Always been a big fan of beeswax so when I see something new or different on the shelf I always pop the top and take a look. Seems like there's a million different variations from creams to the water based edgewax.. sometimes you can tell it's one to leave behind, but this one looked like a winner so I grabbed a can for around 3$
Looks like a nice firm wax to me which is what I look for. Smells like a no frills beeswax should, very reminiscent of the standard issue Murray's version and they both share the same three ingredients: wax, petro, and fragrance. Already it seems a lot like my old stand by, not a bad thing.
Scooping in it's solid enough, feels about right to me.. a bit hard to break the surface, but smooths out just a bit softer once you rub it in your palms. I put it through my hairs without any snags, used just a tiny bit and then combed it through. No problems so far, got my hairs in place quickly.
Looks a little rough around the edges, but I didn't get my top clipped in as close as usual so it's just the haircut
This was after rocking it for a few hours and a recomb. I like to see how it's going to look after some time to give you a better feel for it. Sometimes you can make anything look sweet right out of the can, but halfway through work or your day is when the true test comes into play. Seemed to hold up ok, but I noticed it didn't feel really sticky, I like that shit that's going to grip your hairs together and hold them super tight throughout the day. I mean it works enough, but I wouldn't put it in the super strong category. So though it might look tight in the pictures, after walking in the wind or something things might get a little out of place.
Worked good enough though, I like it overall. Gave my hair a bit of a shine, nothing too glossy, and it held up well. Price is right, smells good, goes in easy, and holds good too. I've always been partial to the Murray's Beeswax, but I'd say this is the next best in line out of the different ones that I've tried. I've only seen this at one supply shop and have never seen it before so I picket it up. If you come across some and like beeswax products I'd say it's worth having in the arsenal.
Probably works great for locks and braids, or if your hair is thicker and or curlier than mine I bet it's real good. Keep an eye out for it.
