hair and air-dry. Blow-dry for controlled volume. Use to slick back longer hair—it dries to a long-lasting, wet-looking finish.

Will Max Sculpting Gel cause dandruff?

No, Max Sculpting Gel will not cause dandruff. It provides flake-free control all day long.

What are the key ingredients in this styling product?

Max Sculpting Gel is formulated with castor oil and orange zest oil; two polymer emollients for high control styles.

I used the previous formula for years and was very apprehensive when they reformulated/repackaged.I have thin, baby fine, curly hair and this is the BEST gel for my hair type out of the many I've tried.To reduce stickiness I mix it in damp hair with a leave in conditioner. I haven't noticed any changes in the excellent curl, volume and hold this product provides from the previous formula. My loyalty to this product remains the same. It is my go to for my hair type.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I hoped for!
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2022
I was using Redken Hardwear 16 for countless years and went nuts when it looked like they stopped making it. After some searching it seemed like this was the “replacement” with new packaging and updated graphic. In desperation, and with little hope, I bought it to try it. Hardwear was the absolute best product I had ever found for creating stiff hold when I needed it and giving shine that lasted. I didn’t think I’d ever find a replacement.
First use of this eased my mind. It seems to be exactly the same as they “old” product. I had some of the original version left and compared the two - looked and felt exactly the same. Used it and was thrilled. I had no reason to think there was anything different except for the packaging.
For a first time user I can offer that this is probably not for anything except a firm hold. It worked exceptionally well if you dampen your hands a bit, either work it in or smooth it on a particular area and then blow dry that area for a short time to get incredible shape that doesn’t look like it’s concrete. I haven’t experienced any residue when I shampoo my hair (and I use it frequently)…one shampoo and it’s gone.
The second pic is to show how it thick it is. I’ve had far too many that say “super strong” and when I squirt them out of the bottle they just spread all over the place. This stuff is nice and thick. I love that about it - and to make it go further I started dampening my fingers or hands before working it in because the thickness can make it a little difficult to get the even coverage I want.
Any one looking for the fabulous Redken Hardwear 16…. You’ve found the new one here. Any one looking for a new product that blows away any others I’ve ever tried (and that’s a LOT) you won’t be disappointed!
