Air Rise

I love Gatsby - I’ve been using it for about eight years. Is the first time I try the green one usually get the pink or black one. I don’t think this one specifically meant for my hair as I wanted more volume, but it does help me style it. However, for a max hold, I’d recommend the pink or black one.

Pros: - THIS STUFF SMELLLSSS GREATTTT!! - Really airy lift, this stuff is simply amazing!! - If you put the perfect amount, it makes it so your hair is soft, but it stays up - Packaging is extremely slick and modern - I've been using gatsby for 2 years now and I'll never try anything again!!! - This stuff lasts forever if you use it correctly! I can go almost 3-4 months on one bottle!! Cons: - If you use too much it makes your hair extremely hard and immobile - Dirt and hair gets stuck in between the threads of the cap and it gets kinda gross - The Gatsby is super green, so when you see your old black hair floating in the container, kind of gross I would highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone!! I've been using it for over 2 years and I can't get enough. After I get out of the shower, I lightly dry my hair until it is at the borderline of damp and dry. If you try to use this product while your hair is dry, it will not work very well (in my opinion). I work a little into my fingertips, and I touch the tips of my hair first. After I do that, I work the base of my hair, and then I run my hands through all of my hair. This technique really allows me to conserve the product for months on end and makes my hair extremely light and airy. I would highly recommend this product to all my friends and family. I know there are a lot of gatsby's to try, but if you want a nice light and airy one with medium to long hair, then try this one! I did not receive any money or compensation for this review. I am not affiliated with amazon or any third-party review site. I promise that this is my honest and first-hand review. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a helpful rating on this review if it helped you pull the trigger on this product!!

This is basically the same as Wild Shake (purple container) from Gatsby but with a lighter hold. You can tell that the paste is thinner and lighter. I have super thick hair so I typically reach for Wild Shake. But Wild Shake is pretty strong, so if I'm just lounging around or running errands real quick I’m reaching for this. Like all the moving rubbers, light apple/floral scent and great prices.

Awesome!

I've been buying this pomade for years now and won't stop! The scent is light and fresh. It doesn't have a greasy feel to it. It holds the hair well together-helps keep my fly-aways down. it also helps give a little volume to my hair when I work it into the roots when my hair is down. A little bit goes a long ways, its a great value for the money! Highly recommend!

Discovered this brand while in Japan. You don't need to use much - a fingertip is more than enough for short to medium hair. It holds all day, even in humid weather. The scent is not overpowering.

Gatsby wax is great. I tried different colors and unfortunately this one doesn’t work for me, not strong enough. I would need the pink one or black/grey for better hold for a combover.

I have used Crew Fiber for years. When I discovered it in a sea of horrible products, I thought it was gold. Gatsby's Air Rise is the next level. I have medium hair. More specifically I get my hair cut with scissors but sometimes I'll get some of the longest electric clippers on the sides and back. I like to have my hair around there tidy. I grow out my hair a bit on top, but nothing crazy like these pictures of Japanese men. My hair sticks up a lot around the crown because it's fairly fine/thin. So I use products to make it slightly messy but generally professional, and keep it from sticking up. Crew Fiber does an okay job of that, but it loses hold over the day, it doesn't spread evenly, and it clumps a bit in the hair. To get an ideal styling with Crew Fiber I would have to hair dry my hair but leave it slightly damp. Otherwise it wouldn't work, especially as my hair got longer. I can achieve the same sort of styling with Gatsby Air Rise, but get better results with less meticulous setup (right dampness). Specifically this product beats Crew Fiber in the following ways: 1. It holds much better throughout the day. I can workout, sweat a bit, and it's 90% still there. 2. Leaves the hair softer to touch. 3. Does not clump. 4. Requires less focus to apply it. Just get a dab, spread on hands evenly, and rake. It won't insta-dry like other products prior to application. To those with similar hair/style: I also tried Gatsby Spikey Edge. It has more hold, leaves my hair stickier, and clumps a bit, especially in the bangs. Seems more appropriate for short hair.

男女ともに家族で使っています。 適度にまとまって、においも強くないのでずっとこれです。 近所では売っていないのでいつもこちらで注文しています。

great hair product! Really well suited for med/long black asian hair. It's not too sticky when you first put it on, yet it has very strong hold all day. It also has a very natural look and doesn't leave a shiny greasy finish like most waxes. This is my favourite brand of hair products! I tried the pink one before and loved it, but it was very sticky and more suited for shorter hair (ie. didn't style as well). I think this one works even better for my purposes.

I'm mixed race, my hair is slightly wavy naturally and I keep it long enough to be styled in a middle part. I use this product daily and it is perfect for my needs.

Worked well. Small amount goes a long way. Was able to style my stiff asian fringe, which looked a bit like porcupine quills right after I had a choppy fringe done. Able to style hair even after a few hours of wearing. Has a slight shine and smells like apples.

Excellent Product.
