Yuck, yuck and yuck. I like pomades and I love Aveda but this is difficult to use, it's so greasy. And the smell -- AWFUL! Like cheap men's cologne, the type you smell on men who use bad pick up...

Awful :( I've owned a total of three Aveda hair products in my lifetime, and i wish i could give them all zero lippies! The fragrance in all the ones i owned were too much for me to bear. I...

There seems to be some confusion about how to apply this product. It is not intended to be applied directly to your hair, rather you should rub the stick on one palm and rub your hands together to...

I bought this a long time ago, but I remember it...and I remember that I HATED it! It was too sticky and I thought the smell was AWFUL! I felt like I was putting men's deodorant in my hair and it...

I tried this a couple years ago, but the bad experience lingers in my memory. I really hated this! The product was so hard it didn't want to apply to my hair. I had to press really hard to apply,...

I personally love this styling product. It's great for sporty short, textured style. A little goes a long way. My hair is very tough to style. This gives volume, shine and makes my hair to do what...

Ugh. I got sucked into buying this when I bought some Aveda shampoo... my big mistake. The wax stick is harsh on my coloured hair, and does nothing to hold or style my hair. If you accidentally...

This is an amazing product. It holds great without being sticky. It provides shine and movement while providing great control. It is very expensive but a little goes a looong way.

Useless, over-priced hair "wax" in a chapstick sized tube. Did NOTHING for my hair except make it waxy and dry. Don't buy this crap. The stick was so hard I could hardly get it to glide on my...

This stuff was VERY drying to my hair. It made it hard, crunchy and it broke it off. I will never use this again.

This is an excellent pomade! I pull my hair into a ponytail and swipe this on the ends. It gives that perfect, piecey look for my layers without the grease/gunked up look other pomades can leave....

I sympathize with those who struggled to return this product. Aveda should take more responsibility for their product or they will lose credibility. I found the smell horrible. It also was so...

I found this product to be gunky like I was putting kids paste in my hair. While it did hold down the flyaways, there are much nicer products out there for that.

This one was too controlling for me. It was hard to work with and sticky, and I wasn't able to use it very easily. The new Control Paste is much easier to work with.

This is a very interesting product - it looks like a deodorant stick. This product is supposed to tame fly-aways, frizz and add hold, texture and shine. This works great on my hair, but others may...
