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

Does what it says on the tin

Advantages: Strong hold
Disadvantages: Hard to wash out

...money as a tin of dax has lasted me a good couple of months with practically daily use. It's relatively cheap so I suggest you go check it out. There have been suggestions that dax Wave and Groom can result in hair loss if used too much and I can assure from personal use this is not the case. I still have a perfectly full head of hair. ...

Review of Dax Wave and Groom

Alberto Vo5 Rework Fibre Putty

Advantages: Smells nice, can style your hair anyway you want
Disadvantages: Doesnt wash of the hands easily

How many times have i woken up in the morning, or before a night out, and never been able to get my hair right. Many times is the answer. I have tried practically every single product that is available and my hair has still been all over the place. Other products either leave your hair looking greasy, arent strong enough or are just generally cheap and tacky. Then i discovered VO5 Extreme Style Rework Fibre Putty. I bought this one day whilst at ...
...after my last brand hadn't lived upto standards. I decided to buy this one and was very pleasantly surprised by the results. First off, this is a very value for money product with the tub being fairly wide and large and containing a lot of putty. Lets put it this way, i use this every morning and have still got a tub that i bought many months ago. The putty smells very nice and is white in colour so you can see where you are putting it. I used to ...

The perfect hold for stubborn hair! Garnier Fructis Extreme Hold

Advantages: Long lasting, Hard hold, Nice smell , Cheap
Disadvantages: Could contain more gel

After trying out many gels from cheap ones to your top brands such as Shockwaves, VO5 and L'Oreal I found this to be my favourite. I purchased this gel for a very reasonable 2 for 1 deal at the price of £4 from Boots in which I have never felt the need to try any other. You can buy this gel from many supermarkets, chemists and smaller shops in most places. As my hair is very stubborn in trying to shape or spike it, this does the perfect job and ...
...always a good thing. From gelling your hair in the mornings to going to bed at night it will keep it's hold in most cases. It looks very nice and gives a wet look to your hair but also keeps it feeling rock solid so there is no need to fear that your hair has gone flat half way through the day. It is very easy to apply and in my experience found that using this has halved my hair gelling time. In conclusion I highly recommend buying this gel and ...

Review of Garnier Fructis Extreme Hold Hair Glue

Awful!

Advantages: Nothing
Disadvantages: Everything

DO NOT BUY THIS! It is terrible! Seriously. I am a big fan of bedhead, I own many of their hairsprays and haircare products. But seriously, what is this??? Its horrifying! It has a horrible smell and has a horrible feel to it. I put it in my hair and it just makes my hair look like a sticky, stiff mess. There is seriously no use to this. I recommend it for halloween or something. Its purely awful. The bottle its in is very weird as well ;S Im guessing ...
...is by the way, very good, I have nothing against bedhead just this particular product) I bought this for a particular hairstyle I was very fond of which involved my hair layers flicking outwards and I wanted the wet effect. It just made my hair look like something off of a horror movie.. Perhaps this product would be best for a guys hairstyle. But it was horrible for me! Waste of money! ...
