## Description

Grunge Mat Hair Wax lets you create a dry, matte look with firm but soft hold. How to use: Apply a small amount of wax to the palm of your hand. Rub hands together spreading evenly until transparent. Try to also get it between your fingers. Begin styling with only a small amount of wax and add in stages and as needed. Over application of this product may result in an undesirable effect. Make sure to seal the product tightly at the end of each use.

Review: Sehr gut, auch für dünneres Haar geeignet, egal ob Kurzhaarschnitt (ca. 4-5 cm) oder längere Haare. Pro Anwendung benötigt man keine große Menge (ca. haselnussgroße Menge reicht aus), am besten nach dem Föhnen. Das Produkt riecht zudem angenehm und lässt sich leicht abwaschen. Dieses Produkt verwende ich seit Jahren und habe in der Zwischenzeit auch andere, teurere Produkte probiert, bin aber schließlich wieder auf den Gatsby Moving Rubber Grunge Mat umgestiegen, weil für mich das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis einfach paßt. Mit dem Verkäufer hatte ich bisher nur die besten Erfahrungen. Das Produkt wird sehr schnell geliefert und der Verkäufer schätzt seine Kunden sehr. An dieser Stelle vielen Dank, Herr Taniguchi!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***R on 18 July 2014*

My hair is 1-2 inches, extremely thick and I prefer the spiky look. Over the past year, I have been in search of the "perfect" hair creme/wax which provides the highest hold and a matte look. In short, there are lots of options that function very differently. To date, I have tried American Crew Fiber, D:fi D:sculpt, TIGI matte separation, Moving Rubber Spiky Edge, Moving Rubber Grunge Mat, Jonathan Dirt, Sticky Rice, TRENDStarter matte finishing wax and Eufora Hero. All of these options are priced in the same range (per oz) but each have a unique set of pros and cons. I'm still searching for the silver bullet (for my hair type and style). For Grunge Mat, here's the breakdown: What's the "actual" hold like? Very good - better than Fiber. The hold is also extremely consistent throughout the day. How easy is it to work into the hair? Very easy. Unlike other products, the color is grey. The texture is very creamy and easy to apply. How natural does the hair feel throughout the day? Somewhat unnatural. This product is in the middle regarding overall feel (relative to the other products). It's not as natural as Fiber but better than some of the cheaper options, like TIGI. I believe that this con is inherent because of the super-strong hold that you get from the product. Is the hold consistent? Yes. This particular product should last for 12+ hours before you see any loss in hold. How much do you need to get a decent hold? Not much. This product definitely gives you the biggest bang-for-your-buck regarding the amount you need to use to achieve a good hold. Does it wash out easily? Not at all. This is almost as bad as American Crew molding clay (which it comes time to wash your hair). To be fair, it's still not as bad as the worst but you may need to do 2 washes to fully-remove the product. While I was ready to settle on this particular product (for my needs), I decided to keep experimenting because of this particular con. How does it smell? Waxy and floral. The smell is slightly strong and definitely not preferable to many of the other options, like Dirt, Sticky Rice and Spiky Edge. Please see my other reviews to compare against all of the above products. Overall, this is a top contender. If you can accept the challenges associated with washing this product out and a slightly sandy texture, you may find this to be the best option out there. I don't really prefer the smell but, on the other hand, it's strong and very easy to work with. Highly recommended.
