Gatsby Hair Products.... For Women???


If you are at all familiar with Asian products, you will have heard about Gatsby Moving Rubber by Mandom. I have personally tried most of the products except for the Technical Design Clay, the hair waxes, and the Mobile versions of the original products. I really like a lot of the products in the line, in America we identify them by their colors, but the products do have names. Yellow is Nuance Motion, Bright Blue is Cool Wet, Dark Grey/Black is Technical Design Clay, Grey is the Grunge Mat, Red/Pink is Spiky Edge, Purple/Lavender is Wild Shake, Orange is Loose Shuffle, and Bright Green is Air Rise. I'm pretty sure they all have the shampoo-y apple scent. I don't know about the Tech Design though. The scent is pretty soft, but can become a bit bothersome. I just ordered the Tech Design as well as reordered some of my faves, and I will be doing a series of vids on how to use these with long hair. I have found these to retail about $10-15, but it really depends on where you can find them... check Ebay they're a bit cheaper there.

Nuance Motion(Yellow) - Very malleable... You can pretty much move this around all day. This is a typical pomade sort of product, texture wise. Its not greasy, but can be a bit waxy... The waxiness could be because I'm using too much product though. I don't mind the waxiness, because it doesn't stay in my hair and I can just wash it out... Now, my hair is waist long and pretty fine. I like to use this product is when I have my hair up and need to add volume.

Spiky Edge(Red) - This is for Short hair. This doesn't work as well for me because when it sets it hardens a bit and I've found it to be chunky... But this IS for really short hair so... yeah.

Wild Shake(Purple) - Short to medium short styles. I love this one! Its really great for volumizing and for a more wild tousled look, especially great for beach waves!!! I love this one for volume and texture.

Loose Shuffle(Orange) - Short to Medium long hair. This one worked better on my hair so I recommend it to people with long hair. Adds great movement and dimension. Also great for beach waves.

Air Rise(Green) - For Medium short to medium long hair. I like this one too, its great for really bouncy volumized hair. Adds quite a bit of control so its great for holding curls.

Cool Wet(Blue) - Short to medium long. I remember not liking the finish of this... But I've never like the constantly wet hair style... In my opinion it makes people look like a drowned puppy.... Idk I just get that... I would only use a little of this on top of my hair for shine.

Grunge Mat(Light Grey) - Extremely short to medium short. I like this one for adding texture.

Ojon Hair Care: Review

I actually really like these products... More than I thought I would. I went online, read some reviews, and finally made up my mind to buy it. I went to ebay for this purchase, payed about half I would otherwise, and got my package in about a week.

Here's what I bought:
Thickening Shampoo 8.44 oz (22.00)
Thickening Conditioner 8.44 oz (24.00)
Restorative Hair Treatment 3.1 oz (originally 21.00)

For all three of these products, I paid about 25.00, so that's a much better price. If you want to try this line, be sure to go to ebay!!! But always do your homework when shopping there, and go for the top ranking sellers.

The Shampoo:
Sort of a creamed corn yellow. I love the scent, its like wildflowers... Cleanses well. The only problem I had was that the bottle always cuts my fingers/hand. Be careful with that, its really sharp!! I didn't notice any thickening, but I didn't get this product for that. 10 Stars

The Conditioner:
Bright Green. Thick consistency, almost too thick, I had to add water to be able to get it out of the bottle!! Love the scent, again smells like wildflowers or chamomile... I like the conditioning, really closes my hair follicle, and makes my hair exceptionally shiny. I didn't notice any thickening, but I didn't get this product for that. And again, be careful with the cap of the bottle... its very sharp! 10 Stars

Hair Treatment:
Basically a solid oil. Very thick, came with the comb/scoop. Smells like coffee, but in a very earthy, hippy way, which I like. I use this maybe once a week. Can leave the bathtub oily, be careful. DO NOT use this as a leave-in, it will make your hair oily and unmanageable, or at least it did for mine. I don't notice much of a difference with this product. 6 Stars
