No silly! I don’t mean spraying your hair with axe deodorant spray, it would just dry up your hair! For those of you that have not seen the commercials all over the internet and television, axe has had this product line for quite a while now and not until recently have I actually seen it at my local drug store.
So yea upon first glance this looks like any regular hair product the container looks pretty neat and kind of punk. When I opened it, it was a different story; a strong smell came from the container the smell of deodorant! Now if you watch my YouTube videos I’ve talked about a M6 wax that I’ve used that I said it smelled like deodorant but this one was 10 times as strong it practically covered up my body odor! The product costs about 9$ Canadian so around 8$ American.
The consistency of this product is fairly thick and hard to dig in to. To get the right amount for your hair can be a difficult task, so use this product sparingly or your hair will not “work” properly. When a product such as this one has thick consistency it usually means it is dense so it is fairly heavy and not meant for longer hairstyles, I’ve tried this product on medium hair and I still never get the look I want with it, yet. Even though the product is fairly heavy, it spreads well and evenly into your hair so it is kind of hard to over saturate or have any residue in your hair.
This product is ideal for fast hairstyles and easy “fix ups” meaning once the product is in your hair it is easy to get out and easy to maneuver so for example, you can change hairstyles in the middle of a windy day cause you know, windy is a hairs worse nightmare. Sort of like that Gatsby effect if you’ve used Gatsby that is. So that is why I strongly advise anyone “Noob” to doing their own hair styles to try this product its really meant for beginners.

mmmmmmm I haven’t experienced anything like this yet I think I’ve lost more from washing out Gatsby from my hair than anything else I’ve used

I always associate the smell of Axe with someone who has really bad BO and thinks covering it with something stronger (rather than taking a shower) is a good idea (like my roommate).
