Description

Hair is made up of protein. Every touch, every treatment, every style you love—it all rewrites your hair’s protein. When protein is damaged, hair’s look and feel is compromised. That’s why Nexxus uses protein science not just to repair hair but to restore its ability to perform. It isn’t about one perfect hair day. It’s about a lifetime of style, built strand by strand. That’s where STYLEPROTECT™ Technology comes in—forming a strong hold layer over your sleek style as it’s applied, keeping strands in place while protecting hair’s proteins. This advanced system provides superior glide and control, adds texture and definition, and shields against humidity and environmental stressors for a polished finish without sticky residue, flakes, or flyaways. Our Slick Stick Strong Hold Hair Wax delivers smooth, controlled styles with strong hold and lasting protection for sleek, polished looks. Keep hair sleek and smooth with 48-hour frizz control and protect your style from frizz and flyaways for up to 72 hours with this hair wax. This hair wax hair stick has a superior glide for easy application and precise styling, while also adding texture and definition with a strong hold that lasts—so your look stays sleek and flawless no matter what comes your way. Nexxus, the protein science behind powerful hair since 1979.

    Didn’t love

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this but it felt really hard to use. I felt like the wax flaked off my hair really easily . It doesn’t hold very well and you need to end up restyling your hair anyways.

    Great for flyaways

    I have never been a fan of hairspray. That being said, when I pull my hair back, I use this lightly to have all my flyaways stay put without that stiff crunch that I would get from hairspray. Its a waxy clear texture, easy to use & can fit in a purse easily. It has a faint scent but it's not unpleasant. You must push up like a push-pop yet I find it stays up when being used.

    Slay baby hairs.

    I use this for my daughter's baby hairs. It lays her baby hairs down and makes her hair look nice and clean. I also use it when I'm putting ponytails on her hair it helps the hair stay put. It's very smooth texture, it doesn't leave flakes or buildup. It gives hair a pretty shine. It's not a gel or a cream it's a solid product think of a giant solid chap stick for your hair. You push the product up the tube and apply directly to the hair or you can run it into fingers and rub it in to hair that way.

    That it works

    Love it! Efficient packaging and product works well. I have thick, coarse hair that’s hard to keep down when in a bun but this worked. It did not leave any residue, which I have had happen with other products.

    Works good, not a fan of residue feeling

    I was looking for a wax or flyaway stick to smooth down these annoying little broken hairs I keep having after I've bleached my hair for a year. I was previously using hairspray or gel and it was leaving a ridiculous residue and NOT working. This stick works great and does immediately smooth those broken hairs down. However, it leaves a pretty horrid waxy feeling (it doesn't look greasy though!) It also doesn't last a full day. When I come home after work, a majority of slicked down hairs make their way back up & can make me look disheveled. Currently- i'm still using it daily as it's the best thing I've used so far. However, I'm actively searching for something more effective with less of a residue.

    Strong smell, flaky in hair

    If you don't love a strong perfume scent, this hair wax isn't for you. It did the job of smoothing frizz and flyaways, but also left large white globs/flakes in my hair. I was able to disappear them by pinching/rubbing each of them between my fingers, but it was a tedious 5-8 minutes to do that. Returned.

    This hair wax stick is a lifesaver for sleek hairstyles and flyaway control. It glides on smoothly, holds baby hairs in place all day, and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. Perfect for buns, ponytails, or slick-back looks. Plus, the packaging is super chic and compact—great for on-the-go!

    Soft and gentle

    The Nexxus Slick Stick is a total game changer for sleek hairstyles. It instantly smooths flyaways and baby hairs without leaving any greasy or stiff residue. The wand applicator makes it super easy to use and mess-free. Whether I’m doing a slick bun or just need a polished look on the go, this stick keeps everything in place all day. It’s lightweight, smells great, and doesn’t flake.

    Strong smell

    Dislike the strong smell and little wax flakes left in hair. The mechanism to push the wax up left me with either too much product or sticky hands. Will return.

    Its slick but it pulls hairs

    I love how easily it slicks back my baby hairs but sometimes it pulls some of those hairs off. Might need to be a little softer while applying it on my hair.
