Have to be real careful using this applicator. To achieve that even look, have to spend some time doing light coats over and over the same area like you're painting a car. The hard part about it is you're pumping the applicator and may squeeze little harder or faster then previously. It's not like an aerosol can spraying at the same speed. Sometimes it'll spray more than what you want leaving spots on the scalp making it look obviously freaky. Taking out the spot and trying to redo the application can be time consuming. Over priced pump applicator that doesn't guarantee an even spray each time. Hope you don't have a lead finger.
