Gatsby Moving Rubber - Grunge Mat, Strong Holding Power, Matte Finish, Non-Sticky, Non-Shine, Paraben Free, Anytime Re-Stylable Hair Wax, 80gm

Part 1: Review [Usage instructions for best hold & style in Part 2] > The Good — Quantity of wax required for achieving a strong hold is less. — Smells extremely good! — The matte texture that it gives to your hair is great and classy. It does not make it look oily or dirty. — The storage box is very stylish, and serves the purpose well, too. > The Bad — I would’ve preferred a smaller quantity container for a lesser price, as I use wax only on special occassions. This wax is going to last 2~3 years for me. — The wax is good for small to medium length hair only. It will NOT work well for long hair. — Though the wax provides a very good hold, it does so only for about 2 hours. After that, it loses the strength and you will have to restyle it. Part 2: How to use, to achieve best hold? >> Make sure you wash your hair neatly, preferably shampoo & condition, before using the wax (any wax/gel/etc.) >> Towel dry your hair until it’s damp. >> Apply heat resistant spray, or any other prestyler which has heat resistant in it. >> Blow dry thoroughly, in the desired style. This is the MOST important step, guys. This is KEY! If you skip this, or do it wrongly, your final result will suck. >> Now take a VERY SMALL amount in your palm, and rub the wax until your palm is hot and you can feel the wax being a little flexible. >> Apply EVENLY to ALL areas. Try to reach the roots well, too, as this will give you the best hold. Once you’re done, now take additional amount of wax wherever required. Also, you can use extra wax on fringes where you want it to be highlighted. >> Wait for 10~15 minutes and you should be done. >> If the strong hold is fading, consider using VERY little amount of wax for restyling. >> Avoid styling aggressively, as this would need a lot of strong hold and the product won’t be able to sustain for a long time. So, go easy on your style. >> You MUST wash it off by the end of the day. Do NOT go to sleep with it, it will cause hairfall and hair-frizz. --- Product recommended.

The Gatsby Moving Rubber Grunge Mat Hair Wax is a versatile styling product that offers a strong hold and a desirable matte finish. After thorough use, here are my observations: 1. Strong Hold (4/5): This wax lives up to its claim, providing a commendable hold for various hairstyles. It effectively keeps hair in place throughout the day without feeling overly stiff or sticky and gives good strength to your hair. 2. Matte Finish (5/5): The matte finish is one of the standout features of this product. It leaves your hair looking natural and adds a textured dimension, which I found particularly appealing. 3. Non-Sticky, Non-Shine (4/5): The wax lives up to its promise of being non-sticky and non-shiny. It gives a more natural look compared to glossier alternatives, which can be a preference for many and also it is very easy to apply. 4. Paraben-Free (5/5): It's reassuring to know that this wax is free from parabens, making it a healthier choice for daily styling. 5. Re-Stylability (4/5): One of the key advantages is its ability to be re-styled throughout the day. This feature allows for adaptability and keeps your hairstyle looking fresh. 6. Volume for Silky Hair (3/5): As you mentioned, it might not be the best option for giving volume to silky hair. It's more suited for holding styles in place rather than creating volume. 7. Scent (4.5/5): The scent is pleasant and not overpowering, which is a bonus for those sensitive to fragrances. In conclusion, the Gatsby Moving Rubber Grunge Mat Hair Wax is a reliable choice for achieving a strong hold with a matte finish. It excels in providing a natural look without the stickiness or shine associated with some other products. While it may not be the top choice for adding volume to silky hair, its versatility and overall performance earn it a solid 4-star rating.

Very good quality, No hair fall i am using from last 8 yrs,

This is a amazing product as it has a real matte finish. The other products by Gatsby do not have a matte finish. I have used all Gatsby products ranging from the hair spray to the hair wax. This product is really worth its price and gives a totally matte and High hold finish. Ingredients are safe for use thus i recommend this product to use guys. Its scent is not so good but finish and hold are !! The gripping power of the wax is pretty good as it keeps all of mine hair intact. My hair is thin and is present in large quantities so i need a product which has High holding power and this serves me well . The container is having a superior built thus the wax remains safe. All in all i will say that this is great product which you guys can buy !!

Ok

I ordered this for 1st time by thinking it may be very good because it was expensive and it is a flagship product of gatsby, guess what this was the WORST hair wax ever used, I have used lots of different types of hair wax from many years, let me tell you Pros and Cons Cons 1) Hold stays for 1-2 hours max 2) If you try to restyle your hair after 10-15 mins of application, the hair will lose hold and you will end up messing your style 2) Worst hair wax ever to wash it from hair, wax went after washing my hair 2-3 times shampooing for 4 days Pro 1) Nice smell SUGGESTION Go for gatsby spiky hair wax which comes in red color box, this one is best for spikes and holds compared to all other gatsby hair wax, also way cheaper

Good product bt not daily used

believe me guys this product promises for strong hold and provides matte hair ..the smell is also fine....just apply it on damp hair as a prestyler and by using hair dryer we can get ur desired style..if not we can use table fan for getting desired style...after take a cone sized amount of wax and apply it on ur hair by amulsifying on hands..we can a good hair style with this process if u have good hair either silk or rough...after completion of this process u can use boys hair band for making hair to stand up all day long..this step is not necessary if ur hair stand all day long without hair band..that depends upon individuals...this is a good product just buy it if u have no objection with the price..go for it..it is worth buying

Bought for my husband . He uses this all the time . Hair stays perfect the whole day.

My asian husband has stick straight hair and this works fantastic for giving some texture!!

Very sticky, but still doesn't hold the hair strongly. There are other better products which are less sticky and have much stronger hold.
