Review: Graham Webb Brit Style Whipped Wax

britstylewhipped.jpg What They Say: "From the edge of New York Fashion Week to the daily commute on the subway, Graham Webb’s Brit Style Whipped Wax will take you there and everywhere in between. Cropped haircuts are flooding salons with a vengeance – this gender-neutral product contains Beeswax and Palm to sculpt and style these looks with a soft, smooth, and airy hold. You’ll have all the benefits of a wax; however it’s in a crème format so it is lightweight and easily distributed through hair.

Mix a little of the Whipped Wax with mousse or other styling products for instant added softness, smoothness, and control. If you’re in a hurry and your hair is still wet, bring it with you and apply once you get to work. The crème format glides on evenly without leaving hands greasy or gooey. All Graham Webb products contain Thermacore Complex, a patented key ingredient that is activated upon the application of heat over 98 degrees, penetrating strength and moisture down into the hair shaft so that blow dryers and styling tools actually make hair healthier!"

Jamie’s Thoughts: I’m thankful for the very complete product description above, as it makes it easy for me to spend my portion of this review emphasizing to you how much I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Yes, I’m breaking out the all caps for this one. It does all that it says above, and more. Allow me to explain. Last fall, I chopped 11 inches off of my hair and donated it to charity. I needed a haircut anyhow, and when my stylist suggested it, I thought, “Why not? It will grow back.” I did not, however, prepare myself for that period of re-growth. Suddenly, I was left with extremely short, curly hair and absolutely no idea how to style it. Enter Brit Style Whipped Wax…

This product has single handedly saved my awkward, now-3-months-grown-out hairstyle, and has kept me from looking like a backup dancer for Herman & The Hermits. I have put this wax through a litany of tests – it has passed every one, including the unexpected heat wave here in Chicago when the humidity jumped to about 70%. In the morning, I take a full dose (which is about the size of a quarter), emulsify it, and run it through my towel-dried hair – by the time I get to the office, it’s partially dry and totally in control. On the days I didn’t use it in the morning, I ended up needing it to combat midday frizz – another success. I also love it when straightening – it stands up to both my ceramic hairdryer and my ceramic flat iron, leaving my hair shiny, bouncy, and soft. If you have short hair, go out and buy this product as soon as you can. I also suggest it for curly girls, and am confident that it would also work on longer hair. And it smells good!

I will continue to use this product until it is discontinued, or until they have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. It’s THAT good. Now all I have to do is hope that my current supply lasts until they release the product to market in May.

Retail Price: $17.95 (go to grahamwebb.com to find a salon retailer near you)

Margaret! I am so excited that you chimed in - I had no idea -- I was going solely off the press release that they had provided to us, accompanying the product itself. It slated a May 07 release date.

This is excellent news. I was really afraid that I would be stuck in frizzland the entire month of April.

Be sure to check back in and let me know what you think!

I bought this at Ulta on Sunday, used it on Monday and blew my hair straight. Used it again today and left my hair curly. Both days were banner hair days! I think I'm in love. Thanks for the review and recommendation!
