I love this stuff. My hair hasn't looked good since it was discontinued. I'm so glad I found it again.

I have been using this product for years and I love it. It helps give my thin hair a piecey, full look without getting too sticky. You can also add to it later in the day if needed. I can no longer find this product. Don't understand why you would discontinue a great product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not Good
10 years ago
I bought this trying to find something to replace switch flicks. Getting rid of switch flicks was the worst thing you could do. It worked so well with short hair. This stuff is heavy and made my hair feel dirty.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I got this as the replacement for switch flicks and I do not like this item at all. I have short spiky hair and it made my hair feel dirty, weighed it down and very hard to the touch. I tried to comb it out at of the day and was not working. When I went to wash it out it took three times to get it all out. Please Please bring back my switch flicks.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Received a sample of this product from my stylist and tried it on my short wavy hair. LOVE IT!!! It was everything it promised and then some. Keeps my style in place through-out my work day (12-13 hrs) and can restyle at any time. Can't wait to find a place to purchase it!!! Thank you Matrix you have come up with something that really delivers as promised.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Under Achiever
11 years ago
Received a sample from my stylist, and based on the product description, I felt my quest for the perfect hair product was over. I applied a dime size amount to my damp short hair, but after a few passes through my hair, the product stiffened up to the extent that i litterally started to pull my hair out. Once dried it felt dirty like the others have stated.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great for Men's Styling
11 years ago
Picked up this product in UK at a new hairdresser in the village I was staying in. Really liked the effect it had on holding my hair but not having that super shiny look. Enough Hold to keep my medium length men's style where I want it, but not that rock hard, untouchable texture that you get with some products. Will be purchasing again. I've read others comments below and will say, this product is probably more suited to a shorter to medium length men's cut, not to say that others won't find success with this product
Yes, I recommend this product.

makes hair feel dirty

Got a sample and used about a dime size amount for my shoulder length hair. Yuck! My hair felt filthy, tangled and looked greasy. I couldn't do anything with it and pulled it (painfully) into a ponytail.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Over Achiever Left My Hair Feeling Dirty
11 years ago
I received a sample of Over Achiever from my hairstylist. Today I tried it and I can't wait to wash it out of my hair. I wanted my hair to have a lot more body, but I certainly did not expect it to leave my hair feeling so dirty. I used only about half the sample and had to use a lot of water with it just to come it through my hair. My hair is so stiff and waxy that I could not brush my hair because it pulls my hair too much--it hurts! I'm sure sorry I tried this product.
No, I do not recommend this product.
