Styling Gel & Wax

Great for hold and creating a matte messed up look

Advantages: Great Value for Money
Disadvantages: none

I have been using this for 5 years now and won't use anything else. I have medium length, coarse hair and have tried countless different products before finding this one. All of the hair products I tried were either two greasy and soaked straight into my hair giving no hold or too sticky creating an unnatural look. Fibre is a great product it is thick so you only need a tiny amount and when you rub it into your hair it gives it a matte texture with ...
...the surfer look then this is for you. In fact it is quite versatile I style my hair in a smarter style for my job and it works just as well. It doesn't create any flakes or white residue and your hair will still feel natural. Its smell is inoffensive and not overpowering unlike some that smell heavily perfumed. Although it’s slightly more expensive than other brands it will take you months to use it all so it’s definitely value for money. My advice ...

Dax Wax Red

Advantages: Great hold - can last for ages, tub lasts for ages, cheap
Disadvantages: Can leave hair looking a little greasy if too much is used or if build up has occured

...I have tried the other Dax products, and the red variety is definitely the best for my hair. I use it after I have towel dried my hair thoroughly, rub a small amount onto my fingers and then work it through. It's quite solid wax, but it still allows you to shape it once it's in your hair. Rubbing it through your fingers first softens it up a little and means its easier to work with. As others have mentioned, the hold is tremendous, especially if ...
...hands - it takes the Dax right out. Then I just wash my hand with soap and water as normal. Same thing with hair - I just put a small amount of baby oil over my hands, then just work my hands through my hair, before shampooing as normal. Hair is left feeling like there is nothing in it again. The only times I bother to do this is if I'm going to the hairdressers and they need my hair to be thoroughly clean, or occasionally the build-up of Dax can ...

Review of Dax Wax

A magic for me!

Advantages: smell nice, easy to apply
Disadvantages: slightly expensive

...condition of the hair, why not? Further, it does not finish off fast. You do not need large amount of application on the hair. At least mine last longer than I expected. About 5 months. note: It works even better with the Sebastian Laminates Reconstructive Shine hair Masque. ...

...This is the main drawback of KMS Hairplay, a 100ml tube costs around £11 depending upon where you buy it from. However, like I said, it's a very economical product and lasts yaaages! If you shop around you could probably find it for a bit cheaper on ebay. ...

Fudge Skrewd Gel for Taming Curly Hair

Advantages: Great product, a little goes a long way, it really works!
Disadvantages: Not a widespread availability

I have naturally spirally curly hair that reaches about 3 inches past my shoulders. Some people might think I'd be happy about that...but until I found this product, it was a curse! This product helps eliminate that awful frizz that natural curly haired people detest. It helps define your curls and give them good shine. My hair feels and looks so much healthier when I use this product and a little really does go a long way. Considering the length ...
...blob between my two palms and distribute it through my towel dried hair with ease (with the help of a wide tooth comb). I certainly don't need any more than that so if you have shorter curly hair, a tube of this stuff should last you quite some time. Once distributed through my hair, I twist my hair in sections then I allow to dry naturally to give my spiralled look. But you can also scrunch your hair with the aid of a diffuser to create lovely ...
