yeah your exactly right jrob. I mean, i tried the generic one first a long time ago. but i wasnt used to it, I was mostly used to gel, and i remember it being more clear. I felt it was too greasy, and returned it. but then after i bought waxworks the official one to give it another try. I got used to it, and ended up liking it. Now i went back again and tried the generic, and I dunno. If there is a difference, so far i cant really tell. it makes the hair glossy, without being stiff. The waxworks is similar to a pomade type thing.

I think another product that people out there might enjoy is the texture cream from american crew. Again, its on the expensive side i feel, but for those who dont care about spending money, it leaves the hair very soft and doesnt have such a dramatic shine as waxworks. It also makes your hair feel less greasy then waxworks. I think some might enjoy it for light control and a natural shine.
