Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I received my package I used it first thing in the morning - the picture with the grey shirt was the same day when I was finished applying it (I also washed my hair prior to using the wax and twist it with leave-in conditioner). The instructions are extremely easy to follow - you begin on damp hair and work your way from the bottom up (I sprayed my hair with water first); the color is a lot brighter once your hair dries (second picture of my hair is the next day in the afternoon outside). Personally I feel that some customers who had issues with it may not have followed the instructions - I say this because before purchasing I watched several YouTube videos to see how it looked on 4A/4B natural hair and at least two creators used it on dry hair and some commented they had done the same. Regardless, the pigmentation is great as you can see - my natural hair color is dark brown. I found that it was not drying and did not cause my hair to flake, feel hard, dry, or brittle but that could be because as I said, I already had leave-in conditioner in my hair; I would not recommend using this as your sole hair product considering wax and castor oil are sealants, not moisturizers. The consistency of the wax itself is a bit tacky but not annoyingly sticky or greasy - it rinsed off my hands easily with just water and soap took away any color residue. I also didn't need to use the entire jar to get the color you see (I included a picture of what was left when I was finished, my hair straight is past shoulder - about 2/3 of the jar remains). The only pitfall with this is it DOES TRANSFER COLOR until your hair dries. Once dry there is very slight transfer but nothing extremely noticeable. I would advise anyone buying this to stay away from items you do not want stained while your hair is wet or your hands are not clean; I touched my phone case and washed it with soap but all of the color didn't come out of it (see photo). Other than that I really enjoyed this - it's fun and I would purchase again! (P.S. - if you are wary about the product please don't buy it - Amazon's return policy specifically says "Some health and personal care items" - while it may not specify which, opening health and beauty items render them non-sterile; defective and damaged products are one thing, not liking it is another)
