Customer Reviews:
Great Hold and Shine
This wax provides excellent hold and shine for my hair. It keeps my hairstyle in place all day long and gives it a nice, polished look. I love how easy it is to apply and it doesn't make my hair feel sticky or heavy.
Difficult to Wash Out
While the hold and shine of this wax are impressive, it is incredibly difficult to wash out of my hair. Even after multiple shampooings, there is still residue left behind. It feels greasy and weighs my hair down, which is frustrating.
Natural and Long-Lasting
I appreciate that this wax is made with natural ingredients and doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. It has a pleasant scent and the hold lasts all day without needing to reapply. My hair looks styled and put together without feeling stiff or crunchy.
Decent Hold, Average Shine
This wax provides a decent hold for my hair, keeping it in place for a few hours. However, I was expecting more shine from the product. It gives a subtle sheen but not the glossy finish I was hoping for. It's a decent option, but not exceptional.
Strong Scent Overpowers
The scent of this wax is overpowering and not pleasant. It lingers in my hair all day and I find it quite unpleasant. Additionally, the hold of the wax is not as strong as advertised. My hairstyle tends to lose its shape after a couple of hours, which is disappointing.
Average Performance, Nothing Special
This wax performs adequately, but it doesn't stand out from other similar products on the market. It provides a moderate hold and a subtle shine, but there's nothing exceptional about it. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's also not particularly impressive.
Product Summary:
The Blind Barber 60 Proof Wax provides a great hold that lasts all day, making it particularly suitable for thick hair, holding it in place without feeling heavy or sticky. While the smell can be unpleasant to some, the wax offers a natural look without appearing like there is product in the hair, and just the right amount of shine for a textured and natural hairstyle without a greasy appearance.
Priced between $15 and $30, it falls within a moderate price range. The product has a thick cream texture that applies effortlessly, ensuring easy application and a sticky texture that holds hair in place without feeling greasy or heavy. It's suitable for short hair types with low natural oil production and those desiring a natural look, as well as for medium-fine, gray, wavy hair, or thick pompadour hairstyles.
Despite its all-day hold, hair may appear unwashed despite previous washing, necessitating another wash. Applying too much of the product can dry out hair and make it unbrushable once applied due to its stickiness, highlighting the importance of moderation in use to avoid any unwanted effects.
