I second that. I wonder how one might go about taking some of the shine OUT of Waxworks???

The thing I don't like about gel is the crispy texture. Waxes are really the way to go for more modern hairstyles. I like the textured "disheveled" look.

BTW.....Blue Max won't give you much shine. You are better off using a the shine drops as you mentioned or another serum that is specifically designed to increase shine. Phenyl trimethicone is the ingredient you want to look for, which was purposefully left out of the Blue Max formulation so as not to add too much shine to the hair.
