Maneuver Work Wax Unisex Wax by Redken, 3.4 Ounce

I've tried many pomade type styling products and this is the best I've used. It has a white color, a near solid consistency, and pleasant scent. I like to apply a bit to my palms and rub them together which renders it clear and then apply to my hair. I have a wild cow-lick on my head and it adds some weight and control to prevent my inner Alfalfa from springing forward. As it settles onto your hair over time, it compliments your own hair and scalp natural oils and has a light feel. I have short hair so one jar lasts me months.

I'm not as much of a fan of this product as other reviewers. It essentially does what it promises -- provides a strong hold and is reworkable, without flaking. However, I tried the Maneuver Working Wax as a substitute for Redken Water Wax. The Maneuver Working Wax offers a stronger hold, you can rework your hair later in the day with a little bit of water, and there is more of it so it lasts a little longer (but you have to use more per day). However, I like a softer hold, and I don't like the look or feel of this product in my hair. It causes hair to look and feel a little dull and crunchy, and when you run your hand through your hair, it definitely feels like there is product buildup (a little sticky). It all depends on what you're looking for: if you're going for a strong hold or doing some bold styling, this might be just what you need. But if you just want to control some frizz and give your hair a little sheen or style, this probably isn't for you.

I like how easy it is to care for my hair. After shower, I apply nickel size of working wax spread over both of my palms and just slide my hands into my hair. It holds without hardness and gives my hair some texture. I can rework it with some water later in the day. It doesn't make the hair hard like gel or hairspray nor would it have hold like super hold gel either. It just lets the hair grab on by giving that needed texture.
