Customer Reviews:
Great hold for short hair
I've been using this product for a few weeks now and it's been great for keeping my short hair in place all day. It doesn't leave any residue and has a nice scent.
Too sticky for my liking
I found the wax to be too sticky and it made my hair look greasy. It also took a lot of effort to wash out completely.
Easy to apply
The wax is easy to apply and doesn't clump up like some other products I've tried. It gives my hair a nice texture without feeling heavy.
Not suitable for long hair
I tried using this on my long hair but it didn't provide enough hold. It might work better for shorter hairstyles.
Unpleasant scent
I couldn't stand the smell of the wax, it was too strong and overpowering. It made me feel nauseous throughout the day.
Decent hold, but not long-lasting
The wax provided a decent hold for my hair, but it didn't last throughout the day. I had to reapply multiple times.
