Styling Gel & Wax > less than 5 GBP Styling Gel & Wax

Advantages: Only a small amount needed each time... doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy!
Disadvantages: Cost, Can sometimes be difficult to apply

Firstly, this product may seem quite expensive for a hair product to some people. I can totally understand that, and to be honest that was my opinion when i first heard about Urban Elements. I now feel, after using it for a couple of months that this price is easily justified. 200ml lasts me approximately 8 weeks and i certainly use it at least once a day. It is different from a lot of other pastes in that it doesn't make your hair feel greasy or ...
...volume & definition', i find that this is a really accurate description. It allows me to style my hair in a number of different ways depending on whether i am just going into uni or whether i am going on a night out. It has a really nice smell, of which i would describe as an apple sort of smell... v.nice!! :D The only criticism i have about this product other than the price is that it can sometimes be quite difficult to apply depending on the length ...

Advantages: Smells lovely
Disadvantages: Leaves hair in clumps

As a person with naturally curly hair I chose this product with the hope of using it to prevent dreaded frizzy hair. I was disappointed once I had used this product with the fact that my desires were not fulfilled. The product did reduce frizz how ever it also left my hair in large clumpy curls rather than the usual delicate ringlets I am used to. Also it was very sticky and stayed on my hands and shoulders for sometime after. With all this negativity ... Read review

Advantages: great hold, ability to re-style
Disadvantages: quite expensive, doesn't wash out easily

Introduction: Black and white wax was originally a Caribbean product, but was re-launched to the mass Markey for both Afro and European hair. As a consequence of this the wax was bought over to the UK in the late 1950's and has grown and grown as a brand ever since. Today, black and white has a large range of different products on offer, but the original 'WAX' still proves very popular; so popular that it is the number one best selling hair wax ...
...as well. Application: Black and white wax can be used for all lengths of hair. Just a small amount is required to leave your hair with a natural look that will last all-day. It can be used to mould, sculpt and even create texture when worked in from the roots to the middle and then to the tip of the hair. **** Smell: The wax is lightly fragranced with natural coconut oils, which is lovely if you like the smell of coconut. I find that it reminds ... Read review

Advantages: Price, hold, manipuability
Disadvantages: Hard to wash out

A frequent user of DAX myself I find it to provide outstanding performance, If your hair gets flattened by someone pressing down on it or by wearing a helmet, no problem, just using you hands you can easily style your hair back to the way you want all day any time. Dax is fairly sticky and some people may find it difficult to apply at first, however it does get easier with practice. It says on the tin 'made especially for short hair' and this is ...
...thing about DAX , is it's very nice smell which is kinda like chocolate (but in a very good way!). Only problem is washing is out which I have a hard time doing with my shampoo. On the whole though, it is an excellent styling product at a fair price. ... Read review

Advantages: firm but flexible, long-lasting hold; easy to wash out; outstanding value for money
Disadvantages: none!

Firstly, I can't believe how this product remains quite obscure and was amazed to find somebody else had written a review. I stumbled across this in one of my local Boots on the bottom shelf after knocking it off by mistake. In reality this should be on one of the top shelves because unlike a lot of those 'top-shelf' well marketed products by known brands, it will deliver what it says on the package. In short, this is one of a kind and my favourite ...
...Toni & Guy clay but then came pluko! THE PRODUCT ITSELF: PACKAGING - The best hair products actually don't have the flashy packaging. Simple, black and white (naturally for it's namesake) but visually makes an impact. I think it's unique and classy. It's a nice small tub that doesn't take up too much space. SMELL : Wonderful. Unique again - it could be a fruit flavoured sweet of some kind. TEXTURE : A wax. Not too sticky on hands but once in ... Read review
