Prefer over Platinum Texturizing Taffy
Finding the right product for your hair can be painful. Since finding this product I have been able to cut back on what I use and how. The Texturizing Taffy left my hair heavy and greasy looking even with a small amount. Mousse, gels, blowout creams, putty, I just couldn't get a consistent look. I...

New formula?
I used this product for a few years and loved it. Within the past year, it has either been unavailable or what I get is not what I was use to. It is not the clear color and it has liquid at the bottom of the jar. I tried it in my hair and it was a sticky mess. I will return.

So good my son stole it
I was using this to tame flyaways for ponytails and updos. My son started using it to create a piecey look. The jar lives in his room permanently now. We both have coarse, thick, straight, stubborn Asian hair that most products cannot tame. This stuff works.
I would not buy this again. Fine thin hair
Hair Type Straight Hair
The instructions say you can use it on wet or dry hair. When I use it on my wet hair, trying to dry it is hard. It still feels damp and there is a weird feeling like a coating on my hair. When I use it on my dry hair, it pulls any wave straighter. It takes all the style that I put in - out.
Perfect Paste
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This product is awesome. Great texture, not sticky like a lot of others. It holds hair perfectly and smells great
I would buy this product again
Hair Type Straight Hair

IT'S BACK!!!!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
Okay everyone...if this was your go to hair product before Covid and you LOVED it, well the formula is back to what it used to be. There for a few years the product changed, it was no longer clear, it was very, very sticky, basically unusable and very disappointing to all of its long time fans and users. But when I recently seen it in the store and it was clear again, just like its old self, I knew I had to give it a try! I am so glad that I did because it is just like it was before. So give it another try, you won't be disappointed!!
