Paul MitchellDry Wax, Long-Lasting Hold, Matte Finish, For All Hair Types, 1.8 oz[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

My hairdresser recommended this. It only takes a VERY small amount to get the results I want. Works well on my coarse, gray, thick hair.

I have used this hair wax for many years. I’ve tried other brands but I always return to this one. I have very thick, straight hair that is cut short with lots of long layers. This hair wax keeps the “floaty hairs” locked down, and keeps everything looking sleek. When I run my fingers through the layers, they lay perfectly with a little help from the wax. I only use about a pea size and rub it all over my warm hands to help it melt. It says it has a firm hold and it does. I have used this for years and I thought it was discontinued because Ulta stopped carrying it, I was so happy to find it on Amazon. I hope that Paul Mitchell never stops making it! When I thought it was discontinued, I tried some other brands and was very disappointed. There is nothing like this hair wax.

I use this wax in conjunction with Smooth Viking Holding Cream (High Hold + Matte) to achieve a hairstyle somewhere between a "Side Part" and "Messy." I have medium short hair, which is about 1" long (basically a #8 if you were to use clippers), so my hair is a little too long to style with gel, but still short enough where it will resist even medium hold creams/waxes. The Smooth Viking cream is a little cheaper per volume and has a matte finish, so I start styling my hair with that product, then finish off the front comb over with the Paul Mitchell wax.Word of warning: it's really easy to overuse the wax. Hair lengths and styles will likely vary the amount you'll need to use, but start with a less than a pinch on your first go. I love that this wax remains pliable throughout the day, so if my hair is disturbed I can brush my fingers through it to fix it. Only complaint is because it remains tacky/greasy throughout the day, it also easily clings to floating dust (or animal fur if you have pets) in the air. For that reason, and because it's slightly glossy, I would not use this product on my entire head of hair.

Very dense product. That said, you only need a tiny amount which you rub into your fingertips and sparingly pull through those areas you want to control and lift. It is a great alternative to hairspray and helps to keep your hair style natural looking. My hair is short and needs help keeping the hair around my cowlick in place! I can’t speak about its use on long hair, but I think for short, straight hair that has little or no body, it is a must!

It took many years to find the right hair product. This Paul Mitchell hair wax is the best I’ve found and the only one I’ll use going forward. A lot of waxes don’t have the matte finish and hold that this does. It’s definitely more expensive than the waxes you’ll find at any retailer but for good reason. You get what you pay for and I’ll gladly pay the extra for this.There was a 6 month time period or so that this product stopped being manufactured, but it’s back so I’m very grateful. Other people looking for it too so they must’ve realized the err of their ways.But again, great product for for straight, thick hair. There’s not a better one on the market.

I cannot live without this dry wax. It is essential to my spiky short hair look.It's not too waxy but definitely gives me the definition I need. I hope Paul Mitchell never does away with this product.

It says it is a dry, moldable wax, with a dry look. It is the worst hair product I’ve ever used in my life. I have had very short hair for 25 yrs and used at least 50+ styling products. The tiniest amount saturates your hair, makes it look super greasy and weighed down. AWFUL! And it was very hard to wash out, took several washings, even on my hands. I do like other PM products but can’t imagine anyone that would like this unless you trying to replace Brylcream.

I wanted a choppy pieces look to my hair. This product does not provide that and leaves hair sticky. Not what I was looking for.
