Gatsby Tancho Hair Styling Wax Stick Japanese Cherry Blossom Scent 3.5 ounce (100 grams) All Hair Types, Special Edition High-Grade Plant-based Pomade Tique Mandom Japan

Was skeptical at first, but when I received and used it, I was amazingly surprised. I love the scent and most especially, love how it holds and keeps my fly away hair in place! It doesn't feel greasy and there's no visible product on my hair.

When it comes to controlling flyaways, the GATSBY Tancho Hair Styling Wax Stick is a game-changer. My hair has always been a magnet for stray strands, and as someone who values a polished look—whether it's a sleek ponytail or a neatly styled bun—this product has been a lifesaver. A few months ago, I noticed a few rebellious gray hairs cropping up, sticking straight out from my middle part. These pesky strands refused to stay put, and even the strongest gels or pomades only offered temporary fixes. But after hearing about the wonders of the Tancho stick on social media (apparently Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber's hairstylist uses this), I decided to give it a shot—and I’m so glad I did. This wax stick works like magic. After just a few swipes along my part, I noticed my flyaways were tamed without weighing my hair down. The formula has the perfect balance: it's lightweight enough to avoid greasiness, yet strong enough to hold even the most stubborn strands in place all day long. Plus, the cherry blossom scent is subtle but delightful, adding a touch of luxury to my hairstyling routine. I’ve used it for sleek buns, ponytails, and even on days when I wear my hair down, applying it sparingly to target stray hairs. The versatility is unmatched, and unlike other products I’ve tried, it doesn’t leave my hair feeling stiff or crunchy. If you’re someone who struggles with baby hairs, flyaways, or unruly grays, I can’t recommend the GATSBY Tancho Wax Stick enough. It’s an affordable, effective solution that I now consider an essential in my hair care arsenal.

I've been struggling to tame my loose hair every morning, especially during the rainy season, and I've avoided using hair styling wax because I cook for my family and don't want to get chemicals on my hands or have the food catch the smell. However, I found this wax incredibly handy. It allows me to fix my hair effortlessly without getting the wax on my hands, and my hair looks sleek and neat after using it! It's perfect for tying my hair back for work and taming flyaways. I'm also obsessed with the cherry blossom scent—it's pleasant but not overpowering, so it doesn't interfere with my favorite perfume. Some reviewers mentioned that the wax can't be retracted once extended too much. I experienced this too, but it was easy to fix by removing the wax from the top and reinserting it from the bottom. Overall, this product has been a game-changer for me!

I have tried so many wax sticks and I’m so glad I got this one!! Trumps all the other sticks I’ve tried. I use a brush after applying to make sure it’s flat and it will not budge. The scent is a nice plus too.

I first bought their matcha wax, but the smell reminded me of a grandma from Japan (I’m Japanese). Tried this one which smells way better to me. It seems “looser” though, so when I used just a little to slick back for a ponytail, by the end of the day, the wax had shifted its way onto my forehead. I’ll try using even less next time. The matcha one actually was so thick, it would pull baby hairs out. So I guess this is better than losing hair.

Works great! ...as long as you don't accidentally push the stick all the way up. Once you do, it's DONEZO - can't be pushed back in and has to be thrown away :(

Kind of obsessed with this stuff!

Smells much better than the older green one they used to only sell on Amazon!
