Concept Creations Matte Review<\/h1>\n

Concept Creations is one of the latest brands in 2018. This is a brand from the USA, which aims to empower men to build their confidence starting through grooming. This lifestyle brand certainly has a great mission statement. We are pleased that the founders of Concept Creations was so generous to send over their products over for a review. This is one of the decently priced products in the market but can they perform as well, if not better? Let\u2019s dive into it now! <\/p>\n

Type<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Matte, Water Based Wax <\/p>\n

Design and Packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Matte Wax is housed in a good solid plastic packaging. With a black cover, this is considered a very light in terms of weight, 100ml. This means it is flight friendly, can be easily carried together in your travels. Thumbs up to this considerate design!<\/p>\n

On the labels, besides mentioning the ingredients and directions to use, you will notice there is an interesting measurement of the hold factor. For this product, it is indicated as 8 out of 15+ . I believe they have great ambition to continue to improve their products even better, at least on the hold. <\/p>\n

Scent<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The scent is pleasant, a refreshing cologne smell<\/a> that is not overpowering, but enough to get a hint of it throughout the day. It reminds of the Ubersuave Texturing Matte Wax as well. <\/p>\n

Texture & Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This Matte Product has a smooth white texture, similar to a typical light wax product. It can be slightly sticky but no big deal. <\/p>\n

For this test, I tried it on a dry hair. It require 2 scoops to style my hair and the application was a breeze. However, it gets in shape pretty quickly and felt a little harden, not too much. During restyle, you will feel a tug if it is done with your dry fingers. Hence, I would advice to use a wet comb for smoother restyling experience. Add extra products for more hold.<\/p>\n

Shine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No Shine. Very Matte<\/p>\n

Volume<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is a product that provides quite a good a volume when accompanied with blow dry. Considering the humid weather in Singapore, it does holds the volume pretty well almost throughout the day. <\/p>\n
