Well, here we are the final day of the review for the Textured Clay hair product. It will be in two parts todays overall review and this evening when I will be cleaning and clarifying the hair to report on its ease of removal and overall feel after the product, as well as final performance reviews.
Today:
I think 4-days is the absolute max I would allow for the product to build up. I did re-apply on dry hair today, and it was a bit more difficult to attain a good styling and the drag from the brush and the comb was a bit tougher as is expected with a 4-day build up. All other aspects of the product remain consistent, as far a hold, look etc.
Today I also did not wash and condition my hair, just to see any performance difference. just a warm water rinse, followed by a cold water rinse ( a little trick passed on by my barber) and towel dry. I almost took a photo of my hair during application that showed how and what types of radical hair styles could be achieved with this product, but I looked like the villain from the "Incredibles" movie. So I thought better of if.
After styling, I did notice that the style was a good hold, but it did begin to have a built up look, although not bad it also began to feel a bit heavy in the hair, soft, not crunchy, or stiff, but you could easily tell there was a build up. Couple that with the matte finish, to my eyes it look a bit dirty. Not gross, just not a look I would want to maintain over a period of time.
As stated above, with complete cleaning and clarification I think it would be fine, but again not to exceed a 4-day build up.
Still a very nice product for specific applications and desire look. Here are the photos from today, a little different lighting here in my office.
I will be cleaning and clarifying with Marco's Method of Olive oil, followed by Dawn soap, followed by Shampoo and conditioner. This method had worked fantastic, even on the toughest of oil based pomade. At that time I will post final reviews and performance numbers.
Cheers and have a good day
