Wella Shock Waves Shine Gel Wax

Excuse the terrible title, I know its got nothing to do with hair products, but my brain isnt at its best! Any better suggestions? Answers on a postcard please? Ahh, the second time of writing, lets hope it will be something like the original…. After suffering for many years from big hair (oh the sleepless nights and counselling sessions…thankfully they’re over now :) ) , I’d tried everything on my hair, usually mousses and gels and eventually my hair would return to its original state, styles galore have been practised on my hair, yet none of them actually worked. Loads of people suggested I ... more

I think this is a really good product but before you rush out and buy it there are a few things to consider, what look you want to achieve? what hair type you have? and also what hairstyle you have. I would recommend this product for anyone who wants to add texture and definition to the hair also if you have a hairstyle with layers in it and your trying to achieve a choppy look. But like i said before i think this is a good product not only do you get two products for the price of one, the gel holds the style while the wax gives it definition and texture you can also achieve a good look ... more

PRICE I got this as a free sample from Wella but I believe it is around 2.99 for a full size pot from shops such as Superdrug. PACKAGING It comes in a blue plastic pot that looks quite cool as blue plastic pots go. TEXTURE / APPEARANCE It has a texture pretty much like normal gel, if perhaps a bit thicker than the norm. However its appearance is quite odd in that it has a strange iridescent quality that is blue/ pinky. It looks shiny and is otherwise colourless. DOES IT WORK? Well, yes it makes your hair shiny and it helps to make it lie flat. But even the teeniest amount applied over a large ... more

I really really like this product from the packaging to its effect! The gel/wax comes in a sparkly-ish blue pot (a bit small) and can be found almost everywhere! From Costcutter (hmmm) to well everywhere! Hahaha! Its really well priced, I've found it for £1.98 before. The product itself is bluey purple and glittery, but dont fear this doesnt show on your hair! Unless thats what your after! Its more gel than wax as its quite soft to the touch and feels silky in texture! Its thicker than gel but not hard like wax can be! A little is better than alot, and I'd recommend it to people with shorter ... more

I purchased this wax today from ASDA for £2.48 which i found to be a very decent price, i got home, washed out my wet look gel and rubbed the wax into my hair, it smells like sweets with out the sugar and has a purple glitter look to it. The shine is like something from a wet-look gel and the hold is like a wax, i was expecting to be able to put a cap on then when i take it off restyle the hair to my original choice however that wasnt the case, it had became all greasy and flat making it unusable. I wouldnt pay more than £3.00 for this wax as there are many wax's out there that are just as ... more
