Review: Gatsby Moving Rubber - Loose Shuffle

Foreword: I recently purchased a product called Gatsby Moving Rubber. I was drawn to this product because I spend plenty of time on Asian cosmetics websites, and this product seemed to pop up on every single one of them.

Gatsby Moving Rubber comes in several different formulas, each having a certain gloss and hold level. Also, on Gatsby's website, they are each accompanied by their own video, which shows a demo of how the wax works and one way to style your hair with the specific wax.

I chose Gatsby's Loose Shuffle formula (pictured above in orange), because it seemed to promise a moderate gloss level, easily manipulable hold, and extra volume, which seemed like it could come in handy for messy or visual-kei looks. Here is the video I had watched:

Price: I ended up buying an 80 gram tub of Gatsby Wax on ebay for around $7.00-$8.00, which is really good for the size.

Review: I was so excited when my product came in that I decided to use it immediately. The first thing I noticed was how incredible the green apple scent was. The second thing I noticed was how extremely sticky it was! That made it a little hard to work with, but it didn't really affect my opinion of the product. This is probably due to the fact that it was made to create wavy textures. As for creating perm-like waves, this product certainly came through for me. It worked exactly the way it was demonstrated in the video, and it was certainly very easy to create a nice style in my hair. However, though the waves are quite easily formed, they most likely will not hold for long periods of time without a hairspray to finish the style off.

Note!: This product was made for men, but it worked just as fine in my long hair.

My overall opinion of Gatsby is definitely a positive one. I really like this wax, and I plan on buying another tub as soon as I finish my current one.

Expect a Palty Bleach/Hair Dye review with lots of pictures by the end of the week! :D
