My finishing touch. Shapes like a wax, holds like a gel. I don't really like to use too much product on my hair once I have straightened. BAck in the 80's I used a lot of hairspray to keep my hair in place, I never liked to have one strand out of place and would literally use about a bottle a week but now I am older and much more relaxed about my hair I don't really like it to look set, just nice and natural looking. Saying that though, "natural" takes a lot of work, it's that just stepped out of the salon look we are all trying to achieve and this takes time and effort. One of the products though that helps me to achieve the ...  Read the complete review

I go through a ton of hair wax. My hair is short but it is spikey so I need something that is going to be strong enough to hold my hair in its style for the whole day (and sometimes the night too) long. There are so many different brands of hair wax to choose from and sometimes it is hard to know which one to go for.

However having jaw-length hair can be a bit of a problem when it comes to going to the gym and jogging and stuff like that (which I do daily). It's a bit too long to allow it to flop all my sweaty face but hard work to put it in a band (as in a ponytail) due to my hair being so fine and not quite long enough so I end up looking a right old scruff bag! However I have found to get my hair to do anything (on gym days) that I do need to wash and straighten my hair the night before in ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who's ever had a slightly longer haircut with a bit of edge- whether it's spikey, choppy or layered, will know the utter frustration and futility with trying to find something to style it that won't make you all crunchy and oddly shiny, yet won't let your hair haphazardly blow around in a carefree fluffy kind of way, then settle into something distinctly upsettingly flat. This conundrum gets worse the longer your hair is- especially seeing as it's fashionable to have poker-straight hair- it's hard to find some sort of miracle product that will help you out if you want big, choppy, voluminous punky cuts without making you look like Johnny Ramone when you get out ...  Read the complete review
