As an editor who favors an updo on the daily, I’ve tried countless products to achieve that perfect, polished slicked-back look. Some were too greasy, others left sticky residue and many just didn’t hold down frizz or flyaways as promised. So, I’m pleased that I’ve discovered the ultimate styling kit: DESIGNME The Final Touch Kit— a styling innovation that has quickly become my go-to for achieving effortlessly sleek styles in seconds.
The twistable, handy stick offers mess-free application: No dirty hands, just swipe right directly onto your scalp and go. The best part of the styling stick is its versatility. The buildable formula holds flyaways down with one light swipe, but I can also keep layering it on for a tighter, more glued-down effect. No matter how much I apply, the formula does not turn sticky, clumpy or leave any type of visible residue, nor does it dry crunchy or appear overly shiny, either.
With other products, I’m usually forced to wash my hair after a slicked-back updo day, but this versatile formula allows me to simply brush it out and go for another hairstyle if I want to, leaving my strands silky, shiny and frizz-free.
So how is the formula that good? It relies on natural ingredients like candelilla wax for hold, castor seed oil as a hydrating humectant and shine booster and jojoba esters, which are rich in essential nutrients and can add strength and shine to dull hair. I also love that it’s safe and effective for all hair types.
I’m blown away by this silky, buildable formula and love the size (perfect for my purse when I’m on-the-go), as well as the teardrop shape, which is convenient for getting into hard-to-reach areas (like behind your ears). I’ve also noticed that this formula doesn’t clog my pores, and I haven’t experienced breakouts around my hairline or neck, like I have with some other similar products.
The brand’s Guest Creative Director Philip Wolff shared his favorite things about the product: “One of the coolest innovations in the new styling stick is its packaging, it fits perfectly in your hand, it’s compact and super easy to carry with you,” Wolff says. “It excels in all conditions: During colder months, you can warm it up by rubbing it between your hands or using a hair dryer on low. In humid conditions, it’s incredibly versatile, controlling frizz, providing definition and offering long-lasting hold.”
The HOLD.ME styling stick also comes with an exclusive three-sided detailing brush that has helped me create the perfect pulled-back, sleek look I’m after.
