Highland Glacial Cream - Hair Styling Cream- Smooths, Hydrates, De-Frizzes, Texturizes & Defines - Low Hold Matte Finish for All Hair Types - Natural Ingredients that Boost Hair & Scalp Health- 2.5 oz

I’ve been using this Highland Glacial Cream and it’s been a really solid styling product, especially if you want a natural look. It has a light hold with a matte finish, so it does not make your hair look stiff or overly styled. Instead, it smooths everything out and enhances your natural texture, which makes it great for everyday use. It also helps tame frizz and keeps your hair feeling soft instead of dry. What I like most is how lightweight and clean it feels. It goes in easily, does not leave any greasy or sticky residue, and works well on both damp and dry hair. The ingredients feel high quality, and over time my hair actually felt healthier and more manageable. Overall, it is a great option if you want something low effort that still makes your hair look put together. It is perfect for a relaxed, natural style while still keeping things smooth and controlled.

For reference: male, hair about 6” in length, medium to thick, wavy. Maybe the changed the cap tip because it works well to get the seal punctured now. The included key is a nice update. If you want the product to apply evenly and easily in wet hair (I would not recommend adding to dry hair, personally), you really need to rub your hands together vigorously to break it down. Then you can gently begin patting/rubbing it onto your hair before working it in with your fingers. It honestly isn’t hard to apply and the last thing I want to do when adding product to my hair is rub and tug on my hair fast and hard anyway. Yes, it could go in easier but it’s fine as is. If you hair is longer, add a few drops of water to your hand to get things looser. Scent: smells kind of waxy to me. I can pick up some light herbal and woody smell, but it’s subtle. It won’t interfere with any perfume you’re wearing. Texture: the product itself is more like a paste than a cream. You could say it’s a bit coarse, but once to work it into your hands, it feels similar to many light hold products. Performance: for solidly short hair, I think I’d take this over their pomade (which I haven’t tried). You’ll wind up with a natural finish and enough hold to keep your hair looking good all day. This cream adds just a bit of texture. For more definition and texture, you need to use a lot. That can be painful in your wallet, considering the price. If you’re looking for volume, this will help. It does control frizz pretty well but it isn’t perfect. As for hydration, I think your day to day approach to shampooing and conditioning your hair is more important. This product helps, but if you’re stripping your hair of its natural oils by using shampoo daily (especially harsh shampoo), you’re not going to get the desired effect. Value: my hair is about 6”. I’d say it takes two large pea sized amounts to achieve my styling goals, which means this tube should last as least 6 weeks with daily use. At $30 per tube, it neither amazing nor terrible. That said, if you subscribe on Highland’s website, you get free shipping and 20% off. That helps keep your spend more sane. I’ve become a repeat customer. I like the product and dig the company’s goals. It’s worth a try!

First off product came smashed in a very flimsy box. It was off to a bad start already. Upon opening you’ll notice the product is in an almost “paint tube” like bottle/tube. The whole design is dependent on this metal key that’s inside the box the hair creme came in. You use this key to turn the tub to squeeze out product as you go. I can easily see how someone will miss this metal key and accidentally toss it along with the packaging especially if it arrives like mine did all crushed up. You have to puncture the tube with the sharp edge of the cap. Then hair product just flows out of the opening due to the pressure of the metal turn key if you don’t close the tube soon enough. Even after you stop turning the key hair product will keep coming out of the opening if you don’t cap it quick enough. That’s just all about presentation not even talking about the performance of the hair product itself. I initially applied it to my dry hair as I do for almost every type of hair styling product I’ve used (clay, creme, moose, etc.) Instantly after putting this through my hair I noticed a TON of white flakes all over my hair. It looked super disgusting and made my hair look unkept as if I hadn’t washed it properly in many days. Definitely not something I would leave the house feeling comfortable with especially if you were going to work or some social event. I then went online and saw this company saying to make sure you apply this to moist or damp hair. They even suggested having your hands slightly wet when you apply the product. The next day I decided to give this another try and followed all the suggestions. I applied the product to slightly damp hair with some slight moisture in my hands before applying. Again many white flakes all over my hair without even a few seconds passing by from applying it. Really tried to give this product a fair shot but it’s just flat out bad at the end of the day. Not sure how others are giving it good reviews. Maybe they’re friends of the business owners or perhaps all have blonde and light brown hair so they can’t see any of the product flakes. If you have dark hair or any sort of brown or black hair, I’d avoid this at all costs. No point in risking someone coming up to you in public or at an important business dinner and pointing out that you have dandruff like flakes all over. Very disappointed at this product especially at the $30 asking price. Spend that money elsewhere on a more reliable brand like Bumble & Bumble hair products!

I’ve tried a lot of hair products over the years, and the Glacial Cream has quickly become one of my favorites. It gives my hair a natural look with just the right amount of hold without feeling stiff or greasy. I have a mullet, and it adds texture and control while still letting my hair move naturally. It washes out easily and doesn’t leave any buildup behind. If you’re looking for a product that gives a clean, effortless style without looking overdone, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.

As someone with thin, curly hair, I find that this styling product works very well. It melts right into the hands with a bit of water, glides through the hair, and gives me defined, fuller-looking curls with an impressive amount of hold for something that isn’t completely weighing the curls down. I find the smell to be fine, but it’s probably not for everyone. It doesn’t wash out well without water alone, so if you’re not a shampoo every day person it does build up quick. I find washing every other day to be the maximum you can stretch washes out. It’s maybe not the perfect product for me, but it’s certainly the best I’ve found so far. It is pricey but a little goes a long way.

I recently discovered this product through Instagram and so far I am loving it. I have thick wavy hair and I really like how light weight it feels when I style it, this product doesn’t feel sticky on the hair at all and it has a fresh smell to it. This product is supposed to have good quality ingredients so that is always a plus when putting something in your hair, when it comes to packaging I do feel like they can improve in that area I wasn’t a huge fan of the tool that you need to use to get the product out, but other than that I definitely recommend for a light weight natural look.

I got flooded with Facebook ads for this product and decided to give it a try. I have medium length wavy hair. Let me start by saying I do like how the product works in my hair. It offers some control without being gummy or sticky in the hair, and the clay in it gives it almost a dry shampoo quality where it adds texture without making hair look greasy. All that said, I was really disappointed in the size of the tube for this amount of money. It’s much smaller than I thought it would be, and it takes a fair amount of the product, probably an almond sized dab, with each use to really get my hair under control. I’ve only had it about two and a half weeks and am already close to running out. The tube also popped about a week in, so product is leaking out of the top. Once the product hits air, the clay hardens it so it’s not really usable, so I’m keeping a glob of unused product on top to guard the rest of what’s in the tube. All in all it’s not a bad product, but I don’t think there’s enough of a wow factor to justify the small size, especially when the tube leaks really easily. I will probably go back to Kevin Murphy easy rider or free flow once this tube runs out.

When people think about hair products, they usually put them on a binary scale: either it holds your hair in place or it leaves it shiny and bouncy. That’s because most products are marketed as either moisturizers or holding products. What a lot of people don’t realize is that there’s a whole matrix of products out there that do a million different things depending on the look you’re going for. If you’re like me and treat hair care as a hobby and part of your grooming routine, you might fall in love with glacial cream like I did. I have a medium-short haircut and wanted something that left my hair soft and malleable that tamed frizz and flyaways while smoothing and conditioning. Most people reach for Moroccan or argan oil when they want a smoothing cream, but they can leave hair greasy and limp. This doesn’t do that. It gives volume, texture, and body while still keeping hair smooth and manageable. It’s not a holding gel, and it’s not advertised as one. Too many people use it like it’s supposed to be a standalone holding product and then wonder why their hair feels dirty and bogged down. It’s designed to stand alone as a smoothing product for shake and go haircuts, or to layer with holding products. And, unlike a lot of silicone or oil based products, this one has amazing washability. It doesn’t take any extra effort in your shampoo routine to get it out. A tube lasts me about four months, which is a solid value for the size of the tube you get. You don’t need to use much for it to do the job. It’s also unscented, which makes it easy to slot into any beauty routine. Again, this isn’t a standalone holding gel. It’s a smoothing and conditioning clay, and if your hair type benefits from that kind of control, it’s fantastic.
