    Works well

    kesork Works well - it only takes a little bit to hold my hair. Love that is comes in a tin instead of plastic. Between the design of the container and the product itself it's great for traveling - never leaks.

    Ordered store pick up. Was given a used item. This is the 3rd time I’ve gotten used item from store pickup.

    Works really well with very little amount needed, not sticky, feels natural to the hair, keeps my hair the messy way I managed all day long. I prefer this over the American Crew Fiber.

    Flexible paste consistency

    I used to love this product, but it appears the formula has changed. Now the paste is thicker than it used to be. Still a good product, but not as good as it used to be.

    My Son’s Go-To

    This has been my sons go-to styling product since we started doing his hair. We use a small amount on his shorter hair so it lasts us a while. The hold lasts all day without looking greasy or crunchy.

    Great product! Truly is flexible.

    I bought this product to use on my short hair. I am female. However, I was not able to find a product to use that I like that is marketed for females. This product is exactly what I was looking for! It smells great, holds all day, and can be easily restyled by running my fingers through my hair. I highly recommend it! I will definitely purchase again in the future.

    Weak version of what it used to be

    My go to product for many, many years. Now it's a watered down version of what it used to be. It's bad enough that they keep raising the price but now they have cheapened the formula. Sad...

    Great for the price

    Bought for my husband recently because I needed to grab something quickly. My local target didn’t have many choices so I grabbed this. He has very thick hair. Military cut. This did the job to keep it in place without making it hard or greasy.

    Axe really messed this up :(

    I had been using this product for many many years. As someone with thick and messy hair, I loved the almost waxy consistency and matte finish. It had great hold without going overboard or being obvious, and it lasted. However, the latest tin I just bought has a completely different product with a new formula that is completely different from what it had been all this time. The new "paste" is essentially a cream. It has none of the good qualities of the original product. Axe, how did you mess this up so bad? Please bring back the original formula.

    Holds & washes out easily

    I’m super picky about my two sons’ hair and this is one of two products I approve for their hair. Holds, but washes out easily. Perfect for my little boys, even their dad uses it now too

    Changed

    They changed the formula. It's like lotion now. Does nothing for texture or hold. This stuff was perfect. I don't know who was stupid enough think this was better than before. No way in heck I'm putting this new version on my hair.

    What happened to the paste........

    What happened to the paste? This new product is like lotion, not paste. I purchased a tin and assumed it was bad batch, bought another at a different store. Same issue. Different texture and different hold from the original.
