Bumble and bumble.Sumotech Flexible Hold Cream Solid | Pliable Texture, Flexible Hold + Lo-shine Finish | Wavy, Straight, 1.5 Ounce

This is a really good every day product that keeps my straight medium length hair in place without looking wet or gummy. I have a tendency to touch my hair throughout the day and this product still holds up and I’ve noticed that the smell also last for several hours after applying it.

I love Bumble & Bumble products. It is a great product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very good hold, not greasy. I like it!Durability:The hold lasts on my fine hair.

Not super silky, holds the hair well. I have tried some pomades and other products, they either didn’t have any hold, WAY too much hold, or they smelled terrible. This product barely smells like anything.

I like this stuff a lot - it's a light wax that gives hair a natural-looking but posable set without adding stickiness or crustiness. It also washes out easily and rinses off hands with just water. Doesn't add shine. Great stuff!However, I don't like it as much as my favorite product in this category, Garnier/Fructis Surfer Hair, a drugstore product that's widely available and costs only $5 or so. They're similar formulations: water, a wax, and a little bit of polymer. The exact ingredients are slightly different (Sumo Tech uses wool wax and PVP, Surfer Hair uses beeswax and PEG), but the main difference is that Surfer Hair includes a lot more water. It has a gel-like consistency, whereas Sumo Tech is more like a dry clay.In theory, less water is better (why pay for filler?), but in practice, the water is kind of a critical ingredient. I like a somewhat loose and messy effect, and with Sumo Tech I actually have to run damp hands through my hair before applying it just to get the right hydration, a step that's not necessary with Surfer Hair. Sumo Tech also has to be carefully chipped or dug out of the jar with a fingertip (because it's so thick and clay-like), then rubbed between your hands to warm it and make it distribute evenly. If you don't spend enough time on this, you're likely to end up with clumps of Sumo Tech in your hair.Once applied, the two products feel and perform essentially identically.I'd recommend Sumo Tech only to those who plan to apply a lot of product or who want a very "dry-applied" look.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have used this product before and this stuff is hands down the best putty

Sucks. Not like the previous clay product.

great hold for my thick hair.
