Description

Hair is made up of protein. Every touch, every treatment, every style you love—it all rewrites your hair’s protein. When protein is damaged, hair’s look and feel is compromised. That’s why Nexxus uses protein science not just to repair hair but to restore its ability to perform. It isn’t about one perfect hair day. It’s about a lifetime of style, built strand by strand. That’s where STYLEPROTECT™ Technology comes in—forming a strong hold layer over your sleek style as it’s applied, keeping strands in place while protecting hair’s proteins. This advanced system provides superior glide and control, adds texture and definition, and shields against humidity and environmental stressors for a polished finish without sticky residue, flakes, or flyaways. Our Slick Stick Strong Hold Hair Wax delivers smooth, controlled styles with strong hold and lasting protection for sleek, polished looks. Keep hair sleek and smooth with 48-hour frizz control and protect your style from frizz and flyaways for up to 72 hours with this hair wax. This hair wax hair stick has a superior glide for easy application and precise styling, while also adding texture and definition with a strong hold that lasts—so your look stays sleek and flawless no matter what comes your way. Nexxus, the protein science behind powerful hair since 1979.

    Great

    Nexus products to are amazing. I like how this product feels on your hair. It doesn’t weight it down like other products. The consistency is very nice. And it doesn’t leave a residue

    The modern hairspray

    This slick stick it really good with a sleek bun or if you just want to put back any flyaways . It’s much better than a hairspray and doesn’t damage my hair at all. The scent is strong but good. The texture is good and not sticky at all. It can be washed easily.

    Sleek ponytails for the win!

    This product is so easy to manage and so small you can carry it with you anyway in case you need a touchup. There is no overpowering scent and this works better than the dupes online. No buildup.

    Great hair wax stick!

    I love using this hair wax to stick my small hairs down especially when I put my hair in a slick back bun! I’ve also been using it after straightening my hair to get some of those hairs down. This hair wax sticks glides on so nicely and I’m able to apply it more than once on one area if needed. My hair doesn’t appear to be greasy while using it either just looks nice and smooth. Hair wash day is usually right after using this and I don’t notice any wax that is still in my hair after.

    Makes hair sleek

    Works amazing, washes out of hair easily, does not make hair hard or sticky. Make sure to leave the cap on or the top will get hard which it is fixable. You can just remove the top part. Makes hair very sleek and it is not too big or small works on hair and great.

    Well worth the money

    It adds great shine to the hair but also has a strong hold with a smooth and soft texture. It's pretty easy to use, especially in the winter where most waxes become too hard to work into the hair.

    Wax is nice-sharp metal rim

    The hair wax itself is nice, doesn't leave your hair super sticky, or heavy on the hair. The rating is lower because use if the product is odd, the wax does not stay up and the metal rim is sharp. Would be great if this had a screw mechanism to help the wax stay up.

    Didn’t love

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this but it felt really hard to use. I felt like the wax flaked off my hair really easily . It doesn’t hold very well and you need to end up restyling your hair anyways.

    Great for flyaways

    I have never been a fan of hairspray. That being said, when I pull my hair back, I use this lightly to have all my flyaways stay put without that stiff crunch that I would get from hairspray. Its a waxy clear texture, easy to use & can fit in a purse easily. It has a faint scent but it's not unpleasant. You must push up like a push-pop yet I find it stays up when being used.

    Slay baby hairs.

    I use this for my daughter's baby hairs. It lays her baby hairs down and makes her hair look nice and clean. I also use it when I'm putting ponytails on her hair it helps the hair stay put. It's very smooth texture, it doesn't leave flakes or buildup. It gives hair a pretty shine. It's not a gel or a cream it's a solid product think of a giant solid chap stick for your hair. You push the product up the tube and apply directly to the hair or you can run it into fingers and rub it in to hair that way.

    That it works

    Love it! Efficient packaging and product works well. I have thick, coarse hair that’s hard to keep down when in a bun but this worked. It did not leave any residue, which I have had happen with other products.
