Gatsby Moving Rubber Spikey Edge [Pink] – Product Review
Ahh the infamous Gatsby Pink, most of you should have atleast heard or used it before I remember using this way back in grade 12 best product ever, anyways on with the review.
Its pink! what can I say comes in a circular container with a bit of a matte look to it comes in 80g and probably the only 80g of hair product you’re gonna need for 3-4 months trust
me. It conviently stacks with other gatsby products that are from the same
product line… named “Moving Rubber”. The smell of the product can get some getting use to its heavy rubber smell with a hint of a fruit which I can not identify it doesnt matter anyways the smell goes away when the wax drys up.
I’ve been using this product for atleast 3-4 years now so I really know how this product works. First of all the pink gatsby has very strong hold so when applying it tends to pull your hair a lot, if your spreading it with your palms so I suggest the majority of you with medium hair to use the finger tip technique to spread by “pulling” like how you pull flowers to spread the wax. This product is mainly for people with short to medium hair as the gatsby chart proclaims, which be seen here. This product is very good at defining hair spikes and because of that hair spray should not be used with this product it’ll would be redundant to do so.
After using this product you might notice this product is very hard to wash off and sometimes you might even notice hair starts falling off this is probably one of the worse things about gatsby pink because its so good hold its very hard to was off you might have to wash your hair atleast quick to get rid of all the products. So one of the techniques that I’ve learned to deal with this problem is to either comb it while washing your hair or wash it first then use the hair straightener heat weakens this product to a point where it no longer provides hold. One more thing this products dries relatively fast so when you’re taking the wax you need make sure you close the container!
| Pros | Cons |
| Good hold | Smell (goes away later) |
| No shine | Hard to wash off |
| Ideal for Medium & Short hair | Very heavy may not be strong enough for medium hair styles |
| Gives a natural look |
Complimenting Hair Products:
-Any kind of hair product that lifts and gives body to your hair, this product can be used as a body for short hair.

my hair style is flat fringe and sides with spikes on top and at back, my hair is about 2 1/2 inches.
add me on facebook @ Scott avery. my profile pic is black and white. tell me if i helped or not
bye
if your hair is like this, i definitely recommend this product! and btw, the smell is actually nice. . .
how i style : see the first wrinkle and your finger? fill that with pink gatsby, spread all over palms and fingers evenly.just make sure it gets in your hair by messing your hair up roughly, the do the same thing again and style the spikes whatever way you want.Then flatten the sides and fringe with your hands until they are relatively flat and comb down the fringe and ends of sides. i personally comb my fringe slightly to the right and comb the end of the left side of my hair straight and the right side more down. And thats it

Is the pink gatsby good? Will it hold all day? My hair about 2-3 inches long. So would it be better if I used purple gatsby?
