Review: A Product I’ve Trusted for Over 10 Years - I’ve been using this for over a decade, and it’s still my go-to. I’ve tried a lot of hair products over the years, and this one really stands out. The texture is smooth and easy to work with, and it spreads evenly without feeling sticky or heavy. It gives a clean, natural hold that keeps my hair in place without making it look stiff or overly styled. What I really like is that it doesn’t leave a greasy shine or flaky residue. It holds throughout the day but still feels flexible. The scent is subtle and fresh, not overpowering. Overall, it feels like a high-quality product that’s easy to use and actually performs the way it should. Also, price is very competitive to other products. Review: The best, of the best, of the best! Sir! - I'm just your average middle class father/husband, but who's had major hair product experience (Thanks to an aunt that worked at Sally's Beauty and a sister who's a professional stylist/esthetician!) and knows what he wants in a hair product. And that is: - MATTE FINISH! This has to be the most important. I want my hair to look natural, but maybe even give it that flat iron look without having to straighten it. There are many that claim to have a matte finish, but very few are true matte. - NO CRUNCH! Nothing says "I haven't moved past 90's fashion" more than wearing socks with shorts....oh and hard, crunchy hair!! Probably plastered with L.A. Looks gel, and maybe topped off with some Aqua Net. - LASTING HOLD! I know it's hard to ask for a lasting hold from a non-gel product, but it CAN be done people. This product is proof. It lasts alllllll day. I put this stuff on at about 7:00AM every morning and my hair keeps its shape until I go to bed. Granted I only wash my hair with shampoo on Saturdays...that might help too I guess. - CHEAP! Ok so this product doesn't get 5 stars for price, but it's not as expensive as others I've tried and as of right now (06/28/12) on desertcart its under $15. That's a price I can justify not spending on my daughter or wife. And last, but not least... - DOESN'T SMELL LIKE A DOUCHEBAG! Yeah. Back in 2010, I was economically forced to purchase....an AXE product! Ewwww, I know. I know. I cringe just saying that name. But I got the "messy look" paste and it actually wasn't THAT bad. It's biggest flaw was one that should've been an obvious one: it reeked of butt and douchiness. This TIGI one actually smells pretty darn good. In conclusion, I've finally found my savoir in hair products. TIGI Bedhead Matte Separation Wax. This just replaced Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shaping Cream for the #1 spot. CHI Matte Wax comes in at #3, but I heard they're discontinuing this if they haven't already. #4 Is surprisingly Garnier Fructis Pliable Clay. This had a short stint in '09 and is no longer available, but man this stuff was just as good as PM's and was only like $4. Sadly, they just stopped making it. ' Axe, Suave, American Crew, Woody's, Matrix, Joico, Got2b? Don't waste your time, or money. So yeah. Buy this. 2015 UPDATE --------------------- Wrote this 3 years ago and I'm happy to say I still use this stuff. STILL have yet to find anything better. I also just received my first new brown container and I'm also happy to report that I STILL love it. Maybe need a little more than I used to, but it still smells great, holds great, and is definitely still matte. So yeah. Buy this. ## Features - Bed Head for Men Matte Seperation Wax is a workable wax with a matte definition for a hold that strong enough to resist humidity. - Perfect for defined looks that need hold and texture. - Texture and Hold Factor: 5 out of 5 - Fragrance: Fresh Green Aromatic - How to use: Work between the palms of the hands and apply to towel-dried or dry hair for hold and texture.

Don't use it. Seriously. **Q: Is it water soluble ? When i think at wax i think at grease, grease is not water soluble.** A: No, it's very water soluble! Not greasy at all! I can go in the pool, get our and re style when it dries without applying anymore! **Q: I just read in a details magazine article that this is "great for sensitive hair and skin, fragrance free". True or false?** A: I had an adverse allergic reaction when using this (swollen ears, flushing, dry skin etc...) so that statement is definitely false. The list of ingredients has many things that aren't in other hair waxes, including synthetic beeswax, so if you have sensitive hair/skin, I'd look elsewhere to be safe. **Q: Anyone find it difficult too work through hair? This feels a bit dry and sticky (I did rub my palms). Not easy to spread through hair like gel is.** A: Emulsify the product in your hands and then add a drop of water, emulsify again and it'll be a much smoother application in dry hair, with still the same hold & matte finish ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Product I’ve Trusted for Over 10 Years *by D***4 on February 23, 2026* I’ve been using this for over a decade, and it’s still my go-to.

Up until very recently, I’ve always worn my hair in a buzz, so I’ve had very little need for hair products. I grew my hair out and discovered that I really need to put something in my hair in the morning, otherwise I’ll look like a muppet by lunch. So I ordered the TIGI wax and started using it, and whoa—it made such a huge difference in the way my hair looks. It’s easy to use, and not too greasy, and it held for a few hours before it started to waver. The only problem with it is that one day, when it was particularly hot, I started sweating profusely, and the wax started melting down my face. The next day, I woke up with pimples all over, and it was awful. Luckily for me, my girlfriend gave me some of her TreeActiv Anti Acne & Rosacea Treatment Sulfur Mask Plus Rhassoul, Bentonite Clay Mask with Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera - Refreshing Lemon Scent (1 Jar) (8 Oz) which was really helpful in getting rid of the acne on my face. Basically, I’ve had to learn to use much less of the wax when it’s really hot, as it breaks me out, but aside from that it works famously. In regards to the mask, I just use it as a face scrub and I get rid of all my acne and blackheads that way. Also, the brand has a TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back! (60ml) that really works well for getting rid of razor bumps, but I’ll leave that for another review, another time. I recommend the wax, it’s great for keeping your hair in place for long periods of time. I started using this after a buddy of mine recommended it for me.
