Hanz de Fuko Quicksand – Premium Men’s Hair Styling Wax & Dry Shampoo Combo – High Hold, Ultra Matte Finish – Certified Organic Ingredients, 56g

Hanz de Fuko Quicksand definitely feels like a premium product. The texture is dense and smooth, lacking the wet, heavy feel that often comes with clays or putties, and the added dry shampoo feature means your hair feels far less greasy than with similar products.That said, this isn’t a budget-friendly option, so you’ll need to decide if the price is worth it for you. It’s not the quickest styling product – if you’re after something easy to throw in and go, this might not be ideal. But if you want a firm hold, less shine, and that refreshing dry-shampoo effect, Quicksand is worth a look.

My hair: fine, straight, short-medium length, black.My style: Grade 3-5 on the sides and back. Varying lengths at the top (4-12 inches). Standing up when short. Swept back style when longer.Hanz de Fuko (Quicksand)Pros:- emulsifies quickly in the hands and applies to hair easily. Not tacky/sticky.- nice matte effect. Not greasy/shiny at all.- Gives strong hold with a 'natural' look.- I only need a small amount (half a fingernail sized) to get a good hold.- Applies well on towel-dried or dry hair. I hair-dry my hair then apply - this seems to give best styling effect.- Lasts most of the day (does lose hold a little with longer hair however).- Mould-able hair - can change/readjust style easily during the day without necessarily applying more product.- Washes out easily, no residue. I don't feel I need to wash it out at the end of the day.Cons:- Cost. Not much in each pot (expensive per gram compared to other products). However (my opinion) worth the expense.- Gives hair a "sandy" texture (although some consider this a plus point?)- works well with short hair but not much else.- No real scent (smells like mud). Not unpleasant however.Overall, I think this product is great. I have purchased HDF quicksand 4 times in the last 4 years. It is my favourite amongst the HDF range and one of my favourites overall.

Easy to apply and re-shape. Non sticky or greasy, does great job of a matt finish with reasonable hold and volume. If you want more hold, then Claymation is better.Good to know natural and organic, so good for your hair too!

It's a decent product, but unfortunately it dries out my hair way too much. Additionally, as another reviewer commented, it does not have the most pleasant smell and possesses a 'mud-like' smell.Not a deal breaker but something to take into account before buying this product. Too expensive for what it offers.Overall, it's something which I would use once in a while, rather than on a regular basis.

The texture is a bit off putting in your hands as it’s kind of gritty, but feels good in the hair given a dry look. No strong smells. Holds they hear well through the day with ability to reshape. Will buy again

Didn't hold well for me, but thickens the hair

I bought this as an alternative to claymation as I figured something with slightly less hold would be better for my hair given claymotion is on the strong side for me. As you can tell from the title, this is RUBBISH. It has the feel and hold of a weak Superdrug own brand putty. It feels like sand mixed with watery pva glue. Annoyingly I can’t return it and I have no real use for it. It doesn’t even work well in a mix with claymotion, it just makes my hair feel slimey. Avoid at all costs, you have been warned. I paid more attention to the positive reviews in some weird confirmation bias mindset, ignoring the plethora of negative reviews! My mistake! I wish I had been more wise.

I have been using quicksand for a week, it’s a great product good hold hair looks really natural nice texture. Smells good. Will be using going forward
