Product Reviews by Experts


My daughter has just gotten into wax sticks, and this one is wonders for her wispy flyaways around her face. It’s a bit of a game changer for school mornings now as she can apply it herself and even take it to school if she wants. Kid-approved! I love that this brand places such significance on sustainable packaging and products, and that in this particular product they use by-products of agricultural farming. That’s a really smart business idea, but also a very ethical and sustainable approach!


Works well for flyaways and has a strong hold. It was handy to incorporate into hairstyle routine for school mornings. It’s impressive the formulations are intentional, simple and all natural. I like that they support mental health for expectant parents and that they partner with Gidget foundation Australia.


A great little stick for slicking back flyaways and making my kids’ ponytails look more profesh. I am impressed with the care given to sourcing quality ingredients and the sustainability of the packaging and manufacturing process.
