Product reviews of Bumble and Bumble Sumo Wax, 1.5-Ounce Jar
Review: Very good, if you use it correctly!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I got a jar of this as a stocking stuffer a couple years ago. I had opened the box and threw out the directions (who needs directions for product?) long before I first used it. So, I get my hair cut really short in the spring and my other products aren't cutting it and I decide to try the wax. It worked great, but it took a really long time to apply! The wax was so hard that I could only get a little bit on my fingers at a time. Took about five minutes to get enough on what little hair I had.
Well, I get another jar and look at the directions and see that you are supposed to melt it with your hairdryer first! D'oh! So much easier to apply. Actually too easy, since you can over-apply it! I don't use a hairdryer, so I soak it in a the sink with hot water while I shower. It is ready to go when I am.
It gives great control and, like the others have said, texture. I can run my hands through it and it doesn't feel waxy, stiff or crunchy. Great for hot days, since sweat doesn't affect it. Perfect for really short hair, but I have started to use it when my hair is longer, too. My hair grows fast and I sometimes use three different types of product depending on the length. The only minus is it will leave waxy streaks on your sunglasses it you wear them on top of your head.
I got one jar that was soft, though. I thought they had changed the formula (because of idiots like me) so you didn't need to heat it. Well, I have never gotten another like that. Maybe it was counterfeit? The Chinese will copy anything these days. If you're ever in Paris, visit the musée de la contrefaçon and see what I mean!
Review: Works well but can't stand the smell
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I really liked how my hair could be styled in different ways (I have short hair) and stayed the way I wanted for most of the day.
The only problem I had with it is the smell. Some of the other reviews say the smell is not overpowering and it isn't unless the Sun hits your head. When the Sun hits your head on a warm day, forget it. It starts to have a very waxy smell (duh) plus add in some of that fragrant they put in it and the mix does not smell pleasant.
Review: works well in cooler weather

melt this wax with your blowdryer and it will harden after you've sculpted your hair thus forming a strong hold. sometimes I literally put my head in the freezer to make sure my hair is how i want it when I leave the house. :) the problem with this is that if you live in a hot climate area or work in the sun, the hold weakens because the wax melts again. I'm not saying your forehead will be oily. you'll just notice that the hold lost a little life.
