FIRST EVER
THE “ORIGINAL GEL”
Control’s long standing reputation never ceases to impress. Created in the 90s as the first gel in our line, it was formerly called the “Original Gel.” Its alcohol-free formula allows for flexible styling without the flaking.
PRO-TIP
MADE FOR ALL
A common styling mistake is using a gel that is thicker than the hair because it causes separation and product buildup. However, this versatile and lightweight gel is made for ALL hair types—fine, medium, and thick. Formulated with Lanolin for extra hydration.
DID YOU KNOW?
A BARBERSHOP STAPLE
Taught in every Johnny B. class as a barbershop must-have, Control can be used as a super hold styling gel AND a cutting lotion to give hair better slick and control while cutting with shears or clippers.

Control Styling Gel
It works great! I’ve been using hair products to style my hair ever since I was in high school. This gel has a pretty nice scent and holds very well even if you use a little. It’s not overly sticky like some hair products and washes out very easily with shampoo. You can still take a lot out with just water. Also, it still holds pretty well if you happen to get rained on. I like that it’s in a container like this so you can just take a bit out with your fingers and go straight to styling. It beats having to squeeze it out of a tube and try not to get it everywhere.
Nice gel but the scent smells like “Fabuloso” cheap all purpose cleaner lavender scent. Johnny B needs to work on improving it’s product line ( shampoo and conditioner) scents.
The Johnny B Control is supposed to be the original gel, but the scent has changed, and the new scent is overpowering and gives me a headache. The original gel also had a scent, but it was very subtle. I would rather have a product that had no scent at all. It’s a shame because I really liked this product.
Ligero y aroma rico. Me gusta xq no te entieza el pelo solo controla el frizz
Great product! I like the smell,the hold,the quality,the hold it puts in your hair is just tremendous,just adjust to your liking,and it holds all day,highly recommend!
