    I cannot believe I never reviewed this product. I used this gold colored waxy gel in highschool and the tube lasted me forever. I had highlighted curly hair and used this in the mornings after...

    Like many of the reviewers, I used far too much the first time. You only need a T-I-N-Y amount. (Think Meryl Streeps cake portion scene in Devil Wears Prada). The second mistake I made was to think...

    I wish I had bought a 'back-up' tin at Shoppers Drug Mart in Sidney BC when I saw it a couple of years ago because I can't find it anywhere in my town. When I first tried this shaping balm, I used...

    This stuff is great. It's not a miracle, peopple, it's a hair balm. My hair texture is corkscrew waves with a lot of frizz. It is also VERY fine, so I have trouble with blams which can make my...

    I seem to be one of the few MUAers who really loves (let alone likes) this product. I've been using it for a little over a year now and I love the piecey texture it provides to my short layered...

    When my hair was blonde I used this. But I really saw no difference whatsoever. It was pretty sticky. I like the nice compact container, but that was all. If you use just a tiny bit I guess it is...

    Too sticky to work with. Use sparingly is right. Did nothing as far as "highlighting". Felt as if my hair was dirty. Would not purchase this product again.

    This is the only hair product I have used and enjoyed for three years. In my thick blonde hair it gets rid of flyaways and cowlicks -- but you need a tiny amount. Start with a light swipe and...

    disgusting!! I think I used a bit too much of this crap, because it would NOT wash out of my hair!! Everytime I dried it, it still felt sticky and waxy. I had to wash my hair 4 times to get the...

    I'm SO mad that this has been discontinued!! This was the HG of drugstore pomades for me. Not too dry, not too creamy, not too waxy. When used sparingly, this gave awesome definition and hold. I...

    This is nothing but a over hyped hair pomade. You can find several others just like it in the african american hair care section of your favorite store. That being said, it was greasy and sticky...

    I followed the directions and my hair turned into a huge pile of sticky thick mess! I'd expected something that would add some highlighting effect and smoothing effect, I might as well have melted...

    This product was quite expensive, and did absolutley nothing for my hair. No styling benefits, no shimmer benefits. Rubbish.

    I like the smell, and the packaging is cute..it also looks great in the tin. However, it doesn't make my hair look like spun gold...or anything good, for that matter.

    Yuck! I knew better than to buy this stuff. My hair isn't blonde, but light brown with natural gold-toned highlights. My hair is fine with flyaways, so I do need something to tame them, but not...

    Don't use me if you have oily hair, cuz you don't need a pomade. But if you have color treated, damaged hair that likes to look good, keep me in your handbag to smooth down emergency frizzies...

    A good value for the price, this is a nice product for razor-trimmed hair. It also works nicely to control flyaways. It can be greasy, so use sparingly.
