Quicksand

Unlike anything else I’ve ever tried.. believe me I’ve tried them all.. IMO I love it. I have low skin fade with side parting. Like to have it natural look. It’s leaves your hair really soft & rework-able. Doesn’t fail halfway thru the day. Strong, but can restyle easily . Bit pricey, but worth it. Use with a good quality sea salt spray. Works great..

I've been using Quicksand for a number of years, remains the only product that truly produces a matt finish without any greasiness. perfect to adding texture and shape to my fine hair From what I've found out, it the ingredient 'diatomaceous earth' that is key to it's properties, and many of the alternatives I've tried and failed with are not made with this...

Smell is fine, strange product definitely has some hold. Doesn’t make your hair too greasy but not as much hold as I personally would like, I would say that it’s a bit on the pricey side for what it does.

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.

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

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.

Okay, let me just start off by saying I'm a woman with extremely thick, curly, and frizzy hair. I have had trouble searching for a product that does not leave my hair feeling oily, greasy, or weighs down my curls. Not to mention women's products are overly perfumed and don't cater well to those who have hair in between textures. So out of frustration I looked at men's hair products. I wished I had done so sooner. This hair wax locks down on any frizz without weighing down my curls, allowing them to maintain their coil. Its not greasy at all and like many others have said, has a dry matte finish. It emulsifies fairly quickly and has a grainy texture that dissipates once its in your hair. Its not overly perfumed and has a slight almond-like/jojoba scent. It holds fabulously and I won't be wasting money on any more hair styling products.

Doesn’t meet expectations

Tengo el cabello fino y facil de q se quede apelmazado pero este producto me da mucho volumen, lo uso como pre-peinado y me va de maravilla. Sin perfume y con productos naturales

I've been using Hanz de Fuko Quicksand for about 6 months now and it's become my go-to styling product. Here's why it works: The Good Stuff: • All-day hold that actually lasts - I'm not reapplying halfway through the day like with other products • Clean, matte finish - No shine, no oily look, just natural-looking styled hair • Not sticky or tacky - Feels clean in your hair, which is huge for me • Better than the competition - I've tried other brands in this category and this one just performs better Bottom Line: If you want a product that holds strong, looks natural, and doesn't feel gross in your hair, this is it. The texture is perfect - gives you control without making it obvious you're using product. Worth the price for something that actually does what it says it will. Would I buy again? Absolutely. Already planning my next order.

If there is any product that holds your hair in place, easy to remove, organic and works fabulously well on thin hairs, it's hanz de fuko quicksand. Amazing product
