Styling Gel & Wax > Redken Styling Gel & Wax

Style me pretty.....for an hour or 2!

Advantages: Smells nice, does its job to a certain extent
Disadvantages: Not for all day styling, and a bit pricey

...that lasts all day. Redken are famed for their excellence in hair products, however with the Rough Paste 12 there has to be a technique to how much you use, and how to apply it. The tube is simple enough, and as far as your usual sticky goopy gels and pastes go, this one does do it with a bit of style. It is sticky, however when applied to the hair does not create a hard, greasy looking cover like most gels do. This one is easy to apply and creates ...
...I have been unable to create a style which withstands any weather condition or a long period of time. Aside from it not lasting throughout the day, your hair still feels soft and not your typical hard and crispy 'hard to brush out' hair that other brands give. The paste smells nice and is not too overpowering. My conclusion? This is a good product if you only want your hair in place for a few hours if that, but use it with a good hairspray and ...

Review of Redken Rough Paste 12

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 ...

Review of Alberto Vo5 Rework Fibre Putty

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! ...

Review of TIGI Bed Head Cocky Thickening Paste

Fight the frizz with Tigi Bed Head Serum!

Advantages: Really does work, good for all types of hair, wavy, curly, frizzy. Attractive packaging
Disadvantages: None at all!

...other of my friends! The Tigi Bed Head not only helps straigten but if wearing my hair curly it takes the frizz out... heres how! The product comes in a 250ml bottle which is clear and shows the light green serum through it, which is great as you can see how much you have left. The product comes with black writting on the front with the 'Tigi' style writting and logo. To open the product there is a silver top which you simply twist to dispense the ...
...is Step 3 of the Tigi process, meaning that you should use the Tigi Shampoo and Conditioner before using this product. I have to be honest and say that I have never used the Shampoo and Conditioner with the serum but I have to say that the results are fantastic. Therefore, do not be put off by this as I am more than happy with the product. To use the product you need to apply it to damp hair, I tend to let y hair dry naturaly for 20 minutes and ...
