For some time now STMNT Grooming Goods has built a reputation in men’s grooming by blending straightforward barber-inspired styling with modern, everyday usability. Their goal: to offer hairstyling “tools” that let you create the looks you want. Fast. Easily. Without Fuss.
Their Wax Powder definitely lives up to that ideal. It works differently than a typical hair wax or clay too, as it starts as a light powder. But once worked into dry hair it transforms into a pliable wax with volume, grip and medium hold—and all minus the tacky, slippery texture.
Fuelled with sorbitol, glycerin, water, silica derivatives and cellulose, the formula adds texture, absorbs oil and holds hair in place. Additionally, glycerin helps add subtle moisture balance, while the silica/silicate elements give the powder structure and volume without weight. The cellulose helps distribute product evenly and aids in the transformation from powder to wax, ensuring that the hold you feel is natural and easy to shape rather than stiff or greasy. The overall effect is a semi-matte, non-sticky, well-styled look.
And all you have to do to use it, is shake a little of the powder onto dry hair, work it in with your fingers and then twist, turn and style your hair in whichever direction you like. No matter your preferred look, your hair will have noticeable volume, texture and definition. Anyone can use it as well, especially if you’ve got finer hair and want a little extra lift and separation without heaviness. Short to medium cuts will also appreciate the root-level volume and flexible hold. Plus, its matte black and gold packaging is cool and compact so fits easily in a backpack or overnight bag.
