I have short hair. I use three blasts of the gel on my just shampooed hair. Then I blow it dry. Gives great body and style. I like it better than the Root Pump Plus which dried out my hair. Hope this helps.

Does it make your hair stiff or dry feeling?

I’d say... never seems to make it dry and I’d say not really stiff either. Seem to give it a little more “body” so not TOO soft.. but not really stuff in my opinion.

Can you use this product with a curling iron after you dry your hair?

I put it in my hair after its towel dried and then blow dry my hair. I don't use curling irons but I see no reason why you couldn't after your hair is dried.
