Review (2/5): A Little TOO Old School for Me
The PROS: This product does exactly what it says it will: it stiffens the hair so that it will stand up straight, which is why it is ideal for Flat Tops. It is not heavily perfumed, like a lot of hair products on the market these days. It has a very slight fragrance in the jar, but once you put it in your hair it is practically undetectable. Even though the jar is small, it will last a long time because you only need to use a little bit at a time.
The CONS: Because this product is petroleum-based, it is very heavy and sticky. In fact, it has almost the same consistency as Vasaline..perhaps a little bit thicker. Shampooing it out of your hair is like trying to clean up an oil spill. It will stay in your hair for a few days unless you use dish detergent (DAWN) to wash it out with.
Also, if your hair is more than about 1 1/2 inches in length, it will make your hair look greasy and stringy. As the label states, it is best suited for very short hair.
