About Hip Peas Natural Hair Styling Balm/Gel/Pomade - Light Hold, 2 oz jar
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
77% liked the texture
The hair styling gel has a nice texture and doesn't leave hair sticky. The smell is also pleasant.
71% liked the glossy shine level, yet 29% preferred a matte finish
The product has a light sweet scent and is not greasy or sticky.
My hair drops or untassels its placement within an hour, indicating that the shine level of the product is not up to the mark.
88% praised the scent, but 12% found it overwhelming
The kids love the smell of the hair-styling-gel.
I don't like the cucumber scent, but I love it for keeping my baby's hair smoothed back and out of their eyes. The scent fades a bit throughout the day.
I think the scent of the hair-styling-gel is pretty bad and it seems like they were going for a grape scent.
73% found it residue-free, while 27% struggled
The product is residue-free and disappears from my hair without leaving any crusty residue.
The balm is easy to apply, leaves no residue, and has a durable soft smooth finish for most of the day.
I found the product to be residue-free, with no overwhelming smell and no irritation to the scalp or skin.
If the product is not used properly, it will leave a white residue. It is recommended to rub it in hands all the way first or you will have to comb through white clumps.
72% were satisfied with the longevity, but 28% weren't
I noticed that the hold of the gel doesn't last long, but it smells great and gives my son great style.
The gel smells great and gives my son great style, but the hold doesn't last long.
This hair-styling gel lasts for 20 minutes longer than just putting lotion in my hair.
People expect this palmade to last all day, but it does not. This is not specific to this brand, but rather a general observation. I suggest finding a different product, such as a gel, if you are looking for a product that lasts all day.
73% appreciated the hold strength
I have found that the product has a strong matte hold in fine hair.
I love that this product has the perfect amount of shine, strong hold, and no flakes.
80% found it compatible with their hair type, while 20% didn't
The tablets are suitable for my African American hair type, which has loose curls except for in the middle where things get a bit nappier.
After the product dries out, my hair sticks out, indicating that it's not suitable for my hair type.
The balm did not hold for my son's short fine hair, but it may work for other hair types or styles.
77% appreciated the flexibility for restyling, but 23% didn't
I compared this product with others and found that it goes on lightly, produces a flexible feel to the hair, and holds the hair in place much better.
The hair styling gel seems okay at first, but within an hour my hair drops or untassels its placement.
