i have fructis wax and dax wax wax and i tried both products with hairspray to get a hard hold, but the hairspray does not have much effect to my hair when ive used wax. Anyone know of a wax product that works well with hairspray to give a hard hold?

[ilubebe]

er.. usually garnier stuff doesn't work that good :/
I use Bed head tigi hairspray really good :) I use it with gatsby wax the purple one, and it works fine for me :)

[03c0upe]

I use grunge mat and whatever hairspray I can find to hold it in place all day.

Where can I get gatsby besides from the sponsor

[S1 S2]

Aberdeen 1st floor. $20 + for per Gatsby moving rubber ouch... I'm going to order from sponsor soon after mine runs out.

[ilubebe]

You can buy it off from someone too~ some people sell it for $10 because they got it from hk :) i got mines for free from friends and my sister :] i only have purple, green, pink. Do not get green, it doesn't work well

[ASG111]

where's this "someone"? I want to try this pink one... sponsor has a good price, but shipping's hurting if I'm just going to try it out first with one product. =/

[ilubebe]

Some people sell it on facebook, i'll help you go look later :) Pink is so-so. It doesn't hold strong though.

[ASG111]

^ I have short hair, and i thought pink was best for short. or purple's better with a strong hold?

how do you guys compare Gatsby... to let's say, Sebastian?

[03c0upe]

is the stuff in the pink container like a liquid/paste or more thick

[ilubebe]

ASG11: Purple are better, because it holds strong.
ooh.. you can try to get pink. its so-so :)

03c0upe: its like paste.

edit: I found this guy that is selling pink & purple gatsby wax n msged him for you,, He typed "offer" lol so just offer him if you want to buy it. o.o?

If you can wait a month, surface shipping is cheap ;)

Or buy a few more things. If you buy 2 or 3 products, shipping isn't that bad at all.

surface shipping, lol. how long's the wait? 2 months?

[miss_crayon]

my brother uses wax a lot too since other hairsprays never worked well for him..however, he does use my

osis freeze hold hairspray
got2b glued blasting freeze spray

which seems to work quite well.

[SkinnyPupp]

Probably! I've had several people use that method already! I would never do it, but it's a LOT cheaper than normal airmail.

A lot of people order $150+ of product, and in that case EMS is about the same price as Airmail. That only takes 2-3 days to arrive.

Just now, someone ordered a $12 wax, and spent $25 on EMS shipping. That I don't understand.

HAAH same here. It's ridiculous how much we're actually paying for international shipping but then again it's international.
However, surface is just wayyyy too long, its 2-3months i believe and airmail isn't worth the money.

Could u send me a pm too. I need purple haha.

Green is not that bad..Just need more effort and twisting to make it more detail.

[ilubebe]

Ok i already pmed ASG111 & Type R B0i :)
anyway green is just okay, it didn't work for me -v- but it smells like apples.

[3xta]

i like the pink one, just make sure u dont use too much, its a really strong hold

[SkinnyPupp]

Green doesn't have a very strong hold. If it's not enough for you, try Orange instead. It's similar, but slightly stronger.

[S1 S2]

Thanks.

PM received. Sent msg to that kid on FB too.. I always used gray..now green.

[ilubebe]

No problem :] don't get green, it doesn't work ..just get purple :)

[Ikkaku]

i brought home 3 containers of pink and one of purple from HK... I really need to thin out my hair because they keep collapsing so my hair is really like on one side after a few hours

[R8]

Gatsby turquoise blue sucks bawlz... you can get it at T&T ;) its like 13 bux, try to look in every aisle since its quite hidden (I saw it at the Coquitlam Centre T&T...)

[03c0upe]

What other wax is out there, im not looking for something that is liquidy or like paste. Looking for something that has the viscosity of vaseline or something.

What style are you going for? Wet look? Long hair? Airy/bouncy? Let me know what you're looking for and I'll show you some good Japanese products for it :)

[ilubebe]

You can try "Uno Hair Wax" I never tried it before, but one of my friends said its good :/ He used the black one called "Shiseido UNO strong hold hair wax" yupyup

[SkinnyPupp]

^^^ The UNO W Design Fiber (http://www.kakoistyle.com/116-uno-w-design-fiber-sharp-design-wax.html) double wax is pretty awesome. It has two parts - You have a fibre gum to work some volume and control into your hair, and a hard wax to define the tips.

For you I'd recommend Ultimate Hold (http://www.kakoistyle.com/20-gatsby-styling-solid-ultimate-hold.html) or Twist & Spikes (http://www.kakoistyle.com/25-gatsby-twist-spikes-styling-clay.html)

If thats your website, whats the revscene special?

There was a 10% discount when it first opened, but that has expired. A new sale (on particular products) will start soon.

[yuusha]

I don't get why people say Gatsby Air Rise doesn't work. Do people not look at the descriptions for the products anymore? It's not for crazy gravity defying hold for super saiyan hair, it's used to give longer hair a bit of volume and texture by gathering strands into clumps.

In other words, it works but not for what you're trying to do with it.

Anyways, on to the OP's question. Hair spray and wax typically don't work too well together if you apply wax first, then use hairspray. You're basically covering up the hair strands' surfaces with wax and that prevents the hairspray from clinging to the hair strand the way it was meant to. In order for it to work you wind up using way more hairspray than you'd normally need, and that's just bad for the environment (and wallet)!

Solution? Spray the roots first, then define tips with wax. It's easier to rub out the hair spray and define the tips with wax by using your thumb and forefinger. If you really need the hard hold of hairspray as opposed to the flexible wax, then you need it at the roots. Think of it like a building. The bottom supports the top parts, so you should reinforce the bottom. Back combing also helps but it's pretty harsh on your hair and is only necessary for longer hair styles.

Like miss_crayon's brother, I use Got2B hair spray, and some korean brand mugen gets! wax.

[CorneringArtist]

I use this Tresemme wax that works pretty well as a Gatsby substitute since my local T&T gets it on rare occasions (last time it did, I got pink and grey, but next time I'm trying blue). Havent been able to try out hairspray since it'd be a waste if I'm playing rugby.

[S1 S2]

^ corner, can you give us all a heads up when your local T&T do have Gatsby in stock ?

[SkinnyPupp]

www.kakoistyle.com always has Gatsby in stock ;)

[S1 S2]

Yes I think I will stock up @ ur site tonight. Just wondering is the special discount still on? And is the price in USD or CAD?

[TOPEC]

anyone know where to get sebastian clay locally?
it seems like the sebastian clay doesnt leave an oily residue on the hair when i wash it off where as the gatsby clays makes my hair feel oily and sticky even after shampooing 2-3 times.

Try moving rubber, instead of the clay :thumbsup:

[Energy]

Aww and I was just about to buy more pink moving rubber. I tried it and liked it but its expensive...

[46_valentinor]

are there any products that can prevent wind from ruining my "short" hair in a convertible? LOL

[Kapo]

gatsbys are most common however its not a good quality for your hair.
try schevastian(Clay) or nakano(all kinds). you just need a decent hair spray.
as long as it just holds good, thats it.
