Reddit reviews GATSBY MOVING RUBBER AIR RISE Hair Wax, 80g/2.8oz

Back to School shopping list:

This, This, or This depending on your hair type/style you want to achieve.

These Converse or these Vans depending on which style you like better. These are going to be your most versatile shoes for "every day" wear.

Assorted Crew or V-Neck Tees, depending on your preference

A good fitting pair of dark jeans, I linked 511's, but those may not suit you depending on your build. Try some pairs on, take pictures, and post them in the Outfit Feedback threads if you're not sure of the fit.


For dressing "up":

Two pairs of well fitting khaki's/chinos in different colors such as these in grey or these in khaki. Again, I linked slimmer fits, as that is what I wear, but you may need to change depending on body type. Posting in the feedback threads is encouraged.

One or two decent Oxford Cloth Button Down collared shirts that fit you well, in light blue and white.

Those should cover your bases as a freshman, as you're not likely going to have to dress super formal.

Note: Because you're just a freshman, you will most likely be hitting many random growth spurts. Try not to spend too much money on clothing, as you will likely outgrow it.

No product 9/10 times! Towel-dry, brush it back with my hair to how I want it to stand, and then blow dry on high heat low power until dry and it usually holds. If it's sitting flat, I use this on the roots and this on the tips.

For the wax, use about a nickel's size on a finger, spread it evenly onto your thumb, index, and middle fingers, and run through your roots to apply evenly, and shape how you want. For the gel, use a dime's size and spread evenly on the same three fingers and kind of pick at your hair where it needs to get some hold like how a monkey picks at fleas, and then blow dry high heat low power till dry

Doesn't have the same shine of American Crew pomade but I'm using Gatsby atm and I love it. Good hold for my short/medium hair and smells good as well.

Either pomade or wax. There's a Japanese brand of wax that looks a bit like this: https://www.amazon.com/GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-RISE-2-8oz/dp/B000V2ACI2/ref=pd_sim_194_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000V2ACI2&pd_rd_r=BXX4FKJ51DFWRWM5297Y&pd_rd_w=cEeAq&pd_rd_wg=Ikw63&psc=1&refRID=BXX4FKJ51DFWRWM5297Y

I've tried American crew for my undercut but it doesn't hold as well as I hoped, the green gatsby will hold your hair up for 2 days

It's a japanese product. I was out of gel on a trip there and picked up a tiny container of it at a 7/11. Its really good, been using it ever since.

A lot of Asian waxes accomplish exactly what you're looking for
