Which is better for fine hair?

Ultra 30 lists fine hair among its hair structures, but its ultra-firm hold can weigh fine hair down. Medium 13 is the safer pick for fine hair you want to keep moving.

Which holds longer in humidity?

Ultra 30. It lists humidity resistance up to 24 hours, while Medium 13 is only described as humidity-resistant.

Is Ultra 30 worth the extra money?

Only if you need ultra-firm hold. At $20.98 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it costs more than double Medium 13 at $9.99 at CVS Pharmacy, so buy it for hold, not value.

Can I brush through either one?

Medium 13 is made to be brushable and restyleable without flakes. Ultra 30 sets firm, so brushing through it is harder.

Which is better for heat styling?

Ultra 30 lists heat protection; Medium 13 does not. Use Ultra 30 before hot tools if protection matters to you.

Do both protect color-treated hair?

Yes. Both list color protection among their uses.
