When it comes to styling my hair, it’s all about low effort for high reward (which, side note, is why I am so obsessed with the Dyson AirWrap). My go-to lazy girl hairstyles rotate between a top knot and high ponytail but my baby hairs and hairline cowlick love to make like Miley Cyrus and Can’t Be Tamed. So, when I saw the SNTE Hair Wax Stick
on social media, I immediately added it to my cart for testing IRL. Spoiler: It’s worth the hype—and on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
I’ve actually tried a few popular hair wax sticks, including the INH Sleek Stick
, which is also viral on TikTok Shop. While most are great for sticking those stubborn strands down to create a slick-back ‘do, none of them actually come out of my hair without several rinse and repeats (and even still, my hairdresser said she could feel the waxy residue at a recent salon appointment).
I expected the same from the SNTE Hair Wax Stick
but was shocked to find that it not only has a flexible yet strong hold but it also washes out without much effort. This is likely due to its more gentle and nourishing formula, which consists of beeswax, avocado oil, vitamin E, and castor oil to nourish, repair, and smooth strands.
The SNTE Hair Wax Stick
is also super long-lasting. I’ve tested it for 12+ hours at Disneyland, during a visit to a botanical garden in 90-degree weather, and by the breezy ocean where my flyaways thrive. Some strands pop up here and there (it’d be crazy if they didn’t in those more extreme environments), but my hair stays mostly slicked back every time I use it. And, since the wax doesn’t harden, it’s easy to push those pieces back in place.
