    I have used this product for over three years and I recently bought my second can - yes, it does last for a very very long time. My semi-long blonde hair is fine and needs something to texturise,...

    I love this highlighting balm and use it almost every day. I learned about it when I went to a very ritzy NYC salon a few times and they used it there, believe it or not. It adds very subtle...

    I purchased this years ago and it lasts forever..It's more like a shimmery alberto VO5 than a wax and it doesn't have much of a smell.. it's fine....The can was cute but now it's all dinged...

    This is my HG of hair products. It doesn't give you blonde highlights like it claims, but it really makes my short-ish shag chunky and separated without looking dirty. I'm not crazy about the tin...

    Have been using this for over a year to smooth, texturise and style my short hair. I'm not blonde, but I like the natural-looking blonde sheen this gives my hair. A little goes a long way. I will...

    Love, love, love this! I have used this for 2 years now. I have very short, blond hair, and while this is very waxy, it works wonders on my hair. Just rub a bit between my hands to warm up and...

    I really like this stuff, not as a "highlighting balm", but as a shaping/styling balm. I have very fine blonde hair that is angled in the front, and this is the ONLY thing I've found so far that...

    I've been using this balm for almost 3 years. Sometimes my hair is blonde, sometimes it red, brown or black....I've used it through every color and hairstyle. You need to use a small amount, rub...

    another platinum-hair phase product. it was a better texturizer than the dream cream, but it was also a bit heavy and gold-sparkle-laden. but it does texturize, unlike the funky chunky.

    Just ask yourself. Does your hair need glimmer? No. I didn't think so. It looks dirty and nasty. Good idea in theory. Or something. In the not at all a good idea sense. Feh.

    It smelled absolutely wonderful, had compliments that my hair smelled great hours later, but the gold shimmers flaked off onto my clothes and looked like I had bad dandruff.

    I have long brown/blonde hair but I use this every so often as a touch up for areas on top of my head where "baby hairs" need to be weighed down. It is a heavy wax even when using a teensy bit. I...

    this stuff is okay..it really highlights my hair but i do hate the feeling! I guess that comes with a pomade..It smells clean and fresh but its like a magnet for dirt.

    I'm baffled by the negative reviews, as I've been using the Spun Gold balm for months now with great success! I use it /sparingly/ on my short blond hair at the end of the day, to give it back a...

    I wanted this product to give my hair some shimmer or sparkle, but I didn't notice anything. Failing that, it's not even a good wax. There are much better products on the market - splurge for...

    I usually like balms and waxes for hair, but this one did not really do anything but coat my hair in grease! It did not add noticeable sparkle, and weighed down my style rather than lifting it.
