Review (4/5): So far I’m impressed how well this holds without being sticky or tacky once dried!
I just received this Hair Finishing Stick for fly-away strands of hair. So far I really like it. Surprisingly, it’s not sticky or tacky, even once it dried. It almost reminds me of the texture and consistency of a no water hand sanitizer. It basically has no scent, which I also really like. I have short hair but can push it behind my ears if I want. However, I have the little tiny hairs that are just too short to be held back by my ear and this is the main reason I wanted to try this. I normally would have to use so much gel or strong hairspray but then it looks wet and like I have too much product in my hair. When this dries, it really just looked somewhat shiny. I will still likely use some hairspray just to finish the overall hold and style.
Now for a few of the reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars but only 4. Although I absolutely love the ombré of pink into purple tub coloring, I would like something written on it anywhere to tell me exactly what the product is or instructions on the best way to use it (even if it was a sticker). Even on the box it came in, there isn’t enough information for me. I like to see the list of ingredients I’m using and if there is any caution on using it, say, near my eyes on my eyebrows (which I did try and it worked just like a decent eyebrow gel. It was able to kept my few unruly eyebrow hairs that always seems to grow the wrong way, in place). Perhaps because it’s made in China it doesn’t require that type of information as a product made in the US would require. Of course, that’s also why it’s very reasonable priced too.
All and all I will definitely continue to use this unless I see any adverse reaction or irritation on my skin or scalp. If that happens I will definitely update my review. If that doesn’t happen then I may have just found a new staple in my daily beauty routine!
