The same chart in English:

[lestat]

^cool.. is there a chart for the Gatsby Wax?

[Frey]

i use it because takuya uses it too

[cuddlysheep]

which one of the gatsby is non greasy? im using crew styling cream ,but the hold is not that good.

[herpsky]

I use the spiky edge and grunge matte.

But the moving rubber series isn't strong enough for me.

I tried loose shuffle (orange) before but it's hella sticky.

Long hair in the US = short by japanese standard.

I'd say the spiky edge or the grundgemat would work the best for most people.

I have the megahold wax, the one in the red container. Makes my hair very very very dry

how strong is it? and do you know if the camouflage green ultra hold one is much better?

[munkyballz]

this worked for me. Don't bother trying their wax....

Haven't checked out their moving rubber series or whatever, but I'm using this ^ and am pretty satisfied. Basically the same, if not better than Sebastian's version that most people seem to swear by. Although with the import mark-up, I think both are basically the same price.

i've recently been using bumble and bumble's sumo wax. soft wax, ideal for short-medium hair styles. for long hair it can be used for volume but hold will be minimal without hairspray. have to heat it up (blowdryer) for full effect. other than that, a great product!

Ive never tried the green one. But its okay, my hair is really soft so I cant judge. The clay I use is stronger tho

Pantene clarifying shampoo.

I try to make sure that I have this and a regular shampoo for morning showers.

i've tried quite a few products by Gatsby and Uno

i'd say the Gatsby mat styling wax is the best i've used, easy to apply and wash off, and good holding stregth, even better if u use the spray after waxing for maxium holding effects

BTW, i just found a brand new Sebastian styling clay in cupboard, anyone who wants to buy it in Sydney, just send me a PM, i sure can offer a price much less than retail

[apu]

heres a few i've tried over the past few years

the one on the bottom left corner is probably the easiest to use

[Pandemonium]

how's gatsby clay in comparison to xtah?

i have the mat type as well and the crappy red one.

also, l'oreal is interesting.

shiseido's hair products are said to be really good.

but i don't know where to get them.

i only got this frame of mind because gackt did a CM for them.

gackt > cool.

[kolourhero]

i've got both the xtah and gatsby mat type styling wax, and i must say i prefer the xtah so much more. the gatsby isnt matte at all.

anyway, i got the grunge mat from the moving rubber series today, i'll use it 2moro and see how it goes.

[guffer]

i use fudge hair putty followed by crude clay

[apu]

i will be getting the Uno W-design fiber soon, so i'll try review that if i can

[Pandemonium]

where are you sourcing this stuff from?!

sydney? i can't find this stuff in melbourne.

i will be getting the Uno W-design fiber soon, so i'll try review that if i can

[apu]

i am getting my jap proxy to throw it in with the rest of the stuff i got from japan as i couldnt locate this stuff any where else

[herpsky]

Just bought this gatsby. The best hair wax ever (well, I'd suck some Ds for Arimino

Spice Sisters hair wax but that shit is impossible to get).

This wax is called power graphite

You can do anything you want with your hair. messy, mullet, and etc.

my hair even held up well after running 5 miles

[apu]

hey Herp

whats the gatsby wax called?

i browsed thru the Gatsby website and couldnt find any info on it

[kolourhero]

once applied, is it shiny herpsky?

[86'er]

You guys could try Dax Wax it has supoer hold but is absolutely horrible to feel and difficult to get out your hair without using alot of conditioner.

[herpsky]

The gatsby is called "Power graphite."

Matte (non-shiny) so it doesn't look like you are using hair products.

It's like 450 yen in japan, I think.

I picked it up for like 8 dollars in NYC.

i also use the sebastian... very strong and it doesn't glitter at all

[daikonyama]

I've been using the Gatsby Power Graphite Wax for a while now too (primarily because it's really the only thing that's half decent and available in my area). Hold is alright - but don't expect it to keep your hair straight up all day long or anything. So long as you're not doing anything extremely crazy, it should do the trick. Isn't shiny at all.

As for Gatsby Clay -- it's pretty tough to get out of your hair, so I wouldn't recommend it if you can avoid it.

My gf also got me some of the Gatsby Grunge Matte Moving Rubber a while back, and I don't use it so much. Doesn't seem to have a lot of hold in my opinion, so unless you have a hairstyle where the hair typically is molded to your head, it probably won't do you a lot of good.

Damn. You style your hair even for a run? Hardcore shit. That's some serious dedication to fashion...

[herpsky]

nah dude

it's just that i had to style my hair in the morning

and i just went running after class...

but you gotta look fly @ the gym though
