Tsunami Matte Cream

Excellent Firm Hold Performance

I've used many products throughout the years, and Tsunami has become one of my daily drivers. Here's why: 1. Firm, lightweight hold. Tsunami offers noticeable grip and control while styling without weighing down your hair, especially if you have fine hair and/or shorter hair styles like myself. It excels specifically as a post-styler to blow dried hair, providing a true firm hold while remaining lightweight, flexible, and non-greasy throughout the day. 2. Natural finish. Once in the hair, you're left with a natural sheen rather than a high shine/oily or matte/"dusty dry" finish. It helps your hair color look richer, which I find preferable for my daily office job. 3. Ease of use. Easy to scoop. Easy to breakdown in the hands. Easy to apply. Easy to wash out. For lack of better words...it's easy. 4. Mild scent. Smells like a fresh blue body wash (it's called Tsunami after all!), and is overall mild which I prefer, as it doesn't clash with any of my colognes. Kathy does an incredible job intentionally crafting all of her products to fit certain needs. If you're looking for a "set and forget" product for modern hair styles, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better.

Total Disappointment

My hopes were high for the Tsunami Matte Cream, and it completely missed the mark. The Apex I also purchased provides a stronger hold than this, and the Tsunami also leaves small pieces of its contents spread throughout my hair that I'm left carefully removing with tweezers. While I appreciate natural ingredients, a styling cream defeats the purpose of making you more presentable if it's leaving behind sandy brown flecks of its ingredients in dark hair. Maybe this product would be better for those with lighter hair, but it still misses the mark in every other area it's advertised to be good for. Like the Apex (in my experience) it's one redeeming quality is the scent.

Great product. Works as expected. Keeps my hair looking good!
