Supershine Smoothing Wax Styling Stick

I am genuinely amazed by how well this wax stick works. For reference, my hair type is coarse, low porosity and medium-to-high density. I workout with my hair styled as a silkpress 3 to 4 times a week. I apply this stick directly on my edges and the nape lightly at first and build from there. I then smooth the product with my fingers (for the body heat) and continue with a boar bristle brush. I then put my headband on (I use the GymWrap by Nicole Ari Parker). From there, I do the standard after-gym care for my silkpress. I also wrap or knot my hair into bantu knots to preserve my style at night. When I tell you the edges remain laid! Better than any edge control I have tried so far. The edges are flat with a bit of texture and that is to be expected. They are baby soft too and show no signs of residue! The next morning, they look even better! I went to the gym 2 days in a row and the silkpress is still going strong. Given my hair type, a very light application on the length of my hair helps (i.e. any pressure points created by elastics, claw clips or bantu knots) -- it is almost better than oil. A very light application my coarse yet fragile ends also help tremendously, keeping them lubricated. I don't hear them snap or crunch when I run my fingers through. I also use parsimoniously the Oribe Gold Lust Oil, mainly on the ends. My hair still has body and movement. After the first use at the gym, I use less and less at each subsequent use. Oribe deserves their flowers here and I paid full price for it at a local salon. If this is also helpful: my curl pattern according to the Andre Walker system is 3c-4a (type 4) but honestly, keep in mind my hair type (and not the curl pattern) when you read this review! Happy Silkpress Season!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Love this stick. I use it for my slickbacks and it looks great and doesnt feel crunchy at all. I think it smells really nice too. I like it more than others I’ve tried because I dont find it difficult to wash out. Overall I really enjoy.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This has quickly become my favorite product for taming flyaways and creating a sleek ponytail or bun. It glides on easily, gives my hair a polished finish without feeling sticky, and keeps everything in place for hours. I also love that it’s compact enough to toss in my bag for quick touch-ups. Just use a light hand if you’re wearing your hair down, since a little goes a long way!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I loved how my hair looks and feels with it, it doesn’t leave my hair greasy and i didn’t get any white wax residue either. I really didn’t feel any scent to it which is perfect because that way i can use my hair perfume without mixing fragances

Apply too little and it does nothing. Apply too much and it looks greasy and still does nothing. Don’t trust these incentivized reviews.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Oribe Supershine Smoothing Wax Stick ($46) is a high-end, treatment-focused styling stick designed specifically for taming flyaways, managing frizz, and locking in slicked-back styles. Expanding on their popular Supershine line, Oribe built this formula to bridge the gap between strong styling performance and active hair health.

So great! Natural look with a great hold and doesn’t feel greasy or gross. Must have for slick back hair.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This wax stick has seriously made a difference in my routine. It is easy to use, you cannot apply too much of this product. I have used it consistently when I out my hair up and want my style to stay in place. It makes it through hours of tennis. Removal is also simple, I’ve used other products before but this is by far the easiest to wash off and there is no residue left. I double wash my hair everytime because I use it multiple times a week without washing my hair everyday.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Oribe smoothing wax stick has helped my flyaways stay in place. Giving me a sleek look and presenting my best. It's easy to apply with just a few swipes and I use it every time I wear a pony or sleek. So easy to wash out of my hair and leaves me looking fresh! Love this for all hair

The best hair wax stick I’ve tried—and I’ve tried many! I have curly, slightly dry, frizz-prone hair, and this smooths down every little flyaway beautifully without making my hair look or feel greasy. It leaves everything polished, smooth, and perfectly in place. It is pricey, but 100% worth it!
